To Porquerolles and back! - Kitesurf Session 90

With a couple of days off from work, me, Steph and Cyril decided to visit our friend Julien, that recently went to live near the spots of Almanarre for work reasons (and, of course, a big "kite" motivation)...
With no wind on the first day, we went for a SUP (Stand Up Paddle) session and a walk around the Giens peninsula.

From the eastern tip of the peninsula, we could see the island of Porquerolles... I must confess that for a couple of years I'd been dreaming of making the connection to Porquerolles by kite, so even if the forecast wasn't very good, I was hoping that the next day would offer some wind...

On the beginning of the afternoon of the second day, a breeze from the East started to blow, so we headed to the La Badine spot, hoping for some luck. As soon as we got the gear ready, a steady wind started to blow and, against all odds, I managed to fulfil my dream and go to Porquerolles and back by kite!

(I didn't take any photos on the second day, so Olive gently offered two from a very similar session he recently did to illustrate this post)

(with all the hurry, I also forgot my GPS, so here's a rough sketch of our session)
