More photos of the new board

As promised here are more photos of my new board:

It's a 2008 RRD Frestyle-Wave 100l Limited Edition board. Now I'm just waiting for the wind to come...Let's see if I'll manage to do a push loop.

Guincho, new board!

Yeah! I have a new board!

We went to Guincho, Portugal, with the idea of checking some windsurf boards. I found what I wanted. Yes!

The wind was playing tricks. When we arrived the sand was blowing and there were some 8 windsurfers. Then we went to Guincho Wind Factory to check a board that was there waiting for me.

The time we took to just go there, have a look at the board (and a new mast) and pack everything, was not that much (one hour and a half at most). I was still thinking that I was going to make some nice photos and vides...

When we arrived we were dismayed! The wind was completely gone. No one, aside for surfers that use only second hand wind energy (don't take offence, I'm just kidding).

I'll share some more photos of my new board soon... Here is a appetizer:

Óbidos Medieval Fair

A cousin invited us to join her, her sister and her mother at the Óbidos Medieval Fair and we promptly agreed to go - there were no plan for the weekend and it sounded like fun.

We took advantage to travel a bit on the West coast of Portugal. Beautiful landscape and wonderful places to go camping.

When we arrived and rested a bit we started to try out some medieval costumes.

My wife and my cousins try out some costumes. Me and my wife, as medieval princess and squire.

Eventually we got to Óbidos centre (the old part of the village) and enjoy the medieval fair.
