And there was wind….

Finally there was enough wind to get my kite out of the package and so I did, but now it was the lack of kite skills which prevented me from getting it up immediately. When my skills slowly improved, the wind decided to go on holiday and my kite fell out of the sky. Sal did her best to register my feeble attempts on camera, which means that she had to shoot really quickly to get a pic of me on the board….

So I took my kite to South Africa and there was no time in between visiting family and friends to surf. Besides the water around Cape Town was too cold anyway. Then I took the kite to Hvar, Croatia. Nice weather, nice wind but no beach to start! So I took the kite unused back home and now I took it again to Koh Samui, Thailand and my favorite website is Windguru which is supposed to predict wind and waves…. Everyday the site makes sure I jump out of bed at 8 to check the palm-trees outside our cabin…. dead still. Another day to sleep in. Then I check the site again inn the afternoon and it says that there will be wind tomorrow…. and this is how a website keeps me busy and hoping for wind. I’m so desperate for wind that I almost wanna hire some Thai to fart simultaneously to get the wind going.
