The Mysterious Korean Gunmen
Friday, August 25th, 2006Ok so we’ve had a few windless days in South Korea now! So I decided to go for a run last night to keep up the fitness levels. Our hotel is right on the beach front but separated from the sand by 40-50m of thick forest which is heavily fenced off. So to make it [...]
Snowing in Summer
Friday, August 11th, 2006On the first day, and in the first race of the Euro-Cup event in Silvaplana, Switzerland, I crashed on the startline with Arnon Dagan (ISR-1). Not really anybody’s fault, but when I hit the water I felt my neck “click”. Not a broken-bone click, but a “this doesn’t sound too good” kind of click. So [...]

Sunday, July 30th, 2006I arrived on the sunny island of Fuerteventura late on a Monday afternoon. “Fuerte” is one of the more popular of the Spanish Canary Islands, just a stone’s throw away from Gran Canaria, Teneriffe and Lanzarote. Having never been here before I only knew Fuerte by the photos on the PWA websites, the long stretches [...]

Its been a little annoying having so much gear strewn through the van [...]
FW European Championships, Portugal
Wednesday, April 26th, 2006Just arrived back in Holland from Portugal where the 2006 European Championships for Formula Windsurfing were held. Portugal was a paradise, with plenty of atmosphere at the beach and of course the nightlife. Unfortunately, most of the action was off the water as we struggled to get enough wind to have a decent event. Three [...]
My new home in the Netherlands
Saturday, April 15th, 2006Ok, so I’ve arrived in the Netherlands last week after my brutal 22 hour flight from Australia. Bit of a change to the weather back home - its currently 8 degrees after being baked around 32 degrees for the last few months of the Australian summer.
I’ve finally settled into my new home in Groningen, which [...]
