So, the last 6 weeks has been a bit of a blurrr!

Let's start with where we've ended up and i'll tell you a little of how we got here later.

Klitmoeller, Denmark

Right now we're in the middle of the PWA wave round 3 in Klitmoeller, Denmark.  So far we've had a morning of wind before registration opened, which was good fun practise, some head high waves with cross onshore 5.3, planing around from time to time, unfortunately the wind didn't hold.

The wind has so far threatened to come back on a couple of occasions, Last years winner Thomas Traversa, Gaastra & Tabou team mate was straight out at the sign of anything and he made it look pretty good, this was super light, side offshore and some fun little waves around. It was enough to get the judging crew excited and they pushed on with the trials and into the first round of the mens single elimination.  They only made it as far as the first 3 heats i think before the wind completely disappeared again, there was enough time for a couple of shocks though, with big names falling in what had to be said were pretty marginal conditions at times..

Fortunately for me i'm down in heat 8 so i didn't get pulled out in those conditions, the lighter guys definitely have an advantage when it's a wobbly 10 knots in the line up!  And yes, guess who i drew? Fellow Brit Ben Proffitt, ah well, at least one of us gets to go against Koester in the next round!

For now it's the old waiting game, i'm pretty much prepped and ready to go, all the gears on the beach, just need some action to go and get!

He's the bloke in the suit!

Working back in time now to the beginning of the week, The Crown Prince of Denmark popped down for a windsurfing lesson on the lake and a spin on the jetski as we all went out windsurfing in the waves, it's pretty cool to have someone like that show such a keen interest in the sport and the event in particular.  He came into the tent for a chat with a few of the sailors which was good, dishing out a few tips on our rigging and fin setups etc.. ;)
Now we're waiting for conditions JC has been out shooting the local area and the results are pretty spectacular!!  He can take some good shots that boy..
Boaty's....
Talking of boats, we caught our overnight North Sea boat to Denmark, beautiful weather and a super calm crossing, even Keira behaved herself, sleeping almost the whole journey.. awesome to be in Cold Hawaii with the family, just need some wind now to go shred!!

Now this is the point where most of you windsurfers can tune out and go look at wind guru or something, this is where the last month has gone!

I've pretty much spent the last 5 weeks solid ploughing my way through working on a house refurb in Bangor, it started life as a bit of a drug den, with used needles, foil and other nastiness everywhere it was a bit of a ruin.. full refurb, re-wire, new kitchen, bathrooms the works..  As a man with a plan to turn it round into a student house i threw myself into that with a deadline of before Cold Hawaii! 5 weeks was tight and it meant super long days on site, with not too much sleep at night because of the little one and absolutely no windsurfing!..

Fortunately everything came together and with a team effort at the end we got it done!

The one regret i have is that i only got to see my daughter Keira for about 30 minutes in the morning each day, and then i would be home in time for the 10pm feed at night and i could bottle feed her expressed milk, i really missed out on the first bit which was tough..

It's now a massive relief to be here in Cold Hawaii and i can really kick back and enjoy things now, it's been pretty special to hang out with Maike and Keira most of the time and then go windsurfing and paddle boarding when then conditions have switched on..

Keira @ week 1

Keira @ week 6

She's growing so fast!!!

Now it's time for the wind to come back please!! let's get this show on the road and get some windsurfing done!

There's a chance for the end of the week!  fingers crossed..
