Being very misty when we met up, we had the time to hold a thorough briefing covering all aspects of advance level skills and explain the purpose of the day. As the mist started to lift we set off to put theory into practice.

Littered with set pieces and constant breaks for discussion and feedback the team practiced all forms of cresting. And as confidence grew we started to piece together maneuvers to create flow.

By 9: 30 the heat of the morning started to grow fiercer, so we slowed the pace and headed back to deflation.

Despite being a trip more focused on instruction and practice than adrenaline or pure exhilaration, it was an enjoyable morning that readies the new(ish) advance for future adventures.

Thanks to all for joining and especially to Osama and Thomas for providing feedback as necessary and keeping a watchful eye on us all.

Till next time

Thanks Michael for organizing the trip, thanks Thomas and Osama. The knowledge gained from the three of you is priceless. Looking forward to the next adventure in the sand.

Thanks Michael, That was a short but enjoyable classroom in the dunes.
