Being foreclosed all other possible destinations, for reasons related to Covid, we decided to take the opportunity of this forced holiday week to finally go and discover a well-known windsurfing destination: Fuerteventura, in the Canary Islands. Here is our report.
From 16 to 21 June 2015, we were in France for a windsurfing holiday. We were in Leucate and Gruissan, in the Languedoc-Roussillon department, places which offer countless spots for windsurfing. The weather forecasts, that led us there, were fully confirmed, and we had 4 consecutive days of mistral between 30 to 40 knots, 24 hours a day. It was like being at Disneyland .... And to let us not miss anything, we explored also the spot of San Pere Pescador in Spain, which is only 90 km from Leucate.

It's been a good week for Bora Wind in Sottomarina (Venice, Italy), the last one just passed, between late September and early October 2015. In the first part, it gave a lot of wind (though not always optimal as direction and stability), and waves to jump and surf. In the second half, the waves have become smaller, but more regular, and the skies have been covered. But the fun was not missed.

A weekend with winds from the East, that started, for us, in Cannes, on Saturday, at Palm Beach, with about 30-35 knots wind, and good waves; the spot, though, was too crowded. In the evening, we ended with a fine dinner in good company, in Antibes.
Plenty of wind indeed ... Today, at Prà de la Fam, Lake Garda, his majesty the Peler went on stage with his best suit. Wind from 7.00 to 12.00, for a really funny windsurfing session! And to make matters even better, I had the pleasure of filming Simone Grezzi's show.
