summer time

after a chilly (by egyptoid standards) winter summer time has definatly arrived in egypt with the tempriture being easly 35+ on the windless days. phew! just as well this is egypt and for the summer the wind blows more consistantly and more often. meaning windsurfing in just the shots.

13/5/09 some vid clips and update.

hi
just working on a new vid at the moment.
i have been playing about with my kit lots recently, really tweeking the set up to push for some new moves. its helping . i seem to be going faster then before because of it allowing me to land some more tricks.

i have a link with some clips of some windsurfing of me.

this is a clip of a switch chachoo. (switch stance spock 540 were the intro jump combines a sail duck as the tail of the board pases through the wind) watch it and you will see.

unfourtunatly i havt been online much recently, however, still been quite busy on the water. the weather has been good in i have had a lot of time to practice my moves. evrything is starting to look a lot smother which is good. :) i have also been to the wave beach recently and was a nice change to the flat water. was a good day for doing some nice jumps. got to get back up there again soon. i have put together a short movie and hopefully it should bee upladed soon

So its almost christmas and for me santa has comea few days early....i have recently cracked my flat water shakas ( shov-it in to a flaka = shaka = very cool = happy phil) and my ponches are getting very close, so now im feeling very pleasd with myself. unfourtunatly we have had 5 days of light wind but the forecast for christmas eve onwards should be good all week. (hope i can still remember to windsurf) it should be a very merry christmas..... i have never been abroard during christmas and its a little surreal but at least i get to spend the day on the water.
video needs updating with a few of the new moves and should be online in the new year.

happy christmas everyone
