Today it blew hard, 27 knots which is sort of the maximum you could get here. We were overpowered on our 10sqm which led to some nice jumps (and crashes).
The left arm hurts badly but Yenal's worse, he cannot even hold a spoon with his right hand. Need to strengthen those muscles before the next trip, with more aggressive jumps and landings, it's becoming difficult to kite more than one hour andRead more

Just a bad idea. Those 2 beers with Yenal's cousin were a mistake.. then again with no wind at all it was an easy one to make.
Still, that was the last time.
Turkey
It's the perfect place to stay. The perfect relaxation moment. Nothing beats a good cold beer on the balcony.
Every morning I prepare lunch for the day, pure joy to use those fresh and tasty ingredients.

Not much to say, it's the usual Akyaka routine with Yenal. Wake up, eat, kite, beer, work a bit, beer, poker, dinner, whisky, sleep.
Yenal likes his fish so we went to his favorite restaurant on the first evening.
That's all for today folks.

I know! I haven't even finished the previous blog from Cabarete.. but this trip started so interestingly I could not stay quiet.
What time do you wake up to catch a plane at 6:20? Some say 3:45, some say 4:00. But I say 5:10 and.... shit I am so fucked!!!
5 minutes to get dressed, passport, lenses and finish packing then run in front of the Sheraton to get a cab. No cab!! I am sooo fucked!!

Monday night, dull right?
Wrong!
It's Karaoke night at VoyVoy! The place with no more than 3 customers any other day of the week is suddenly packed.
A few brave (drunk?) souls and also some talents; hard to tell, sound is horrible anyway.
Bottom line, it is not because it's Monday that.... not sure what I wanted to say.... cheers!

The first few kiting days were crazy. While we expected 15-20 knots at most, we got 5 days of 25-30 knots from 1 to 6 pm. I think we got quite lucky!
It is the first time I was fully depowered on my 10 meters kite and still could easily jump above 5 meters.
The local champion (part of the Olympics team) was showing off with 12-15 meter jumps - it was very impressive to see it live.

Sometimes things feel right from the beginning. This is one of those times. Great appartment, nice resort, beautiful view, sandy beach (oh really?), fresh fruits and coffee for breakfast - this is how life should be!
10 minutes walk separate us from breakfast, exactly the right amount to wake up and get really hungry.
Dominican RepublicWell the place is amazing, even though quite cloudy, you could tell as soon as the sun will show up it will be paradise.
