Aruba Hi winds 2013

Aruba Hi winds is one of the nicest events to be at. It's also the event I never one before and this should be the year!!!

We travelled with quite a big group of kids towards Aruba. 

The first day was already nice - there was not so much wind in begin of the day but at 15.30 it started to pick up. S we could finaly start racing. We sailed at the end 3 heats today.

I'm in the heat with women and sport men.

In total 11 windsurfers, sport and women.

I surfed a 2-2-5 overall today and at the women a 1-1-2. It's earlie to say but is it finaly going to happen that I can be on the highst part of the podium this year.....?

Just hope it will go bit better with my body, I feel weak/ shaky and lots of pain in my back. Hopefully it will go away. Now we have dinner sposored by the event and after we go to the movies. Programm is very nice this year.

Day2- .....after the races we had dinner and party time at the Sail works catemaran. Very nice evening and lots of fun with the people from Venezuela.

Day 3-

Big thanks to Don Andres who sponsored all the windsurfers of Bonaire by bringing there gear to Aruba. :-)

KITE RIDE BONAIRE

Downwinder Atlantis beach- Klein Bonaire/ Spice

Still waiting for some good pinctures of the downwinder but I can say that it was the best Downwinder I ever did with about 70 kiters, 10 windsurfers and 20 sailingboats.
The start was at 12.00 and after all the kiters left it was our turn the windsurfers. Even I can kite I decided to go with my windsurf equipment and like many times again on my favorite set 7.0 NP and 97 Isonic as the wind was about 19-20 knots and a bit more from the South then normal. 
All does collours on the water was a great view.
It was already great but when some dolphins started to play around me and the other people on the water I was just jumping on my board.
It was great to see them jumping besides me, under the boards and follow me everywhere around.
After I while they left me and I continued to Klein Bonaire (No Name Beach) and from there to Eden Beach/ Spice where we had some good party on the beacn and time to chat with (new) friends.
It was no competion, it was just a great event to show the people the watersports we have here on the island and to be together at the same time at the same place on the water.
It was a great event and hopefully next ear again. 

Next will be Aruba Hi winds!
