How much vaypaut?
Today I moved from its former Shanghai apartment to a new place in a bright orange t-shirt with the inscription «I'm Jive!» Moving - is always a new page in life. In other news: a recent yoga I first began to get an intricate asana on the head (triangle headstand). Actually my first experience with a headstand (headstand) occurred on my very first yoga class and ended emergency station and rentgentom neck. Well, gradually began to receive and without the emergency station. In the old apartment, I still have a small luggage neraskazzannyh stories, here is one of them.
Once in Hainan I happened to meet a very interesting person, Abranom from the U.S.. On Hainan, he came to ride. Abra worked for many years in the leading surf brands, surf for twenty years and told the curious things about the features of the workflow in the business. For example, those rides were allowed to come a little later and at a dinner lacking a little longer to allow more time to devote to surf. And no ordinary office dress code. In 1990-1991, when the movie was "On the crest of a wave» (Point Break), Abra was on a business trip near the site of filming and talked with the team of the movie. Remember that hard vaypaut in the final scene of the film, when Johnny Utah lets criminals Bodi (Bodhi) at the giant wave? Have you ever wondered how to remove this scene?

Like me, he came to the May holidays in Hainan to call Swell . Here are his impressions: "I caught some of the best waves in my life, including my first tube. If a survey of surfers, most of them will tell you that like most tube. Now I understand why. Let the sense of "inside the wave" lasted only a second, but then I was still half a minute he could not stop smiling and laughing uncontrollably. At full speed stooping to the board to fit inside, I saw the top streams of green water, cut through the blue sky above us. It was the discovery that I can not forget. I do not think that these feelings can be put into words. But I am absolutely sure that all the rest my life I will seek out and catch a wave and a pipe ". Click here for original English version.

Warning There is a wave!
Friends, an important announcement: all projections show that the May holidays on Hainan is a strong north-easterly Swell. Most likely - the last in this season. Then we will entertain other waves - children of the south. But the north-eastern Swell subside until next fall, that is for another 5 months. We will monitor the Swell and make updates. It seems to Hainan to seeing CD-waves will come many surfers who live in China. Such is the carnival in serferski.Planirovat arrival at Hainan has the meaning of numbers from 29 April. I personally - at a loss: I'm on holidays in May has already formed great plans to walk through the mountains, picturesque landscapes, in the evenings with a glass of wine by the fireplace and yoga outdoors, book a hotel, etc. What I choose, to go to the mountains, as already planned and arranged ... or cancel the plans and go over the waves? I will not flog a fever, I'll watch the forecasts. Suddenly Swell shatter and make a choice simply no longer needed. Who else loses the rest of this news - on Hainan you will be happy!
Hainan - a new spot Hou Hai
If the first time I went to Hainan in the big Swell, but this time decided to see what the island has to offer, when the forecast shows only a small wave. I am glad that the sites under " Weather "to help accurately determine the surf in Hainan in the estimated time of travel. In any case, while there was no misfires. How will - tell you necessarily. In Ji Yue Wan, we did not go as projected 4-5 feet is not enough to spot a well-earned. In addition, the bay of the Sun and the Moon (as translated Zhi Wang Yue) looks to the southeast, and if the pulse is from the northeast, it partially blocks the mountain cape from the left edge of the bay, where the break point. However, when the eastern Swell fatten from 8 feet or more, here comes the heat. In autumn-winter in Hainan there are always something katabelnoe. This time we went to the best spot for small waves - Hou Hai.

Hawaiian Clark Little - one of the first surfers who dared to challenge the waves shorbreyka Bay Vaymea on about. Oahu, famous worldwide for its dangerous giant waves. Some say that the boundary between life and death lies somewhere on this spot. Only a very experienced and talented surfers can go through border control without a loss.
Currently Mr. Little found himself in photography. His pictures show the wave in this way, in which they have never been seen sitting on a towel on the bank. His work is spoken today in America, the day before Clark even had an interview at the central newsletter show Good Morning America. When you see some of his shots for "Next" button, then themselves will understand what makes a person go into the arms of the ocean, to endure blows tons of water and sometimes risking their lives. However, the majority of readers of my blog is most likely already know themselves and their own experience.
