At this precise moment, I am sitting in my Dominican living room, looking outside at the breeze moving the palm leaves. I hear a conversation about the weather, which has been the main subject here since we arrived. It has been raining, I mean, pouring rain, since we arrive until this morning. The skies seem to clear up today, and we are waiting for the wind as always. With the sport we are doing, it makes us very conscious of our physical environment. The rain, the clouds, the sun will change the wind conditions, sometimes very quickly. We are hence playing the favorite game of all kiteboarders in this world: the “waiting for the wind” game.
Despite the weather, I am very glad to be arrived here, and I feel I am going to have very good sessions on the water. So here we are, getting ready to leave for the beach, to cross the chaotic street looking like Sherpas with all our gear on our back, to reach the sea… to be followed!
