Hello Hello!!!

Hey, I've been so bad not updating my blog for a long time!! But yes, I’m still alive and happy.
For those who don’t know, I left Canada 2-3 weeks ago. I escaped
In Venezuela, which is an economic destination, where I can kite every day.

Time flies by, a lot had happen. First week was to get back to my usual level.
This part is always tricky for me, as I quiet often stop kiting for 2-3 months to work.
When I get back on the water, it feels like my progress is way behind. To avoid getting frustrated or stress, the key is to keep having fun (seems very easy but when you are focussing hard on a move and keep falling, sometime the fun just runs away). I found out that, I need to fix myself some really small goals (that eventually brings me to the move I want to do). Those little steps, makes me feel like I progress again and then It’s easy to enjoy every minutes in the water cause I’m fully motivated. Also chatting with other riders, exchanging tips helps a lot!

Second week, I somehow eat something bad and get super sick but didn't last too long... I guess my system was no longer use to the Venezuelan style and food. Ho and my computer crash down! I couldn't be more out of society! Anyway, I took it easy (had no choice) and went back a few days later on the water with even more motivation.

I start practicing the 'slimchance' thanks to Victor for the few tips (really looking forward to have this one in my pocket, as it’s supposedly the easiest one!) I actually got a few (feeling of catching the bar the first time is always so good!) but then I guess I get to excited about it and really crash hard on my feet. Let’s say that my left foot stayed in the foot strap but shouldn't have. A visit to the Dr. Reassure me cause I just got some tissue and ligament stretch in my feet (thank God the knee is good!).

So for my third week, I’m again resting... watching the sun and exploring the island. I did visit some of my friends in Margarita (wish I had more pictures) but as you can see, I spend some time with Ann Poelman, which is a talented photographer and a super friend! I’m looking forward her to come back in Coche. Where the wind is nice and the water super flat!! Ho, and I also had a small visit in 'La casa de los perros' like I promise a friend. Enjoy some time with ‘Lily’. For those who were not there last year, Lily was the happiest dog ever that Maria and Timo took care off. They brought her to the Veterinary and give her a nice home... The dog is now super healthy and still reply to Lily! It was a cool journey.
So, all is cool. I’m happy but I can’t lie I’m looking forward to be back on the water and hope it will be longer than a week this time J

All of you, Take care and enjoy your journey!
