Hi
I apologize for the long break but I have been involved with
other stuff lately.
Here is a short note to share a link which I received from one
Chio Espinosa who runs a surf travel website.
Chio asked me to mention the service they provide and I think that it
may be worth a look. The site contains dozens of water sport resorts which can be booked online. The prices seem reasonable and the resorts
(although mostly surfing spots), include a few nice windsurfing destinations:
I will try to get these guys to acquire more
pure windsurfing destinations on their books in time. If I can do this, it could become a really
useful resource for the windsurfing community.
Our season is really over now and the
rain and cold have arrived. Not much local
sailing to report on then, but I will keep an eye on the PWA racing from May
and comment on notable stuff.
Looking ahead to our upcoming season,
Karo is working on a program of activities for non-racing windsurfers over our
racing week in January. The racing will
take place from 02-06 January 2017 and an impressive field of slalom racers is expected. If any
of you plan to visit Cape Town or Langebaan in January, please consider being
here over this period. We will get some
informal racing going for the recreational sailors and Karo is organising talks
from some of the pro’s (rigging, fins, gybing etc). It should be a really nice break for any
windsurfer.
Our annual downwind dash takes place
after the racing (8/9 Jan) so you can enter if you feel strong. These are all things to bear in mind if you are
planning to visit this part of the world over that period.
Good winds
Phil
