OCTOBER 31, 2009

Today Club Ventos hosted the Big Jeri Premiere of Four Dimensions movie and the entire town was waiting for it! 200-300 people joined. Numbers of clients, local people, windsurfers and pro, were presents to discover one of the best windsurfing action movies of the year and it was hard to get a seat if you were not there 1 hour before the start. It felt really cool as Jeri an Icarai were the place where has been filmed the last section of the movie.  People really loved it and gave great feedback which was maybe also the reason why the night ended in a massive Halloween Party.

About the conditions... the wave increased really. We had really nice wave sessions. We could see some locals guys as Ian Mouro (BRA 85) doing nice double fowards! Even early the mornig or at sunset time the spot is perfect for surfing or doing some SUP.

Your wave board is waiting for you in the rack... what are you waiting for ???

More than half of October... Time to give more news.

Everything is fine in our little paradise of Jericoacoara. The conditions are present erveryday of this month. You could go windsurfing every single day of October most of the time using 4.7. Today for example we recommend 5.0 (80-90kgs) 4.2 - 4.7 (70-80kgs) 4.0 - 4.2 (60-70-kgs) and less than 4.2 (<60kgs).

The last full moon bring us the first really consistant and high waves. We saw some good waveriders made arround 6 bottoms on 2m waves! Great to have strong wind and bigger wave. The level increased a lot on the spot as many people arrived for October and November. It is really great to watch all types of moves on the water when you are sailing... On the earth the atmosphere is very friendly all together and the nightlife still very animated.

Do I have to mention something about the sun, the palm trees, the sandy beach and dunes, the lagoons that surround us

SEPTEMBER 30, 2009

September was really a great month...

Our clients use for the great majority of them the 4.5 sail and sometimes 4.2 as the wind got really stonger. At low tide this is still a really good spot for freestyle or practicing your jibes near the beach. At high tide we had some good days with a small wave at the point.

The lucky clients of the end of September and begining of October are the first who could use the brand new 2010 JP and Starboard boards that we have just received.

Moreover, the atmosphere at the ClubVentos is really great with the evening shows... Every day at sunset time different shows are presented (Surf TV, Windsurfing or cinema movies on our big screen, traditional dance classes, Live Music and Windsurfing Clinics)

We are waiting for you...

The conditions are still good here and getting better and better. The ones who could not wait for some waves were going to the Malahada beach a little more upwind to ride the first waves of the season.

Some locals came back like Chico Bento who gave us a real pleasure to watch him doing crazy freestyle moves with his 4.5 sail.
 
We also have the visit of Andre Paskowki, Jose Gollito Estreto (the world freestyle Champion) and Brawzinho who where here for filming their last part of their DVD project of “Four Dimensions Movie”
The windy conditions, the natural environment and beautiful landscape of the spot seduced them one more time this year that they came back… with the camera !
 
This month the restaurant opened its buffet self service but our Grubby, Spock and others “windsurfing sandwiches” were still so appreciated as if it was a training to eat the sandwich which has the name of the move you are working on!

JULY 30, 2009

In July, the wind started to blow stronger and could offer us two sessions a day, the best days.

The morning the more light wind from South East gave us good freeride and freestyle sessions in the wonderful environment of Jeri. We could sail following the dunes and the beach and have such a nice view of the coast!
 
During the afternoon, more East - North East oriented the wind was stronger (due to the thermic wind) and we were sailing after the point break with smaller sails (between 5.5 and 4.7).

APRIL 28, 2009

The wave surfing month!

As if the mother nature wants us to take a small rest before the beginning of the new windy season, April is the “less windy month” with around 20% of days stronger than 4 Beaufort wind force. The less strong wind offered us really good surfing sessions with dreaming glassy waves but we still kept our 5.5 ready for some windsurfing afternoon!

Hello everybody!

Our wind season is pratically at the end, however January always means good days, such as 5.3 - 5.7 on the afternoon session.

January has been a great month, with the best waves of the year! In a swell day...oohh...PERFECT RIDING!

And just to add, we are having lots of fun with the NEW TOYS: the SUP and gemini board don't get dry at the rack. Everyday at the water, all the time!

Now, most of our staff left for their vacation as we are facing low season, and the ones whom stayed are already working hard for the next 2009 season, which promisses to be THE YEAR.

all the best for everybody and good winds!
