First Class of the Season

Well the first class was a cold one, but it went off without a problem...Had a few take the long swim down past the bridge, but all in all it was a fun group. Najah, Samy and Thierry toughed it out on day 2, longer than i thought and even took one more run before retreating to the shop.. It was only 6degrees afterall.  No pics this time the cold was affecting the camera and it wouldn't come out to play. On a gross note my toe was acting up all class and giving me annoying pain, it had been hurting since Tuesday last and I thought was simply a small annoyance. But by Monday night going into Tuesday morning, I awoke at 3am to absolute blinding pain, and I decided to take the long drive to the hospital in town. After a small wait of 2 hours, I finally saw the doctor who proceeded to get another doc, who proceeded to tell me that I was about to lose my toe in another 18 hours or so if I hadn't come in..With a precise cut of her scalpel she release the pressure and the trapped PUSS. Yes PUSS was spewing across the room...lol so much the doctor stopped and got a face shield..haha. But all is better now, I'm out of the water till Monday I think...if I can last that long..lol
Till next time,
Cheers

Kiting



The wave has been so bad lately that we've been out kiting alot in this spring wind...The past few weeks has been riddled with great S winds. Corran even got out for a lesson from our friend Jules. I took a few shots of my buddy Gaby having a great sesh.  The levels for habitat should be better by mid week. But I went for an SUP run at habitat this morning with nobody out at all...I had the wave to myself for over an hour till a few people showed up. They put in a rope and still couldn't stay on the wave, I even tried to get the fom pile going for them on my SUP but it would just turn off as soon as it got going...
