The Mini Kitesurf tour Europe in Castelldefels

The last day before Michael went back to Sweden we were lucky enough to get some wind. AND the Mini kitesurf tour came to town!

image
Waaah… Michael and me got up the day after a night out, dragged ourselves and the gear down the street and to a café to get some breakfast. Because the whimsical weather gods of Barcelona finally decided to deliver, and on top of it the Mini kitesurf tour was coming!

image
Quite a lot of people there that day. I managed to meet up with Joan and David from Madrid as well, but didn’t catch them on film :-)

image
I went out on my 8m first as the wind was super gusty, not a very good idea.

image
Look at those hills in the background. There you have it. That’s why the wind is so gusty when it is blowing straight easterly in this spot.

image
Some really nice colors in this shot. Michaels camera is simply fantastic!

image
Last try on the 8 before giving in and pumping up the 12

image
I really like the angle of this shot.

image
The wind actually went down quite a bit and it was just enough for some lazy riding on the 12.

 

image
Can’t complain about the weather that day, it was just great!

image
Kite parked, and sun going down…
image
Michael was too lazy and had a cold that day, so in the end it was just me riding. Nevertheless I can’t thank enough for the wonderful shots! I need to get that camera too!

In the evening we went to the probably best Asian restaurant I ever tried in Barcelona. Not a bad wrap-up of the day.
