Time passes quickly and May has moved on faster then you could spell it. So it was time again for us to head to Izola for the now anual, second SURF FESTIVAL. The weather forcast was better then last year and we were happy to spend some time in the sun. I picked up a windsurfing buddy from Germany at the trainstation in Ljubljana on firday and after a chillaxing evening with Seba we were off on Saturday morning.
Andraž will teach you proper windsurfing 🙂
And Iztok will teach you the wave part 🙂
So we had a nice chill day with Nejc, Seba, Anja, Rene, Iva, Tanja … to keep it short a lot of our friends were there. Most of the surf, windsurf and kite schools presented themselves with there summer destinations, reselers were selling loads of new stuff and the wibe was great in the sun 🙂
I won´t write to much so just check out the gallery 😛
Of course the entire happening was rounded up with a few competitions, a SUP race and a Tow-In contest. Rene, Seba, Žiga and Žan were supposed to ride the Tow-In comp, some of them for the first time, but that was when the weather made a quick 180.
Preparations for the Tow-In
The powder follows me everywhere XD
In the afternoon a storm front formed and had us engulfed within an hour. The stormy water made it imposible to ride while towed so the Tow-In had to be canceled. Oh well better luck next time.Damn I was so looking forward for taking a few good shots 😛
Riders in the Storm
Fortunately the rain didn´t stop the grills from grilling and the DJs from playing so it was time for “Riders in the storm” under The Red Bull tent. And since the night was young we, after some pizza and relaxing at the parking lot, went to the after party that followed at the Moby dick bar in Izola. We even got a few snacks there and the service was excellent :)so go check it out if your in the area!
Longboards are in these days 😛
For the rest I´d just add that snoozing in the drivers seat is not as uncomfortable as it might sound. We awoke to a sunny morning and topped it off with some Banana Split in Koper before heading back to Ljubljana… after all the action we really did need some sleep 🙂
