Report from Our Women’s Day on Ceralvo Island

Wanting to help raise some money for the school during the event here in La Ventana, Laura Mayer and i decided to organize a women only day at Ceralvo Island as a clinic during the La Ventana Classics event.

Only 4 men were allowed on the trip, our 2 captains, Yoyo and Yony, and 2 photographers, Peter Paul Porter and Paul Lang from the Kiteboarder Magasine. 16 women joined us on the trip and it was a blast.

Early morning we all loaded in the pongas and my little speedster and headed for the Island. 10 minutes into the trip Yony spotted 2 whales. The ladies all asked how I organized for the whales to be there . We followed them for a little while until they disappeared under water. Right away a pod of dolphins showed up and hung out with us. It was an awesome wild life show for almost an hour. What a treat, our photographers even got it all on camera. What a good way to start the day!

Then we headed to the Island and unloaded all the gear we had. Tonnes of North and Slingshot kites and boards. Lots for our girls to demo. Tim at Palapas Ventana hooked us up with a great lunch and we splitted the girls up into different clinics. How to ride, go upwind and some on advance tricks. Then we headed for the water. The wind was pretty light but still good to get out and have some fun. The day went by so fast, before we knew it it was time to go back. Some of the girls wanted to ride back across, with the light winds it was pretty challenging, nobody made it all the way to shore but all got picked up by the boats where beers ware waiting for them. Dd rode the party couch all the way back, what a trooper you can see her on the pictures holding on for dear life for the whole 11 miles crossing.

What an awesome day and it ended with Happy Hour at Baja Joe’s. The boys had set up an awesome bar for us with the best strawberry margaritas. Even if it was a girls day, the boys had a big part of it ! Thanks to Mark, Jonny and Robin for setting us up and everyone else that was involved with it. We raised $450 for the local schools.

We all had so much fun. Everyone wants to do it again.Next year, let’s double that, tell all your lady friends we will do it again for sure. Thanks Ladies for coming and being a part of it ! It was an experience that we will not forget.
