BRAZIL

Finally the time has come!!!
Amanda, Derek, Gavin and I are off to hot, sunny and windy Brazil :)
Meeting up with Julie, Nailer, Dave and James in Paracuru.
After few days we all are moving further North to Ilha do Guajiru and meeting up with another two - Caroline and Ben.
Then off to our final spot - Jeri/Prea.
That's the plan.
Yeeeehaaaaa

And I'm not getting back on the plane until I can unhook! :)

No Luck

Leaving on Wednesday super early morning.
Should have everything ready, but no... no luck for Kasia!
New footstraps ordered weeks ago still haven't arrived which leaves me with my board as good as no board for our kite holiday in Brazil.
Now I need to spend Tyrella weekend trying to fix something so I can smile again and stop myself from getting a heart attack from all that last minute panic!
As always Catherine from Pure Magic (http://www.puremagic.ie/) is more than helpfull so we should be able to either find just straps that will fit right with pads I already have or find the whole new set fitting my board.
By no way I will be able to make to Tyrella on time for heats on Saturday morning... And there is no way I'm leaving this not sorted and in hope somebody will bring up something that will suit!
I just wish my car wasn't broken so I could go around and do everything I need to do, but my old red granny got very tired 2 months ago and is retired since... And to top everything up Gavin is suffering from an ear infection and is on antibiotics, nasty thing to get just before a long flight and kitesurfing holiday...

I really need a break, I so deserved it!!!
