Session 2, Menaville Hotel, Safaga (well just outside)

Wind - ummm about 12 to 18 knots.
Kite 10m Ozone C4
Board - lush and loving the pads and bindings on chop.
Time on water about 3 hours.

Ok so will be honest, I am not the best kiter in the world, and I have never flown in deep water in an offshore so today was a little daunting to me! Especially allowing for the fact that I had about 10m to get up on my board and upwind asap or i would plant myself into a pile of rocks! Or I had to boddy drag out about 20m with my board and get up and going there. Opted for the later for the first few runs, silly becky should have stuck with what she is best at, next tme came along and decided to try and walk out as far as I could and cut my bloody toe open on some rock / coral (who knows)! Ah well more scars for the record. So yet again myself and a very large roll of duct tape bonded aong with a large bottle of iodine! HA HA me and eygpt huh!

Anyway, I really enjoyed this session just going right across the lagoon and a good speed with my screaming at myself......"kite low and edge like a motherfucker" (thanks Matt). My stomach muscles are killing from the pull of the harness, seems todays wind really loved my 10m or vice versa and I had a great time today. I furthered my experience more than anything, learning to slow down if needed and gain speed to get over the bigger chop and to always fall backwards (seems to hurt less) as I dont loose my bloody board! YAY! Cannot loose that board!

The resort itself is not for me, too many overweight sunbathers almost turning to a timer like chickens on a rotisserie!! However, the club there are really friendly and helpful and have a great stock of kit if you are short of a bigger kite etc. Much more so than yesterday. I hope we get to go back as I really enjoyed the session.

The food is also good, massive chicken baguette with chips and a basic salad for about 4 euros and they serve the local beer which I have grown to love since coming here too often!!

Tomorrow holds El Gouna for me, so an early start to get the best of the wind. Yay. Time for some yoga, in my room not being pretentious just yet! HA HA.
