Two magical weeks of Windsurf Beauties camp on Mauritius went on very fast with steady winds blowing our minds away every day and beautiful warm waters clearing our heads and bodies.
We met with the girls and our only windsurf guy Arseniy every morning at 8-30am at club Mistral for a video analysis, warming up session and a good motivation to learn new amazing things on the water. I have to say that it was not so easy to wake up that early every single day, but after 11am it got so crowded on the water that our early private sessions were the best ones ever.
We worked hard on the simulator correcting mistakes, getting a good sailing stance and trying all turns first. Then came the hard work on the water.
Our only man Arseniy came as a beginner and left the camp planning in the harness and catching many waves at little reef. Hoping to see Arseniy more often at our camps, so that we can go to One Eye next time together.
Arseniy's a very motivated and talanted kid, i'm sure he's gonna go far.
Our little windsurf beauty Dasha also came as a beginner with a little 2.6m2 sail and a 90l board but left with a few solid water starts and nicely planning on a 3.5m2 sail. Great future for the kids, so happy to see the sport moving into the right direction.
Our windsurf beauty Tanya just started windsurfing and it wasn't easy at all to learn with a big sail and in a full power strong wind. But she did amazingly well and learned a lot. With a busy schedule of surfing, kiting and sailing, Tanya with her best friends Lena and Katya couldn't come to sail with us every day but we are hoping to see them more often at our camps so that they can truly experience the freedom and joy of sailing.
Katya was sailing first time on a 150l board and a big sail. Great effort and commitment from her side and here she's sailing away.
