After the PKRA in Germany I wanted to go somewhere to train and to unwind at the same time. I thought of Egypt as it’s cheap and most kitespots have perfect conditions for Freestyle. But Paul wasn’t too crazy about me going alone to Egypt so we decided that Brazil would be a good choice. We have already been once in Ilha do Guajiru and I absolutely love it.

This year is already my 9th time at the PKRA tour stop in Germany. The first event in Germany was held in 2006. At that time I worked for the organization. In 2012 I competed under the Venezuelan flag in the PKRA at the German and Venezuelan tour stop and I was actually ranked #7 in the world for a short time 😉

I have always wondered how kitesurfing in Barbados is and what the island has to offer. It was my wish to spend my birthday on an other Caribbean Island. Of course I also wanted to celebrate a bit so we decided that we would finish up our Island hopping with Barbados as the island has both – kitesurfing and nightlife.

We arrived in St. Lucia at 11am. We asked the taxi to stop for some fresh coconut water – the best natural drink and so delicious.

The drive from the airport to Nonsuch Bay Resort took about about 50min. Our taxi driver was super slow. Probably because of his age. He told us the same things two or three times which was kind of funny. He repeatedly said that Antigua is great because the people are nice and friendly, it’s sunny and they have lots off fresh fruits….The people in Antigua are nice and friendly you know. And it’s always sunny. Very friendly people 😉

As we are passionate frequent flyers we knew that Maho Beach in St. Martin is famous for plane watching. The arriving planes fly at minimum altitude over the beach and land on the smallest runway in the world just behind the beach at Juliana Airport (SXM). The vibe at the beach is awesome. Tourists stand at the beach sipping cocktails while airplanes come in for landing just a few feet above their heads. We have seen videos on youtube before and did not want to miss this experience. We checked the flight board before our arrival and saw that KLM would land about the same time as our plane. Unfortunately the plane already had arrived when we landed. But we asked the taxi driver to stop so that at least we could see the KLM plane taking off. So we hung on for the jet blast. I never imagined that the jet blast would be so powerful. It literally blows you away. I’m glad we were not standing right at the fence. After the KLM took off, we stayed to watch the DELTA flight coming in and took some nice photos.

I have had a lot of sea urchin stings and some spines on the bottom of my foot had to be removed with a laser. So you would think I learned my lesson. But fiddlesticks! I stepped again on a sea urchin and instead of taking good care of it, I continued kiting. The wound got infected and I ended up going to the hospital where I had an incision (surgical cut) to drain the pus. So if you don’t want to end up like me, follow these steps to treat your sea urchin wound properly!
