Surf Ever, Work Never

Surf Ever, Work Never
I don’t know, for me it would be deadly boring to spend the whole holiday just lying on the beach baking myself to the point when people start thinking I am one of the locals. So we did not. As a matter of fact we were involved in many water and beach sports :) And I spent hours and hours windsurfing, which is my favorite activity when we go on the beach holiday for the last three years, but actually only this time I could master it a bit and take it to the next level (well, it’s more of a personal achievement and I am nowhere near pros or advanced surfers). And staying for two weeks helped a lot.

I must say, when I do something, I am quite passionate about it, till the point when it’s kind of childish. So the first week I was literally wearing myself out on the water, and the palms of my hands were a total mess, so I had to plaster all my fingers to be able to hold the beam. But I just couldn’t get enough :) The wind was a bit of let down for a few days (unlike the time when we were in Dahab, Egypt, when it was blowing non-stop literally days and nights), but we had good couple of last days when it was probably the strongest and I could test my acquired skills and fly with the wind with the fastest speed I could handle (well, and hurt myself a bit as well :) But hey, no pain no gain.

Wake-boarding was another attraction I enjoyed a lot. Couple of years ago we tried water skis and it was fun, so this time I moved on to the board, which I believe is even more fun :)

Man, now I think about that holiday, I start missing it … a lot :) But then again, no way I would be able to live up to the title of this post, so I will leave it to occasional breaks away from the usual life routine.
