Ibiraquera, Brazil on Sunday!!

WOW I AM SOOOOO EXCITED!! Me, Stef and Tom fly to Ibiraquera Sunday night, 15 hour flight! So I have a couple more days of work left and am busy packing lots of kit, repairing my surfboard and taking lots of spares to Brazil. We fly with TAM, in which we are allowed 2x 32kg bags, which includes windsurf kit! Might be the first time ever I have not paid for kit in an airport! Don't want to jinx myself though...
I had a small windsurf session at Calshot at the weekend to see how my foot was doing, still sore but hopefully another week will make all the difference? Anyway, super stoked to get some good waves soon!....

First surf in ages!

On Saturday evening me and Stef went for a surf at Coney in Porthcawl. Not amazing conditions, the waves were pretty small when we arrived but ended up being waist to head high. But it was sunny, warm and we surfed until sunset. I was glad to be in the sea again since my foot injury. My foot was relatively ok, but still sore when I put a lot of weight on the ball of the foot, i.e. turning. But I think it is just sore and I should work through it now, I guess the muscles and ligaments are still repairing themselves. The physio I saw said it takes about 6 weeks for bones and 12 for tissue to heal, which I never knew-thats a long time! Lucky I did it with about 12 weeks to spare before Brazil! I don't think it will be right for a while but at least I can surf, and only the jumping in windsurfing worries me. I really hope I don't get the fear and it holds me back...
