I'm too lazy for this...

As usual, I've forget to update at least once per month this. Sorry (to me first), It has been a quite busy period, few times into the water (actually only two since October I guess) and lots of other stuff. Of course the weather has not helped too much. Usually this is the southern wind season in the Basque Country, means very strong winds and really gusty. We missed a couple of session in Laida besides the weather forecasts were showing a consistent 20 to 30kn SE winds. There have been also some days when the wind was definitely too strong (that's why I need to buy a 7m kite...).
Now, thank to La Niña we are having a quite hot winter, no snow over the Pyrenees and the Alps, high temperature also in Germany (just came back from a business trip). By the way it seem we will have big storms from now on...
In the moment I'm writing this, there's an hurricane out there:  SW winds with gusts up to 160km/h. I went to take some picture this morning and it was spectacular. 9mt waves and onshore winds... WOW. Nobody was out there of course, it's definitely too dangerous and you would need a 3mt kite. Unfortunately I'm busy also during the weekends and I really doubt I will have the chance to go kiting a little bit before the end of the year. That's sad, I still have to try my waveboard, a brand new Crazyfly 6'2" Thunder:


 That's it. Next post will be the year 2011 sailing statistics...
