J\u0117gos aitvarais plaukioju ma\u017edaug nuo 2018 met\u0173. Per tuos a\u0161tuonerius metus kaitavau gana intensyviai \u2013 visas pastar\u0105sias a\u0161tuonias vasaras praleidau kaitavimo vietose, taip pat ir kai kurias \u017eiemas. Daug eksperimentavau su savo \u0161uoli\u0173 ir \u201eloop\u0173\u201c galimybi\u0173 ribomis, o nor\u0117damas i\u0161bandyti kaitavim\u0105 bangose, \u012fsigijau ir banglent\u0119 (\u201ewaveboard\u201c).
Ta\u010diau tik \u0161iemet (2026 m.) prad\u0117jau bandyti \u201edownwind\u0105\u201c \u2013 ilgesnius plaukimus pav\u0117jui. Turiu pripa\u017einti, kad man tikras, pilnavertis \u201edownwindas\u201c, palyginti su \u201e\u012fprastu\u201c kaitavimu vienoje vietoje, yra tarsi visi\u0161kai nauja sporto \u0161aka.
Palyginimui \u012fsivaizduokite, kad vis\u0105 dien\u0105 slidin\u0117jate vienoje ir toje pa\u010dioje trasoje, o tada palyginkite tai su visos dienos kelione slid\u0117mis per skirtingus slidin\u0117jimo kurortus \u2013 pradedate vienoje vietoje, o dien\u0105 baigiate u\u017e koki\u0173 60\u201380 km nuo starto ta\u0161ko. Visi\u0161kai nauja patirtis!
\u0160\u012f \u012fra\u0161\u0105 publikuoju tiesiog i\u0161 gryno d\u017eiaugsmo \u201eatradus\u201c \u0161i\u0105 man iki \u0161iol nepa\u017eint\u0105 ir nei\u0161tyrin\u0117t\u0105 kaitavimo pus\u0119.
Jei jau esate kaitavimo m\u0117g\u0117jas, daugiau ar ma\u017eiau atrad\u0119s savo galimybi\u0173 ribas ir ie\u0161kantis naujos \u0161io sporto \u201e\u0161akos\u201c, labai rekomenduoju i\u0161bandyti \u201edownwind\u0105\u201c.
\u201eDownwindas\u201c yra visi\u0161kai kitokia patirtis dar ir tod\u0117l, kad:
a) \u010dia reikia visai kitoki\u0173 \u012fg\u016bd\u017ei\u0173 nei t\u0173, kuriuos \u012fgijote \u0161okin\u0117dami ir tobulindami triukus. Kitokia v\u0117jo kryptis reikalauja ir kitokios plaukimo technikos.
b) jums reik\u0117s kryptin\u0117s (\u201edirectional\u201c) bang\u0173 lentos be kojakilpi\u0173 (\u201estrapless waveboard\u201c) arba hidrofoil lentos be kojakilpi\u0173 (\u201estrapless foil board\u201c).
Apibendrinant \u2013 \u201edownwindas\u201c yra be galo smagus, ypa\u010d palyginti su kaitavimu vienoje vietoje.
Jis turi tik vien\u0105 tr\u016bkum\u0105 \u2013 realiai vienam tuo u\u017esiimti beveik ne\u012fmanoma. Reikia i\u0161 anksto susitarti, kad kas nors jus parve\u017et\u0173 namo, arba fini\u0161o vietoje palikti transporto priemon\u0119. Jau nekalbant apie tai, kad gali prireikti jus \u201esurinkti\u201c i\u0161 kur nors pakeliui, jei d\u0117l koki\u0173 nors prie\u017eas\u010di\u0173 plaukim\u0105 tekt\u0173 baigti anks\u010diau nei planuota.
\u201eDownwind\u0105\u201c prad\u0117jau bandyti tik 2026-aisiais, bet jau sp\u0117jau susidurti su nema\u017eai technologini\u0173 i\u0161\u0161\u016bki\u0173. Jei pavyks rasti j\u0173 sprendimus, mielai jais pasidalinsiu \u0161iame tinklara\u0161tyje. \ud83d\ude42
Iki \u0161iol esu atlik\u0119s tris \u201edownwind\u201c keliones:
Nuo Klaip\u0117dos (Lietuva) papl\u016bdimio iki J\u016brmalciemo (Latvija) papl\u016bdimio. Tai buvo nuo\u017emiausi 70 km, kokius man kada nors teko \u012fveikti. Stiprus v\u0117jas nuo j\u016bros ir agresyvios, ma\u017edaug 2 metr\u0173 auk\u0161\u010dio bangos nuolat band\u0117 mane pargriauti. Pakeliui praradau \u201eGoPro\u201c \u012frang\u0105 ir akinius nuo saul\u0117s, bet vis\u0105 atstum\u0105 vis tiek s\u0117kmingai \u012fveikiau. \ud83d\ude42
80 km nuo J\u016brmalciemo iki Pavilostos (Latvija) ir 60 km nuo Pavilostos iki Ventspilio (Latvija).

Mano i\u0161vados iki \u0161iol:
Kiekvienam tokiam plaukimui \u012fveikti prireikia ma\u017edaug 5 valand\u0173, o 60 km atstumas (bent jau kol kas) man atrodo pats komforti\u0161kiausias.<\/summary>\n
