After two days of enforced rest - the first very welcome, the second much less so - the wind returned with a vengeance for the...DOWNWINDER!!! Youssef's pick-up was loaded as planned and driven about 10km upwind to a cross-off beach break that was deserted save for a few fishermen plying their trade. On arrival the wind was crap and we had brought only 4.0s and 4.5s. We were considering driving back to Moulay to pick up our 5.2s but Youssef and Fettah were certain that the wind would pick up. We weren't convinced but sure enough local knowledge was correct and soon we were all maxed on 4.5s. No groundswell meant that the waves were small but they were super clean and really great fun in the cross-off direction. With no worries about staying upwind I scored loads of proper good dtl turns linking several sessions per ride oooohhh so much fun I luv wavesailing. I even popped my first ever proper aerial off one waist-higher oh yeah. :)

The wind continued to increase and the last part of the session - the manic overpowered downwind blast back to Moulay - wasn't so great. But overall a superb trip that was well worth the effort. That long beautiful deserted sandy beach with no rocky foot-spiking reef to worry about and wall-to-wall sunshine illuminating endless small clean azure (not Moulay brown!) waves caressed by a perfect cross-off breeze...mmmm more happy memories. Our only regrets were that we didn't make the trip earlier in the week when the waves were bigger! That beach must really fire when a proper groundswell is pumping.
