Perth 11/08/2007 : Is the winter over ? It’s time for reflexion !
It has been raining for nearly 3 weeks in a row, I scored some really good sessions including one in 5,3 port-tack waveriding in dutchies with head high clean waves, one overpowered on a 3,7 in crazy conditions at long point and a “perfect” session powered up on my 4,1 in logo high clean waves in Gearies, jumping high, surfing hard and finishing 2 times in the rocks
So now what ?
Winter seems to take a break, forecast for next week is a mid season forecast : light south and easterly winds, surf will be good…
Probably some more cold fronts will visit us, but not as strong and not as consistant as the ones that hit us recently, then the swell will drop, september is coming fast, for a windsurfer Perth is not the best place to be in september… Then wind will start in Gnaraloo, start in Gero, start in Perth and start in Margs, and we’ll be in summer !
Time’s flying, i’ve got to organize myself for the next season,
what i want is : Score as much wind as possible, Compete as much as I can and win, Train in both port and starboard tack jumping, score big waves and improve in bump and jump conditions
What i’ve got is : A visa that expires in november, not that much money but a brain still in good condition, a girlfriend, sponsors, knowledge of the world forecast, perseverance and self motivation
So what i need to do is : work as hard as I can without missing too many sessions, apply for a visa extension, and keep an eye on the airfares and aus$ value, and again, keep working !
