Where to windsurfing with your family?

Aloha.
Too many times I have met windsurfing guys traveling alone. Therefore, I have started making travel reviews on my blog and I hope to inspire more families/couples to travel and have fun with windsurf/SUP/surf.

Please check out http://www.ceciliasverden.no/about-my-sideways-travel-reviews/

Right now, we are staying 6 weeks on Maui. Little wind so far, but plenty of fun with SUP and surf.

(I hope it is ok that I make some PR here on this forum, if not please let me know )

I have absolutely 0 revenue on my blog (I have another paid job). My only motivation is to inspire others to travel. My private heart project. My blog is just a platform to communicate. I love windsurf, I love travel and I love my family. That´s it. Thanks for asking, so that I could make this clear!

"If your objective is sharing the stoke, not a problem.
If it's just more hits for revenue, it IS a problem"

Is the first sentence really upbeat about cecilia's post? Not as I see it, because it was the second sentence that reflected isobars' real mind and attitude. I'm glad that he got called on it.

Regarding cecilia's goal in the blog, I think that it's a great idea. The iWindsurf forum has always been a place where many windsurfers ask wanting to know more about different locations and their suitability for their partners and families. I think that the planned format for rating and review is a good one, and I'm sure that an active woman's perspective on things will provide a more unusual point of view that's quite refreshing.

maui is terrific

gorge is too.

lots to do in either place.

both places one can escape the heat by running to higher elevations.

gorge is way cheaper though. cheers

Thanks for posting the link. I read your review about Sao Miguel Do Gostovo - very informative and well written. We wanted to go there recently during out trip to Brazil, but Kauli told us that the wind there at the beginning of July is not good. The same was true for Ica. We ended up in Jeri, which was fun, but we'd probably check out Sao Miguel if we'd go back to Brazil.

Too bad that your trip to Maui is this year. From what I heard, it's the least windy summer in a long, long time. When we went there in the summer a few years ago, we sailed almost every day, mostly on 3.7-5.0.

Thanks for the support and trusting my good intentions, guys! swchandler, your comment on my goal is spot on.

Gorge is definitely on our list. And Maui weather is strange this year (and the exchange rate horrible). Fortunately, we have sailed 4.7, 5.2 the last three days, Kanaha and Hookipa (not me). But I am afraid, it will not last. We are here for 4 more weeks, so I hope we get some more.

Thanks for reading my Do Gostoso, boardsurfr. I have not been to Jeri, but we found Gostoso really good. One the best places I have windsurfed and a very laid back town with good restaurants.

I look forward to exchange more travel inspiration with you.
