Board sports heaven

I think we have been in the same spot for 3 days, and we could get used to this routine.
Mornings have been for foilboarding on the inside of the island, afternoons windsurfing with the kids on the outside of the island.
Today it was windy and I foilboarded with a 6 metre kite with 15m lines, and I was super powered up.
Then James and I grabbed a slalom board and a 5 metre sail, and had a blast around the bay 2 up.
James, was standing up and hanging onto the boom, and we even did a carve gybe!
During all of this the boat is happily anchored, and Sues is happily off the boat, and able to walk around.
Tomorrow we are having a learn to windsurf morning, then we are heading south to the big smoke.
Musket cove, or Vuda point marina, and hopefully some of the southern islands.
After Sues has her xray, we will decide our next move:
Plan A is Yasawa group
Plan B is back upwind to Taveuni and the Lau group.
Plan C is to head on to Noumea.
If we go for plan C, then we may have 2 girls keen to fly to Noumea.
Pic thanks to the 1984 (31 years ago) Windsurfer worlds. Not sure what went wrong with windsurfing, but those days were definitely the coolest, and simplest.
