Fuerteventura





Fuerteventura





After Lanzarote we went to Fuerteventura.  The first two days were very light and offshore but I managed to get some good hours on the water,  training some new moves on my 12 m 666 Nobile which I am loving.  The kite is so stable that I never have to worry about where it is.



I am now feeling much more confident landing my moves blind, after sailing in perfect glass flat water.  So hopefully now this will be something that I can pull off during the competitions.



The wind picked up a lot on the third day, with the wind being strong enough to use my 7m.  This meant that the water state changed becoming choppier and a little more challenging. However I feel that since being here and in Lanzarote I have improved a lot.  So I am feeling very encouraged. 


For those who are not familiar with Fuerteventura the landscape is dramatic with dry desert land and crystal clear turquoise waters.  It is unlike any other place I have ever been.  I recommend it to all.  

Tomorrow evening I will be heading back to Lanzarote for a couple more days training there.
