Windy.......noooot!!!

Second consecutive day without wind today, too many for this period here in Rhodes! But there are many things to do,especially if you are for holidays here, like visit old town in Rhodes or Lindos,go for wakeboard,ski and other water sports or you can go to a beach bar for mojitos!!!!!
Me and my friends though,didn't do any of those!!! We stayed at the beach in Kremasti and after swimming we went for beers to the cantine next to the kite station!

Relax day @ Kremasti beach!

The wind forecast it was correct for today,after many days of good wind,so it was a good day for relax because the wind it was wery light! Only who was less than 50 kilos could do kitesurf!!! As my friend Dora did who is 47 kilos!!!

In the picture Dora is getting ready for her session!

 Everyone had enjoyed kitesurfing today at Kremasti beach!!!The wind was good,about 16-19 knots, so me and my friends went in the water with 9 or 10m. I should take my waterproof mp3 player, because would be very nice today kitesurfing with music!!!
As i checked at windgurru and poseidon there is no strong wind (meltemi) tomorrow! Those days if the wind is enough we are going for downwind or we stay at the Kite Center and do the things that i wrote in the post "waiting the wind to come" or anything else that comes in our minds!!!

Kremasti Beach!

The good thing here in Kremasti beach is that even if the wind prediction (as today) is for 9-10 knots,you can relax at the beach with a cold beer or another beverage and after the15-16:00  the wind speed is getting  stronger enough to go for kitesurfing and try new tricks!
In this picture my friend Georgi , instructor at the Kite Pro Center in Kremasti (http://www.kiteprocenter.gr) , today when is going for his session!

Downwind!!!

     Today when we went down to the beach of Kremasti with my friends we deside to go for a downwind! First we find a driver (someone to bring the car back!) ,because the spot that we are going is about 4 km far from the kitesurf center  and then we put the equipment  in the car and go....

Today when i went to the beach,at about 14:00 there wasn't so strong wind (11-13 knots),but the water was flat and it was good for freestyle training.

Marios:"The wind wasn't so strong but it was cool,i'll rest for a while and i'll go for the second  session"     









 Stergos:"if you do not see clearly the mountains of Turkey the wind is not strong!"





 Giannis and Ntinos were tired today and they relaxed with beer!!!
