Just thought I might let you all know it's been blowing it's tits i
off the last few days in Jeri, brazil. Arrived a week ago after 5 months around south America, hadn't sailed the whole time and was very much itching for one badly! It's still earlier in the year, and only supposed to get stronger later!
The first few days were light (meaning a measly 18-20knots :)) but the last 4 days have been hammering - most people on 4.7-4.2m. The standard of sailing is so high out here too - these damn 12yr wonderchild doing switch everythings all around you! Also great fun at Maiada beach ( not sure about that spelling) which is cross shore, and usually about double the size waves as the main point. There are some pics of a session a few days ago at Maiada on the clubventos website, in the pics section.
Anyway, this place is pretty awesome! My hands are shredded after a week of heavy sailing, but it's hard to have a rest when it's great conditions.
I have my gopro over here and am gettin a heap of good footage, so I'll put pics and vid up when I can!
Peace
Will
