C’è una leggenda che narra le bellezze di questa incantevole spiaggia. Acqua cristallina, palme che allietano i caldi pomeriggi, cocchi venduti con una cannuccia da sorseggiare ascoltando musica caraibica. Per noi rimarrà per sempre una leggenda, perché la giornata di oggi ci ha regalato ben altre emozioni 😂 Tutto era partito con una proposta: domenica noleggiamo un’auto così visitiamo l’isola? Quattro persone avevano accolto con entusiasmo l’idea, felici di arricchire il proprio bagaglio culturale e di esperienze all’estero… Perciò stamattina ci siamo svegliati di buona lena per negoziare il noleggio di quest’auto. Da qui, inizia l’odissea. Nell’ordine: Il motore che si spegne in mezzo alla strada, specialmente nei momenti meno opportuni. La benzina che finisce a una velocità vertiginosa (siamo rimasti a secco) I fari che non funzionano Le frecce nemmeno, allora tira fuori la mano dal finestrino come fanno i ciclisti 😂 Il sistema di raffreddamento rotto, che ha sfiorato la tragedia L’aria che va e viene, appannando i vetri I finestrini che ogni tanto vanno in ferie e non riescono più a scendere né a salire (cit.) Giornata di matti al volante, di cani che si gettano in mezzo alla strada, diluvi torrenziali con la luce e con il buio. Giornata di abbaglianti negli occhi, di incidenti evitati per un pelo, di bottiglie di vetro lanciate per gioco (non da noi). Insomma, tutto normale! Noi abbiamo mangiato un pasto solido solo alle 22:15, quando abbiamo spento questa dannata auto per non accenderla mai più 😅 (domani verrà a riprendersela l’autonoleggio). La spiaggia? Una delusione totale. Ma immagino che questa opinione sia influenzata da tutto il vissuto precedente 😂 Domani per fortuna si torna a lavorare 😂😂😂 A presto! C

Assembly of the inflatable sailing boat Tiwal 3 with Marion EXCOFFON (TIWAL Designer) on board ! In real life, it takes less than 20 minutes to inflate and assemble a Tiwal 3. Each year the Tiwal Cup begins with an « assembly challenge ». It’s a competition to see who can inflate and assemble their boat the fastest. In 2017 Gregory Prelat and Melanie Vial set a doublehanded inflation and assembly record of 6 minutes 28 secondes. Gilles Bajolet took the solo win with a time just under 11 minutes. -------------------------- 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. This small inflatable sailboat is easily assembled in 20 minutes without any tools. Easy to handle, its sailing qualities will give you a thrilling experience. Very responsive, stable, and comfortable in light winds, the Tiwal 3 is dynamic in more challenging conditions. Whether you’re sailing solo or double-handed, it is perfect for your adventures at sea or on a lake! Boat of the Year Award | Best Innovation | by Sailing World U.S.A. "The thing was a blast. 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.
