Quite a few photos for this blog update! Firstly, Chorillos with the K4 harness mount. I used the extended pole version that you can buy HERE I was actually really pleasantly surprised. I hadn't used it yet on the trip as I was waiting for the right conditions, a not too big or windy day as I thought it would be difficult to sail with or I might break it. In fact the day I took it out was about shoulder to head cross-onshore 3.4 weather! A good test! It wasn't hard to sail with, just bounced a little on my back and I had to be aware of it water starting, but it withstood some good wipe-outs! I have made a video of the session but I can't upload it here as the internet is too slow so I'll put it up when I am back in a couple of weeks. Here are some shots from the session:
We also had a good day the next day at Chorillos, it was bigger than I expected with some good logo to mast sets rolling in, which made it all the more scary going for a bottom turn with low tide death dumps! (See the pic...) A really fun session though with only me, Stef, Klass, Lief and Leon. Leon was going for some HUGE stalled forwards and pushies!

We also had the premier of 'Below the Surface' movie by the late Andre Pascowski at Surazo bar. An evening of drinks, amazing food, excited windsurfers and a great movie. I feel proud to be a windsurfer!
Lastly, a nice shot of Matanzas from Surazo. The next few days are looking lighter wind again so perhaps more surfing!
