Surfing

I'm really liking surfing, went last week Friday after work, and again last night. Lots of wind last week, not too many waves, but enough to play around a bit in the surf. Tonnes of kite surfers out whenever there's wind.



-Scheveningen - The surf place I got lessons from and rent stuff from in the fore ground, the North sea in the background, full of kite surfers.



-Free Architecture Surf Terrain - They set up, new this year, a little surfer village at the end of the beach by the pier using shipping containers. "The plan provides for a centre with showers and changing room facilities with lockers, sleeping accommodation, a small stage, a café with internet facilities and parking for surfers with campers."

-Fireworks - So, as I was leaving on my rental bike, the whole fireworks show started, from a barge just off the beach in the water. Lots of spectators.

Last night went surfing again. This time, I didn't so much check the weather report as just what the waves would be like, and glanced at the beach webcams a few times through the day at work to see what it was like.
There were good waves, but there was also lots of rain, wind, hard rain, lightning, and chickpea size hail. So I managed to surf a bit when it let up and there was a clearing in the sky. At least the weather systems here don't really hang around too much, but switch up.
(no I didn't go out surfing on the water when there was hail or lightning, I'm not that hard core... yet).
