When it comes to travelling for action sports, ‘Road trips’ are part of our culture and vans a symbol of liberty. Offering the freedom to explore and the option of sleeping where you park they allow us to make last minute plans based on forecasts. I was desperate to windsurf and keen to get in the van and start a wind hunt. I wanted special conditions. I don’t like strong wind, I love waveriding and preferably no crowds. I kept having bad luck on my road trips recently though – rainy days and no wind. I went to Portugal, drove 15 hours, found onshore light wind and mushy waves. So after a while and a lot of disappointment, I decided to go back home. Frustrated and feeling like I was jinxed!
