The Drought has Ended


Fristly, apologies to the fans out there for the lack of news from abroad. The main reason is there has been sweet F.A to report on!

For the first 3 weeks in Lanzarote, the wind was relentless and did not stop. Having windsurfed 15 times in 17 days, in a post beer sail I asked my boss does the wind ever stop here is i was really looking forward to a few windless days for the body to recover. As Murphy's Law would have it, the wind stopped, not just for 1 or 2 days, but for 2.5 weeks! Shit!

What does one do in Lanzarote when there is no wind or swell, well pretty much sod all except for a few more drinks and listening to all the locals crap on about how good the surfing gets here in winter. So to bring the wind back, i visited a local Australian surfboard shaper who is set up here in Lanzarote to buy a second hand surfboard. Surely this will be the wind back!

I bought a 6'5'' hot buttered thruster in good condition for 160 euro's


Now we wait!
