Just what the doctor ordered.

I’ve been feeling ‘off’ for a few days and decided I needed to shift my energy. Strangely windsurfing didn’t do the trick, so I decided to just sit and take a moment and watch the world go by. I swear Kanaha never fails to amuse, with its cast of usual suspects and odd ball extras. The good news, I left feeling ‘normal’, what ever that means!

Mr. Kanaha.

Nothing like giving your leather hat the treatment it deserves, a nice salty bath.


I think pre-lesson waiver should simply read "I agree to be humbled, lose my dignity and look like a total nitwit all in the name of sport".

"now on the count of three, everybody turn around.....ready...... one, two, three"



Running up wind for another inflatable tire down winder.....


And finally, this cutey reminds me of me. Pale, freckle faced, double water winged (safety first)and topless.

Great post. I immediately stole Michael's photo...

I take it the group in the water were 'new arrivals' - crikey get a tan peoples!!!!!!!!!

Love that Superfreak in the first photo, seem to remember seeing that one a lot...

....and the reason you are feeling down is because we are no longer there, we will all get straight back on a plane and come back to comfort you

Cammar: Well as imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, you're welcome :-)

Lano: Yup-they were a bunch of cruise boat whiteies.

Michael has a strict morning regiment of a minimum of 2-3 hours on the water dedicated to jibing. He’s a bloody machine....

Correct again, now book your tickets and lets meet at Kanaha for some come proper "there-there, everything will be all right"!

Sharon, if there's one thing that Michael doesn't do it's jibing... since he's a devoted freestyler and instead of jibing he does all kinds of sliding tricks and transitions...
Next time I'll explain you the difference between a jibe and a flaka or a spock... oh jesus!

BTW, the first time I didn't appreciate enough this line:

I think pre-lesson waiver should simply read "I agree to be humbled, lose my dignity and look like a total nitwit all in the name of sport".

Brilliant! I wish there really was a line like that on thw waiver...

I love the last four pictures but where did the extra white man come from? The children are totally delightful - don't tell me you still run around topless!! I thought you might have grown out of that habit. Sometimes it's a good job that mother and daughter are separated by a few thousand miles :-(

Mater: That extra white man, is actually a woman.....so my guess is she was she was busy doing some 'snorkling'.

Now whatever can you mean by snorkelling (is that a euphemism for doing naughties?) but, oh my word, she sounds like she hit the jackpot - lucky lady
