Riding on a Flooded Field

Image
Thomas and Gabriel, two fellow windsurfers from Rostock, convinced me to go windsurfing today. I wasn't really motivated as I wanted to study after yesterday's session. Forecast was for about 16 knots pretty much directly from the north. We headed to Roggow, a spot at the Salzhaff, which is a Baltic Sea inlet. Already on the way to the spot, we noticed that many fields were flooded and that this provided perfect flat water. In the beginning we were only joking about sailing on a puddle just in front of Ikea. But when we finally arrived at the spot, we actually noticed that the whole field behind the beach was completely flooded. Unlike the main spot, this patch of water offered perfectly flat conditions. After testing out the depth of the water, we finally gave it a shot. Unfortunately, the wind was not very strong and quite gusty, too. The 4.6 Sailloft Quad proved to be the right choice as it gives you loads of power, even in the lulls. Luckily, the farmer didn't show up.

Every person who follows a certain goal knows that doing things to achieve that goal on a regular basis brings progress and finally success.  With windsurfing it can be quite hard to stay focused and motivated because in order to practise you need wind and the right temperatures. You need the right spot for the right wind direction and conditions are always different, which makes it a very challenging yet amazingly rewarding sport.  So today was one of those days where you might have wanted to skip "training". It was raining, it has already become a lot colder than before (around 14/13 degrees) and the wind was super light and gusty. We decided to sail on the river because the wind direction was south. The good thing: I could launch from where I live without taking the car.  My friend launched 4 kilometers downwind though and I wanted to go there. I was thinking about taking the foil and then swap to the fin once there but eventually opted for the fin. When I arrived at the s

Volar

Pajarito colibrí, no tengas miedo de salir Hoy el mundo quiere que despiertes para ser feliz Pajarito colibrí, no tengas miedo de vivir Que la noche oscura y misteriosa baila para ti Cuando sientas que infinito el mundo se abre ante tus alas Dentro de tu pecho pierdas el aliento Pídele al cielo que te haga volar Y si sientes vértigo en el vuelo Que se enciende el fuego dentro de tu pecho Pide al universo, en tu ser entero, dulce libertad Todo va a estar bien, pajarito colibrí Ya no tengas miedo de vivir Todo va a estar bien, pajarito colibrí Tú llegaste al mundo para ser feliz Hoy los valles, bosques y montañas quieren verte ir Hoy senderos, mares y las nubes velarán por ti Si de amores andas sollozando, sin poder dormir Solo canta, quiebra la garganta, es hora de partir Cuando sientas que infinito el mundo se abre ate tus alas Dentro de tu pecho pierdas el aliento Pídele al cielo que te haga volar Y si sientes vértigo en el vuelo Que se enciende el fuego dentro de tu pecho Pide a
