Cumbuco FORTALEZA BRASIL Nov 4/ 2005, today.

[iran]

Sorry, but I had to do it again!
Today Friday at 10h, SE turning ESE, 22-26 kts, at 11h, 26-34 kts, mmmm gusty!, unusual conditions for our area, some of the fellows that went yesterday to Paracuru, returned today morning talking about nuclear conditions, most of pro riders were back at Cauipe, (it's not much fun to try handle pass in 35 kts, isn't); at 13h, 16-24 kts, it kept up and down, gusty and choppy, at high tide, the shore break was quite rideable, cause of the size of the waves, though... rather unforgiving, this days we had great ride action in front of Golfinho, a group of french kiters, also my friend Jeroen, the pro PKRA rider Kevin Langeree and a bunch of unknown brave riders who managed to kept us quite amused, be said that today we had some not too serious accidents next door, some fellow landing on his back on the beach after a missing reception , another guy got tangled between his lines, and yesterday some kiter had to be removed to a hospital after cutting his leg with the finn of his board in Cauipe lagoon, therefore a pic of one of our guests (an Uruguaian surgeon spending his holidays at Golfinho) who had to help the two guys on the beach today.
Be this post dedicated to him, here some pics of the action, more pics of yesterday's action on the info en español.
