Dealersmeeting Tarifa
10.10.07

And so I WAS on my way to Malaga and to my 4th stop of my around the world trip.

I was happy that Alex Brown choose to take the same flight and we could travel together. Tired we were both sitting at the airport and further on on the flights. In Lisbon our plane had quite a bit delay which made me a bit nervous as I only had 20 hours in Tarifa anyways.. but it came worse: getting into the plane that was supposed to fly us to Malaga we knew, our board bags will never fit in…And right, we arrived in Malaga without all our bags and it took us forever to claim the lost baggage and to make sure we would see the bags again soon. Bad for me as I was going to fly from Malaga to Lisbon, to London and Auckland the next day to go to the Cindy Mosey Island Odyssey…Without my bags? Oh well, for now it was Dealer Meeting time and we just arrived in time for the fun race. We met Ian, Richard, Sebastian and sooo many dealers at the beach as they were just having the skippers meeting. Of course I wanted to compete with them and get wet after such a long flight. So I got into my wetsuit, got a kite and a board, had the completely wrong set up on straps and bar, but had fun on the water and was glad I got to kite with everyone! In the evening we went all out for dinner and even partied a little (even though Alex and I had missed the party of the year the night before…). I even drank some whine and enjoyed the evening very much. The next morning I got up at 8 and went to kite with Ian for a last session. It was the first time that we actually kited together! Unfortunately I had to leave to soon and had to get on my next flight already. I would love to come back for the next meeting.. but for more then one day! ☺ Hope everyone is enjoying Tarifa and all the new equipment still! I would be…
Well, am in Auckland at the airport now after 40 hours of traveling. My plane to Tonga leaves soon and I will be on a little island together with 25 girls for the Cindy Mosey Island Odyssey… far away from civilization, with no internet and phone reception. I will definitely report about an surely amazing event as soon as I come back and say all the BEST for now! Kristin
