MOTIVATED
The next morning we packed our windsurf kit and headed to the most exposed spot on the headland. When we arrived we saw huge barrelling waves in the distance with spray coming off their tips, which means it’s windy enough to sail! The excitement was unreal. After spending so much money on flights and travelling for more than 30 hours, dropping into that first wave, going down the glassy wall with so much speed and throwing a big turn or huge air felt so amazing and such a relief! For me those are the moments why I windsurf and also why I am ready to deal with all the negative parts in windsurfing or life in general. It was pure and total enjoyment and I felt like a little kid in the water. In these moments there is such a strong and good energy coming out of yourself and out of your sailing too. People that watched from the beach later told us they could literally feel our motivation and enjoyed watching us windsurf. I always want more of that – who wouldn´t? After another great day at the same spot we saw a wave that was even hollower, faster and the reef looked even shallower! When a new swell arrived we set out to give it a go. After checking it many times at different tides and conditions, we unfortunately realized we would not be able to sail it on this trip. However, going home after two amazing weeks of windsurfing and surfing being surrounded by a good crew and welcoming locals, with delicious food and many laughs, I still have those unridden perfectly shaped waves in my mind and is one reason why I will come back one day!
