Default Tarifa: pls turn down the wind !!!

Hi Guys, we've been here for 3 days and the wind has not stopped blowing less then 25k. The other days I was out on CB 7m unfortunately after a 30ft jump I inverted it and tore a big piece of the conopy. That costed me 150 eur !!! Met with Roger and Ali and today we all went to another spot where the wind was more stable (20k). I was out on CB12m and Roger on his 10m...

Water is still freezing but nice atmosphere and windy, all day all night !!!

Hope you guys are doing good. I'm back on Sat.

take care and Forza Italia !!!

I'm back in Switzerland now and left Tarifa yesterday with no wind. It was very weird to be on the beach with no wind, the day before it was 30k !!! My friend was taking a lesson with a 7m CB and short lines but looking at him trying to keep the kite stable in the air was no fun. I went out with a 7m CB but felt very lit and in extreme conditions. Overall Tarifa is an awesome place for advanced riders, for beginners can be a bit too much.

I'm back on Sat night and might see you out on Sun....
