Who says that summer has come to an end?
I know that it is autum since the 21st of September, but we still have good weather to enjoy and make the most of our time going to the beach, outdoors and... Of course do some sport! Those who have read older posts on this blog may know that I love watersports and, as you can imagine, today I've been kiting in st.Pere.
September is one of the best months to kite because it is still hot, the water is warm and there's no people on the beach... The beach? Yes I could go to the beach, but what if there's a magnific river with flat water and wide enough to kite?! Obviously I've kited on the river and it was fantastic, and to do it even better, a friend of mine has lent me his surfboard. It is kind of a surfing board but with different finns and grip instead of wax, it is super funny... Can you figure out the wipeouts kiting without straps? Hehe... At first it was quite difficult but after some practice I've succeeded to jibe and surf some waves (I've also been to the sea kiting to avoid crashing my kite before knowing how to manage with the surfboard).
Something I do love from this spot is the calm you breathe there, the sights are very beautiful and there are a lot of birds around. The river flows pacificaly and the trees and the waves create a very special relaxing feeling. When you are there you lose the sense of time and... It has its cons! Because of that I arrived at home about half past seven and I had to do my homework a bit late:(
In conclusion, this afternoon has been great: I've kited on the river, I've learnt some tricks and I've taken force to continue the week!
On the photo you can see part of the river (not the wide one) and the sea with a nice boat on the front during a beautiful sunset.
