New career is almost in reach!

I was thinking it was time for me to hang up the BA and putting the sunny's aside.

Unlike teaching windsurfing i see this as a big career for myself as i saw windsurfing as a past time to get away for the summer, but no more seasons for me (unless i manage to get on the ships!)
I have been looking for a job that would keep me busy, interested and a good amount of time off to windsurf as i will be mainly working nights its ideal for me!

Can you guess what it is i'm on about yet?

Thats right i am training to become a Coupier and i had some really good news the other day, My gaming lience has been issued and i only have max 2 weeks left on the training school. Really looking forward to getting in the pit and dealing some games.
I have been learning 3 games over the past 6 weeks:
Roulette (easyest game to Play, Hardest game to deal!),
Blackjack (21 love it!),
and Three Card Poker.

Alot of time and hard work has been put into the our training and all off us there would like to thank Gale, Tim and Sue for there help


O yeah and the was going off this week so lets just hope it keeps up for a windy weekend and i hope to get out on Sunday i'll keep you posted.

Windy weekend!

Windguru was looking good for the weekend and it delivered more than i was hoping so we headed to Calshot it turned out windguru wasn't liying!

Saturday was a nice steady wind from the SW around 17knts we rigged up a 5.3 and got on with the job in hand and that job was to surf!

Didn't really try anything interesting stacked all attempts at vulcans and only really got a few nice jumps in out back with the swell, myself and Kyle had taking it in turns going out as he only had his kite with him and it was to windy for it? as i sat there wait for him to in i saw a sail out the corner of my eye and then it just went in to overload on some sick freestyle doing a sick Funnel coming in, as i went out i went past him and then he pulled off a shaka landed it and just sailed of like nothing happened only when i got back home did i realise it was Al bently showing off, just wish i got some video of him doing his stuff and not of me and Kyle mincing around and stacking everywhere we went!!


Kyle epicly failing
to waterstrat, Haha!!






Sunday was abit to windy for myself so i rigged the 4.5 and got my ass whooped trying pretty much everything but i did manage a bodydrag and a few big jumps??

And cheers to Papa Kyle for taking us down to calshot shame you didn't get out on the water.

The wind is looking good for the week so i look forward to seeing you out there.
