Arriving in Paradise.
15/12/2006, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands
When I left to go to Brussels i forgot my ticket at home, but I only found that out at 10pm. So I had to drive back all the way to my place. luckily my girl came with me and good thing there wasn't that much traffic so we had a pretty smooth driving session. O and on the way back the closed the entire road en there where cops everywhere so we had to go through the gas station. When we saw what was going on it was kinda funny. There was a chopper in the middle of the highway. We drove on and got home safely at 2am to sleep a whole 3 hours. At Brussels airport I had to pay for my boardbag and then went on to catch my flight... that was 30 min delayed. Normally that doesn't matter, but I had such tight connection flights that every minute was welcome. After 8 hours orso we reached JKF (New york) airport 40 minutes late and I already had only 2 hours to get to the next plain. When I was halfway through the line of immigration I saw a clock that said I only had an hour before my flight left. After immigration I sprinted to luggage dropped that off and sprinted to my gate and made it when the started boarding. Miami was easy I only had half an hour cause we where delayed again, but my gate was next to the gate I came out of so that was good. After arriving in St. Thomas I was so tired. I didn't expect my luggage to be there, but then I saw my boardbag and my other bag so I was stoked. I got picked up by Nicolas and drove home.


Today there was some wind. So we checked it out and went out. it was a lil bit squally so that made it wind on wind off, but "always look on the bright sight of life" it's warm and had a nice boardshort session on my 12m2. Then we gopt a super nice lunch at a local trailer kinda deal and it was so super nice. Thats a keeper . Tonight Madison comes in from Mauritius and I think something is going on in town so I'll see whats happening.

There was miracle at main street, but we ended up not going, cause we where all so tired. The next morning I got my christmas present: a surfboard!! I was so stoked and there was a nice swell coming in to Hull Bay so I got to use it right away! I got pounded in so many waves, but hey I got the duck diving part under control now. When we got home I was so dead cause we peddled a good amount. We had a lovely spaghetti with red sauce for diner. I went to bed early.

We had to get up at 6:25 the next morning to go down to Hull Bay, to take a boat out and go surfing in Culebra (thats an Island like 30 min. away). We got there and the waves weren't that great but we still went out I caught 2 nice waves. When we where over that place we went the next bay to check out the waves there. They were a lot bigger and nicer, but it was a beach break and got pounded so many times again... On the way back to Hull Bay we got out there to catch some last waves of the day. I got a few so that was super nice. When we got back home there was a friend coming over to make sushi. It was so good!!


This morning I had to arrange somethings with my kites, but it all worked out thanks 2 my dad. After stressing over it we went down to the hanger to get Charlotte's car and drove down to the east end to go kiting at the Ritz Carlton beach. it wasn't great but we did a couple of tacks with my 15m2. When the wind died we chilled a lil while in the swimming pool and got lunch at Burritobay Deli. On the way home we took a wrong exit and had to go through the getto to get back on the right road. once we got home we had to fix somebody's kite, because there was a hole in the leading edge.
