Windsurfing

 I have tried windsurfing 10 months ago, on Canar Islands, now I used the trip to Malta to revisit that hobby and improve my abilities. 

I spend 3 mornings on the sea practicing. I was the only windsurfer there, unless you count my trainer. It was great fun. 

I further trained in what I learned last year - both turns, and was taught how to do something entirely new - a beach start. This was extremely hard and took me forever to get it right the first time. After I also had to struggle to make the start, but once I did succeed, I felt amazing.

 Today I had my last windsurfing lesson for now, as we are coming back to Poland the day after tomorrow. I have really enjoyed it and found it a nice change from the long time spend at home due to lockdown. 

After the first lesson I have left the area close to the beach with my trainer. I have felt more free than I did in a long time and I loved the wind in my (braided) hair and the water flowing through my feet. 

I have managed to learn a harder version of the front turn, although an attempt to do that still ends up with me falling into the water. But the water is so nice and warm that it is far from being scary. 

I hope to further pursue this new passion of mine during the summer holidays.

Windsurfing!

 As I have written in the previous post this week I am spending on an Island. I have decided to spend this time learning how to windsurf. 

My trainer is from Italy (although Fuerteventura lies in Spain) and he is teaching me in English. The first question he asked was how much experience I have. I said that I have had just one lesson before but I loved it and am eager to learn more. He was surprised and a little worried as the wind was strong today, but begun to teach me. 

At the lesson I got to practising both turns - one where you move in front of the mast and the other when you move behind it. I immediately got the ring of it and although we haven't left the beach I had so much fun!

I have some experience with wind so I did not find that part hard at all. I am also very proud to say I have fallen only a few times, which I think is amazing for a beginner I am. 

After the lesson my trainer asked whether I really had just one windsurfing lesson before.

I am extremely excited to come back tomorrow!!!
