#10 First time sailing at famous Carro beach

OK, for my 10th session, I finally got up the nerve to sail at Carro beach.  The windsurfing guide book from Stoked Publications suggests that Carro is one of the top spots in France. So I was a bit intimidated, but with my wife and family there with me, I got up the nerve.

Well, actually the kids just stayed in the car. But my lovely wife watched from shore and took these pictures.

The bottom is rocky, so I wore booties for the first time this year. I only cut one guy off on a wave (merde, pardonez moi) and despite the crowds, I look forward to getting back to this spot again soon.

Jumping!

Navigating the crowds - 100 sailors - a few waves

Got my own wave!

Cdn Guy is Stoked!

Only 2 vulcan attempts, but number 76 slid for a mile (well maybe 2 metres). I need to get my hands to the other side. Shove its started having a bit of backwind. More to do there too. My jump looks better than I remember it, I'm looking forward to getting a really good one.

Here is a map of the areas I've been profiling in this blog.
