Morito Beach was bustling from Obon onwards until this weekend!

Strong winds were forecast for both Saturday and Sunday, but the morning was calm.

Get out early before the wind blows up!

The students who came to practice enthusiastically during the summer vacation were checking their ropework while rigging and preparing with the instructor. I hope that what they practiced was useful when they returned to their clubs!

When you're ready, head out to sea!

Today I tried riding solo for the first time!

Let's practice what we learned in the morning on the bike by riding alone!

These are junior high school students who come to practice every week and have pretty much mastered the basics!

Even in the afternoon, the wind wasn't as strong as predicted, and the weather was nice, perfect for a day at the beach.

Four boys from soccer came to try sailing.

Did you enjoy Najima?

I was hoping for calm conditions like yesterday!

On Sunday morning the wind was strong,

Everyone, please make sure to check carefully before setting out to make sure there are no mistakes in the rigging or any problems with the boat!

These guys usually participate in club races on RS Quest.

This time we're taking on the RS Vision challenge! What a lovely smile under the blue sky! It's windy, but do your best!

By the time we set sail, the wind had picked up enough to create whitecaps.

Even those who were training free suddenly became strong wind school.

The wind was blowing hard on the starting course as well, making it tough conditions for a full two-hour school, but everyone practiced hard!

Thank you for your hard work!

Meanwhile, S-chan, who loves strong winds, is smiling with ease!

The level 4 school apparently practiced a little offshore from Najima, but once they got past Najima the swells were very large.

Whether you're a first timer or a veteran, you can still enjoy the summer sea breeze!
