What is soul-windsurfer doing?

Giving up control, many times, and surrendering to a force much more powerful and intelligent than her/him.
2011 180Well, another year done, and we are not younger, at least by the measure of ordinary people. But, it seems to me that the passion for windsurfing takes off years from my shoulders. Every time when I look back, it seems to me that just a year ago I was much older, more serious and responsible than in this moment.

They say that we should live in the present moment (although nobody knows exactly how long it is), and just now, right here, I feel like a twenty years old boy, very inpatient towards winter time, cold and snow, and very eager to feel the Sun again, to play with the wind and the new toys (yes, inevitably there will be new windsurfing toys in the new year).

So., it's time to recapitulate. My (soul)windsurfing year 2011. was very, very....
the island_00It seems that Karpathos, probably one of the windiest places in Europe during summer, became my traditional destination for speed and all round windsurfing ecstasy! This year I spend there couple of beautiful weeks, dancing with the wind, learning new staff, meeting new friends and enjoying in feeling of complete dedication to windsurfing!

Inside, you may find some more thoughts about that, and 5 minutes video with original music, summarizing the feeling that no words can express!
alpha man 00This video is recorded at Karpathos, Greece, well known speedsurfing spot at 18.08.2011. Two days earlier, Vladan Desnica, one of the best slalom racers from Croatia, made an alpha turn (@500) of 26,28 knots, which is, as far as we know, the spot record.

So, we decided to make a video to honor this excellent result!

Vladan is a member of CRO Soulwindsurf Team on GTC and, at the moment, the fastest GPS speedsurfer from Croatia. Video inside!
karin video 00In Karin, Croatia, a half salt, half sweet water bay, there is sometimes during summer much stronger bura wind (north east), than weather forecast predicts.

One mornng, I video recorded the session. In the background you can hear my another passion: music. It's a peace I made one morning, without any special intention - just playing around with the instruments. I know, I am not specially talented neither in windsurfing, nor in music - but who cares: I am enjoying myself, specially when I can join those two in nice video memory!

I hope you will enjoy too. :-)
