DREPANO SHOTS

i had the first proper sailing period of the year after
following a 4 day forecast to patras which really paid of .
good company ,every day wind and good temperature
what else to ask for  ?.
now i am back to athens and feelling really tired ,i feel my body in pieces,
and the forecast is promising north winds with low temperatures for 10 days
straight , from the day after tomorow , not really a perfect match to these
4 days but i think i 'll handle it .
here is some videos from me and my friends during the second day

first is a nice bob i did


then a ponch from maui sails team mate pantelis




pipo doing a one handed, head down flaka



chris zakel flaka with his new toy (propably i could sell this vdeo to him )



pantelis sw chachoo on his 'bad' side


and a wet culo from the author

there is some more footage but it is kept secret for a video project .

for now i am resting and having some massage
to be able to deal  with the next forecast

see ya

WINTER CONSIDERATIONS


 as i write this post i am sitting by my window and watching the
road in the black/grey font and rain/snow falling at times.

in the start of the year we had some good sessions  but then
the wind has gone mad which indicates that winter has arrived .

last friday we had 50 knots of south wind which is pretty rare ,
and these days north wind with low temperatures and snow in
 the mountains around athens .
wind is unstable and gusty and it speeds up when it is not snowing
and calm down when it is .
not the perfect conditions for windsurfing starting to consider about
travelling somewhere warmer and better for training .
and then weather forecasts promises west winds for 2 days and then
north agian with good temperature , i think that we windsurfers living in the
mediteranean will never stop having this king of dillima's it is a kind of
a curse not to be able to just say" there is no chance for me to sail here
i HAVE to travel to do it" .
i am not complainning because there is always something new to discover
in your own country with different forecasts and for me it has paid off to
choose this way .
i just hope if i choose it again this year it will be a good one
and promise i will have the footage and  share  it with you

cheers
