Gwada trip part 3 – some random stuff

Friday, December 24th, 2010

Forecast = no wind, so we went surfing instead.

And here’s a further report on Guadeloupe. After our first windy day in Le Gosier, the rest of the  itinerary was adapted to  catch the waves in the most beautiful spots. And those we did find…  Here are some tidbits! 

Dec 11 was Will Bennet’s birthday. We celebrated in style, on anchor in St Francois.
Petite Terre iguana. They are everywhere and no, they do not bite (we think).
Petite Terre. Marine park, not a kitespot for this reason, but surfing is fine…

Matt Sexton rippin' it at Le Gosier, Guadeloupe

Well. Will Bennet and Celine Collaud left for the airport, Matt Sexton is still here until tomorrow… and we are having beers to celebrate the success! We are glad to report that it went very well. We feel privileged to have had Will, Celine and Matt onboard as our very first guests. The wind didn’t play ball unfortunately… we had one good day. Not a surprise as it is pre-season but we were hoping for better. Obviously according to Windguru the wind IS back tomorrow… figures. We will stick around to check it out so stay tuned.

Sooo what did happen? Well lots of surfing (yes! proper surfing) was done, plus we wakeboarded, fished (an eyeball, amongst various….) and just generally hung out and had a very good time. Guadeloupe is gorgeous -with or without wind. The waveriding potential is enormous. Love this place!

Stoked for the Guadeloupe trip

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

Alright, a quick update: we got here yesterday after a 24-hour sail from St Lucia through pretty rough seas and big waves (if only we’d been able to kite hehe…). Now we’ve been busy preparing everything… Tonight our first guest Matt Sexton is due to join us, and tomorrow the rest of the crew, featuring UK wavemaster Will Bennet and top kitechick Celine Collaud on behalf of Kitesurf Magazine. Really looking forward to getting this going! The forecast is looking pretty good and we are totally ready… Stay tuned for more updates and pictures.
