Well, 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.

Winter bora, sunny day, and only the brave of heart...
02.01.2012! I think I was never windsurfing so early...
Last four days - bora at its worst...
Speedsurfing in 20 cm water can be interesting (catapult video inside)...
Nice maestral, and close encounter with fire plains!
