Some Good Shots Today

SOME COOL PICS OF US TAKEN TODAY.

Some short Video

I went down quickly the other day when I got back from school. It was a dying wind and it was a bit difficult to do anything much. So they are quite boring! Oh well better than nothing.

Yacht Racing

Hi Guys! We haven't been writing much in this blog this winter - mainly because we have had such a bad time with the wind. Basically not much or gale force! But I, John, have been down a couple of times in the past week. The last time was in Ghallis which was really great. Massive swell (for Malta anyway, but it was BIG) and I got some really good high jumps on the point. I used my Fanatic wave board and my favourite sail which is the Tushingham Rock 4.2m. I just LOVE that sail. Had some good wave rides too. If only we could get more of those conditions - I just love it in the waves.

I have been doing some yacht racing too and I am hoping that I will become a full member of the team on the J109 'Artie' belonging to Lee Satariano. I did one race on it a couple of weeks ago and we won and this last weekend we had a weekend of racing in Gozo. On Saturday we raced from the harbour to Gozo, on Sunday we raced round Comino and yesterday we raced back down to the harbour in Malta. It was great fun and the wind was pretty good too. You can see me in the shot above - I am at the front leaning out of the boat.

That's all for now. Hopefully we will have some more stuff soon to show you on the blog.

Stormy Thursday

This is a really short video and not very good but it shows all

the mush and strong current we had during the storm on Thursday.

I also managed a few vulcans and tried some geckos just for fun.

Try doing a gecko in a force 8-9! It's cool!

Just a small sequence shot of the Gecko............cool move for light wind

Manwel Kiting

This is a short clip of Manwel kiting a few weeks back.

No Wind

There's been no wind - so nothing to report. Forecast looking good for next week so maybe will get some surf time and also some new pics.

Meaning: You sail just a short time but you give it all you got!
