What a disaster of a day on Saturday. Went out to sail the Sandbar, got rinsed by a wave to discover my UJ had ripped my board and rig apart. Then proceeded to lose all the kit. Luckily Karel came out to help tow me in and we swam the last bit to land. Hoping some of my stuff may turn up. The kit lost was my 2006 JP Australia 93 liter freestyle/wave board, 4.75m Aerotech Charge, 2008 Hawaiian Proline boom (160-210), Powerex Z-Wave 400 mast and extension. If anyone finds it, please let me know.

Thanks to all who helped come out and look for me (Karel, Bruno, Chris, Walter (Red Sail Sports), Suzie, Jerome (C.I. Helicopters), RCIP and 911.

What an amazing weekend! On Saturday morning the wind was blowing a good 22-25 knots from the NE and we opted to launch from Starfish Point and sail the Sandbar. It turned out to be the right idea, as late morning the swell really started to come in and there were head high waves coming in at the Sandbar. Perfect for jumping and backloops! The waves were so good there were even some surfers out there. This goes down as probably one of the best sessions ever!

My first New Years resolution is update this website more often and to get all the Maui pics up from our trip last year. But my main resolution is to crack the forward loop!

After a 3 week vacation away (2 weeks in Cape Town and 1 week in England) it is good to be back in the clear blue waters of Cayman. This weekend is looking excellent starting this afternoon. Tomorrow will be 25 knots NE all day according to the forecast – Sandbar here we come!!!

We had a great week-end, surfing the waves at the Sand Bar. Launch spot was Star Fish Point. The wind was ballistic. 4.2 sails were ideal. Of course, such great conditions do need some human sacrifice. This time it was Chris who left the island to spend a week-end in Miami

It looks like hurricane season is not quite over yet! Tropical storm Paloma has just formed here in the Caribbean and has got Grand Cayman in its sights. It is currently set to become a hurricane by the time it gets to us. Expecting some crazy wind and surf over the weekend. Will be on stand-by with boards and kit. Hopefully a Seven Mile Beach session is on the cards!
