| No wind update! 29/10/2006, st. Gilles Croix de Vie |
|
| Same story with the wind... I didn't went surfing. I just went chilling the whole day until I got bored of that and I drove around a lil bit to see the place and it was pretty nice to get out of the competition area for a while. I thought I was gonna go to bed early but HEY it's saturday night and there was a party planned so might as well check it out... When we drove there I thought wow this is a far walk home so better stay with the group. In the beginning the party wasn't that much, but after a while it got better until it went bad again and then we went home... |

We could sleep in an hour more because the clock was put in winter time... So that meant skippers meeting at "11ish". After breakfast and the skippers meeting I went peddling again and the waves weren't that big but they were fun. When I was out on the water the wind started to blow a lil... so I got of the water and changed into my boardshort and t-shirt. Of course the wind dropped again and I didn't wanna get wet any more. It was a pretty crowded with people. We even got asked to put some autographs on some posters... A while after lunch a couple of us where still hungry and went to Micky D to have a big mac and a milkshake... I think for now I'll go to bed early but you'll never know how the nigh will end... |

| KPWT France update 28/10/2006, St. Gilles Croix de Vie |

| Well... Skippers meeting was on at 8:30 like planned... I ended up being on in the first heat of the man. Good thing they do the women first.. so that gives me a lil space... but the wind was to bad... and it was high tide so the water was smashing against the rocks... We waited and waited but the wind didn't came so we got a surfboard and went peddling, because the waves where super nice compared to Holland... But it was funny because when you go surfing in Holland you catch the first wave you see... But here there are sets so me as dutchie taking the first wave and get the rest of the set on my hat... But I learned fast and had a good time... |

| This morning the wind forecast was super bad so we got to sleep in till 10ish for the skippers meeting. After we had the skippers meeting I did some interneting and went out peddling again...It was super nice and I think this is what's going to happen for the rest of the week! At night there was a party with a jazz band... and it was pretty nice... When I got home I went to sleep.... |

| KPWT France 26/10/2006, St. Gilles Croix de Vie |
|
| Tuesday William and myself drove down to St. Gilles for the KPWT France stop. On the way we picked up 2 other guys, but first we missed a exit and took a lil D-tour. Arriving at the guys house we switched cars and driver... and of course we missed an other 2 exits in half an hour. After that we made it pretty ok... till the almost very last by missing an other exit. We arrived at the hotel where we stayed the first night, but 2 of us didn't make a reservation so we slept with 4 people in a 2 pers. room. Was pretty cosy but not too. |
 |
| The next morning was the registration day and it was howling! first it was a lil side off shore.. but it turned and people went out. After checking in to the other hotel I took my 7m2 and went out for a sick session with super sweet waves! it was a bit gusty... but the messed up thing was when I got of the water it turned side shore so it got more consistent. But I was pretty done after my session so I went to chill some and did the registration. That night was the openings ceremony with some bites and drinks... We didn't stayed to long cause skippers meeting is tomorrow at 8:30! |
