⛱News Express⛱ Le bout de quai était intenable. Ressac de plus en plus fort . On a pas dormi. Comme convenu, les pêcheurs sont partis à 3h du mat' (super discret, des mecs vraiment bien élevés). Nous, on a tenu une heure de plus puis on a dégagé vite fait avant que ça tourne mal. Méthode pour enlever les amarres quand le ressac est puissant : 1) démarrer le moteur et attendre que le voilier soit rappelé vers le quai 2) compter 1.2.3 et bondir ensemble sur le quai 3) aller chacune à son amarre, l'une devant et l'autre derrière 4) compter la série (comme avec une planche de surf quand c'est gros et qu'il faut passer la barre) et à la dernière vague, juste quand le voilier est rappelé au quai, profiter de l'instant de calme : 5) défaire nos amarres, bien synchro et vite fait 6) balancer tout dans le voilier puis courir et sauter sur le pont 7) passer la vitesse, mettre les gaz et se déhaler de ce maudit quai ... à nous le large, 4h du mat', nuit noire comme de l'encre, vent soutenu mais pas méchant, direction Pico ! En cours de route, quand le jour se levait, nous avons croisé de beaux dauphins qui faisaient des bonds au-dessus de l'eau, des vrilles dans tous les sens. Pas de films, pas de photos parce que ça bougeait et Fabienne a perdu sa GoPro par 1000 mètres de fond 😥 Là, nous sommes arrivées au Paradis ... alors, on en profite un peu 😀

The hulls of Tiwal have been tried and successfully tested under a wide variety of (severe) operating conditions. The hulls are notably made more resistant by an overlay of yellow PVC. A wide band of reinforced PVC (“ragage”), used in rafting, protects the underside of the hulls from friction that may occur during launching and exiting. -------------------------- Subscribe for more Tiwal sailing videos : https://www.youtube.com/c/tiwal?sub_confirmation=1 Learn more about Tiwal and check out our Best Videos : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp7rkGxzrxNpemhhNJ0kB8mHF9q0IZWBA -------------------------- ** The Tiwal 3 Sailboat ** The Tiwal 3 inflatable sailing dinghy comes in two bags that are easily transportable by car, boat and even by plane.

I couldn't believe how well it sailed. You could have some serious fun with this, especially in big breeze." -------------------------- ** The Tiwal story ** * The Birth of Tiwal * As a girl, the first time our founder Marion Excoffon was told, “No!” by her father when she asked to use the family boat, her life as an inventor began. It was then she started dreaming of building her own craft, an ambitious feat that would come true years later. On the road to creating an innovative high-speed vessel for everyone from kids and first timers to expert sailors who want to test limits, there were a number of prototypes, failures, challenges and headaches. But, if there’s one thing Marion’s known for, it’s her sailor’s grit! * Combining Fun & Technology * The award winning Tiwal concept is easy assembly and storage - maximum fun and performance for watersports and activities. A Tiwal isn’t your average dinghy! Our design is the result of tons of coordination, talent, and technological savvy. * A Growing Global Community * For our community of Tiwal skippers (more than 2,500 worldwide!) all this innovative design means their focus is fixed on the pleasures of watersports and having tons of fun on a responsive sailing craft. With excellent upwind and downwind abilities combined with high-speeds, Tiwals are a part of both fun and professional performance. The Tiwal 3 received the Boat of the Year (Best innovation) Award 2014 from Sailing World in the USA and the Red Dot Award, with recognitions, accolades, and smiling faces continuing to join together on the waves worldwide.

Land diving is a ritual performed by the men of the southern part of Pentecost Island, Vanuatu. Men jump off wooden towers close to 90 feet high, with two tree vines wrapped around the ankles. Land diving is done by tying vines to each ankle. According to the Guinness World Records, the g-force experienced by those at their lowest point in the dive is the greatest experienced in the non-industrialized world by humans. The origin of land diving is described in a legend of a woman who was dissatisfied with her husband, . It is sometimes claimed that the woman was upset that her husband was too vigorous regarding his sexual wants, so she ran away into the forest. Her husband followed her, so she climbed a banyan tree.She tied lianas to her ankles and jumped and survived. Her husband jumped after her, but did not tie lianas to himself, which caused him to plummet and die. Originally, women did it in respect to the original woman who did it, but husbands were not comfortable with seeing their wives in such positions, so they took the sport for themselves, and it gradually changed from trees to specifically designed wooden towers. The men performed the original land diving so that they would not be tricked again.
