Young instructors let loose!

Monday, July 5th, 2010

Hello,

And welcome to our blog! We are blogging about our summer windsurf trip to Dakhla, Western Sahara. We’ve been planning this trip for months, now we are ready to explode. We’ve spent the last few weeks rattling through our bank accounts on silly things like wedding marquees and stupid, rubbish things like Starboard Flares. Bray Lake have kitted us up to the max with shiny new gear, thanks to James and Simon. Jack has packed four items of clothing and forgot 25% of them, meaning a Uturn 2mins into the journey, thanks to a phone call from Jack’s Mummy.

We are currently on the ferry from Portsmouth to Santander and despite Frank Lampard’s best efforts to ruin our crossing, its been amusing. Tom’s stuff including this computer is covered in hippie vomit and he has not stopped winging since we left Berkshire.

We are looking forward to getting on the road. We are planning to make it to Tarifa by tonight and get across to Morocco tomorrow.

Thanks for reading, Keep it real!

Dahab – Seems a long time ago!

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Sometime my job has its bonus’s and some work for Neilson at their Dahab resort in the middle of winter is definitely a bonus.

So at the beginning of March it was off to Egypt for two weeks work, honest. Simple job really run at Intermediate Instructor Course and a couple of Start Instructor course moderations and in between go windsurfing, simple really.

Neilsons centre in Dahab is a fantastic venue for windsurfers of all levels especially at this time of year, as you tend to get a good mix of condition to suit everyone.

With stacks of Starboards and Tushingham sails to choose from all you need is the right wind.

So after a successful Intermediate Instructor course with some great conditions and a successful out come for every one all I have to do is wait for the next bit of work and in between if I’m lucky get a sail in. Unfortunately this is were its starts to go wrong it is now my second day off and still no wind, I guess that’s how its goes. As ever though and windsurfers being the optimistic bunch that we are the forecast looks like improving in the next few days, so fingers crossed.
