BodySurfing at Messakti Beach, Ikaria island in the Aegean sea
( * title inspired from an interesting etymology of the word “Aegean” )
… it was impossible to take photos of the sea but it was possible to take photos of the sky.
Until something newer comes up, this was my last entry on bodysurfing.
My eyes are red and sea water is running from my nose. It’s time for a shower and a meal.

New friend Lambrini in Ikaria painted surfers on pebbles a month later…
I think they are great and I happen to know the young surfer!

Thank you, Nana!

His older brother, Lefteris, is a very nice guy.

Oops! Can! Right when I wanted to ask you this question. Tell me friend, have you heard of a mountain in Turkey by the name “Baba Dag”? An uncle of my grandmother who was in the sea and knew about the weather was telling stories that it was this mountain that regulated the weather. Is there a Baba Dag? It’s a funny name. It means Father Mountain, doesn’t it? Maybe it’s an old popular metaphor. Anyway, do you know anything about it?
Thursday September 11, 2008 – 10:54am (PDT) Remove Comment
Hmm…Yes it is a quite common name indeed and I know at least three Babadags in Western Turkey. The one that came to my mind first is the mountain near Aphrodisias, not so far from Ikaria. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dimilinchen/8701584/
Do you have any details of this story? I am also curious now.

at ‘elle’ : Το topic ‘Why the wind, why the wave?’ στο http://www.flickr.com/groups/ikaria είναι φανταστικό. Ξέρεις ρε παιδάκι μου να κάνεις μεγαλειώδεις παρουσιάσεις ας είναι και για ένα απλό πραγματάκι (**στο χάρτη φαίνεται και κάτι άλλο: ότι το μελτέμι που δροσίζει την Αθήνα έρχεται από τη “Μακεδονία”!!!)
at ‘can’ : oh:)) you are one who was really born near the sea! Thank you. I will do as you say.

Tha’t was a great photo! Thank you Can. Looks like a very mystic place. However, I followed the link under the photo and in that info page there was a map where I saw that this mountain is too far to the south to be able to ‘regulate the weather’ in the central Aegean.
I was always suspicious at this expression. How can a mount regulate the weather. What I know is that if mountains do something about the weather, is that they ‘tell the weather’, not regulate it.
So I think this Baba dag and the weather was a ‘fisherman’s tale’. Seems like my good great grand uncle just wanted to make an impression. Those were times when the islands turned their face to the east and not to the west as it is today. Today I often hear people say “it rained in Athens so it might rain in Ikaria too”! The distance between Ikaria and Attica is over 200 n.miles, as long as it is between Ikaria and Baba Dag!
It would be better if they looked carefully at the sky, or get a detailed weather forecast. But people just want to make everything as simple as possible, don’t they?
Thanks for giving my friend two seashells full of wind for her ears. I am tired of seeing her with hanging wires and earphones!

Time to get out of the water. It may not just be a shadow and light effect. At this late time of the day the meltemi reaches a peak and huge waves rise one on top of the other.
See this map larger here. The best ever!
Spiral winds…

As dark and cloudy as it gets, the harder to take pictures. The photoflash creates weird color effects in the foreground. However, the surfers enjoy the low light. It makes the waves look bigger.

“Bodysurfing is the art and sport of riding a wave without the assistance of any buoyant device such as a surfboard or bodyboard. Bodysurfers typically equip themselves only with a pair of specialized swimfins that stay on during turbulent conditions and optimize propulsion…” Read more about bodysurfing in the Wikipedia. There you will learn some interesting technical terms too. For example, what I like to call “getting goated” is called “getting tubed”.

If you care for my opinion, I think this is a Succesful Symbol for the Rolling Wave and for the rider as well.
