24th of july 2010 Playa des ingles - familyday

Day 3 GC: Starting up here with no wind at Bahia Feliz. Not even far out a little breeze in the sea where we could normally see the gusts.



We left for a little drive with the family and went to a very touristic place, Playa Des Ingles.




Parked the car in front of the bar Hooters where they have the coldest beer in town ;o). Over there were nice small waves for bodyboarding and surfing. Got tanned and got out for a swim with the kids.










Robin had his piece of fun too! ;o)




Later on the day a refreshning pooldive at the apartment with the kids.


The wind seemed to be okay at Pozo for a 5.0m2. Maybe tomorrow there is time to windsurf

2nd day @POZO - ACTION on the water- 23th of july 2010

Day 2: 23th of july 2010- Location Bahia feliz- the place were we stayed was called monte feliz.

Carlos told us there is always a little breeze 2-4 beaufort here in Bahia feliz, meaning a 6-7 beaufort at Pozo. 7km further down the road.



Unbelievable so windy there


Well today it was quite windy here at Bahia Feliz which could mean heavy winds at pozo. Me and Robin went off to Pozo.

Yes, the first possible day to windsurf at the spot, it was good for rigging the 4.0 m2. which has been 9 months brandnew still in the sack!!! The windconditions at Holland sucks so hard this year. Robin was even able to go 3.7m2 (North Zeta) but as that sail is from the stone age, he went choose his newer NP combat 4.2m2.
As Robin going out here for the first time @ pozo with his 4.2m2

Robin was sailing overpowered and very powerd up, for me the P7 sado 4.0 m2 was a perfect size and combo with the SOS rocket68.

I made a few shots from Robin in action as you can see here below.















Robin unfortunately didn’t know yet how to handle my photocamera, resulting in the pictures below.
with a lot of editing, a few pictures were a bit visable enough to watch.

I did had a few high Jumps and tweaky tabletops, unfortunately these were all missed out on cam.


I’ll have to give Robin a few camera lessons before were going to rip a next day at Pozo :-P.



One of the greatest things id like so much here, was surfing in my swim/surfshorts and lycra. Thats been ages ago.(2006@ Fuerteventura)

Aslike the day before, we ended the day laying at the pool with the kids.

Holidaytime with family and friends @ The Canary Islands – Gran Canaria

The 21th of july, we left one day earlier towards Belgium – Brussel, stayed overnight at Hotel Balladins, which is located next to the airport. So the kids would get enough sleep before departure in the early morning. Earlier this day my mate Robin’s car broke down on his way to my house. Unexpected I had to pick him up last minute in Haarlem, and borrow out my wife's car for the trip to Belgium ;o)


The kids were excited to go on the airplane. The flight went well. For my daughter and Robin’s son Jente, it was the first plane flight ever.


Finally arrived in Gran Canaria Las Palmas, Carlos from cutre, the Pozo team was waiting at the airport with our rides VW polo’s.

We did a quick vieuw at Pozo izquerdo.

Me and my wife.


Look there Jadé where the action is!!


'Mama look there is the action!!!'
