After a 10 hours night flight, I arrive early in the morning not really fresh.
Stéphane picks me up at the airport and on the way back to his place, he shows me all the spots, I wanted radical, I’ve certainly got it, 30 knots wind, and in every bay, more than 3 meters of waves. The sea is white and smoke, here is my storm.
Stéphane takes me to his home, he built his wooden house a bit north of St Leu, the sight is incredible, he can even shoot the surfers from his terrace.
Lots of differents world objects have pride of place on every corner of the house, the shower is outside, the kitchen sink is made on an indonesian stone sculpture, the staircase is decorated with Madagascan sculptures, here is the house of my dreams.
St Leu works and apparently it’s not every day, I wake up my two functional neurones for kitesurfing, I manage to connect my lines, and it’s time for a session on this world class spot.
Hard to synchronize with windsurfeurs, the goal is to go the farthest possible off the coast (when I say far, it’s really far) and return with a wave as fast as possible.
The wave rolls perfectly, a small section and a big bowl a bit depowered at the end of wave, it is even possible to do barrels.
I regret being so tired, even if I slap myself, I fall asleep during the time that i need to catch the wave 3 km off the coast.
This evening, I quickly join the arms of Morpheus.
