Windsurfer crashes into whale at high speed
"when the whale surfaced in HIS path" ?

"Many gray whales now show signs of poor nutrition, and reproduction rates have dropped significantly. During the 2025 migration, only 85 mother-calf pairs were recorded moving past central California by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa), the lowest number on record. Scientists believe that shifting food availability in the Arctic, likely linked to the climate crisis, is a key factor." >>

La primera vegada que vaig escoltar aquest tema era l'estiu de 1979 en una discoteca de Capdepera.
Feia el torn d'estiu del SeaClub !

It should have been snowstorm here today, but not so far ... So here is a some windsurfing on a windy day, back from June 2020 instead.

A windsurfer at Ho’okipa Beach in #Hawaii, a spot famous for its big waves and strong winds. “From this view, you can really feel the power of the ocean and the connection between the rider, the wave, and the wind,” says Iliya.

@mythologyandhistory The start of Perth sea breezes. #windsurfing season. No more thick wet suits and regular daily 20knot winds. Sitting around at the beach with friends saying a touch less wind or a smaller sail or foil would be good. I'm starting to get excited just thinking about it. Oh and the #afl grand final of course.
