 Day 1 was no wind, so good for rest a bit…

Day 2 lot of wind, we did the single elimination but was’nt enought time to finish it.

Day 3 same hard condition (gusty wind and chopy watter), we finish the single, I was riding on my 9.5 and the on my 7.5m², I finish 3nd for the single elimination.

Then the organization decided to lonch the double, I save my 3nd place and that’s it (I loose against my good friend Antoine Auriol (www.antoineauriol.com)

Day 4, Wave master event in the south of essaouira, second wave maste for me (first one in new cal last year), 9th place for the single elimination but was’nt double so I stay on that palce, not bad.

Morroco day 1

Registration day

 We went registrate in the morning and then we chill on the “medina” (big bazar with a lot of shot where you can find everything…)

The wind was very strong and gusty (not like New Caledonia conditions) but I went on the watter for a ride…

At the end I did a big kite loop and break my batten on the kite, now it’s ok I fix it.

We went to the Bosphorus “chanel who separate the black sea and the mediteranean sea” (Istanbul).

Was very gusty, I was with my 11.5, and the staff was to do a hang time contest.
