About real bad luck 26.04.2010
In a really great windy season at El Yaque Beach 2010, some people surely have been very unlucky. Those who spent the past three weeks in the little village, expecting nothing less than a very high wind quote, had to deal with the worse time of the year, clowdy skies, a little rain and very few wind, just before an european Volcano decided to blow some ash in the air and make those people stay even longer in non windy El Yaque. The Ashclowd disappeared, together with those pretty unlucky people, and the wind is back at full strength
Independance Day 23.04.2010
Around 11.000 people came to celebrate the becentenary independance day of Venezuela, when Simon Bolivar liberated the country from the spanish.

The act took place Thursday morning at the El Yaque Plaza
Flights from Europe 22.04.2010

Kite weeks El Yaque 21.04.2010
Durinmg the past two weeks, the wind regret to blow strongly in El Yaque, the sky was covered by clowds and the first rain of the season came down to the little Village.

Tourists still on hold 20.04.2010
The Ashclowd over Europe still affects most El Yaque tourists as well.

CANOA getting known 18.04.2010
Those people, who never take a walk upwind at the small El Yaque Beach, up to the Kitezone, might still not know the recently opened Restaurant Canoa. To change this situation, the Canoa just started with some nice evening Events with Live Music, Burger Happy Hours and much more. Another nice place you should have checked out during an El Yaque stay
Tourists stucked 17.04.2010
The immense Ash Clowd all over Europe, which was caused by mayor eruptions of the Volcano Eyjafjallajökul at Iceland, affected more countries and their Airports as expected. So far all mayor europian Airports had to be closed and more than 17.000 flights per day cancelled. Tourists who were expecting to leave the Island of Margarita and those who were expecting to start their holidays this weekend at the Caribbean Island are stucked at the airports or had to stay longer at their holiday destination. When exactly the clowd might have disappeared and the Airplanes will be able to leave their actual Airports is still open
Ash Clowd affects also El Yaque 16.04.2010
The immense Ash clowd over northern Europe, produced by the Eruption of an Volcano in Iceland, also affects the tourism in El Yaque. Many northern european Airports have been shut down, no planes landing or departing and so of course also all planes leaving to Venezuela. At one of the mayor travel days for El Yaque, this friday, it is still not clear if the airplanes will leave the european airports or not. The Ash clowd is still moving south and so even more countries and airports might get affected. An Airtraffic Chaos like this has never happened before in history
Medical Center 14.04.2010
The El Yaque Medical Center is finally working again. A New Doctor will be available at the "Ambulatorio" at the El Yaque Mainroad, next to the elementary school.

A proper touristical place 12.04.2010
El Yaque is surely well known as one of the windiest places during wintertime and a touristic place for wind addicts only. Year after year right after the easter week, when party crowds and most Wind and Kitesurfers have left the Village, El Yaque shows its second face. With the summer getting closer, the days longer and even more sun throughout the day, the colours seem to change much more caribbean like, the few people taking sunbathes in the morning and Windsurf or Kitelessons in the afternoon make people feel like in a proper touristical place, very much enjoyable, quiet and for easy cruising windsports.
Margarita Wildwinds 2010 11.04.2010
After the Wildwinds revival in 2009, the 2010 Windsurf and Kitesurf Competition in El Yaque is coming closer and so the official Margarita Wildwinds website just went online for all Information about the Pro Am Contest www.margaritawildwinds.com
El Nino - part II 10.04.2010
Already in December El Yaque News reported about the weather phenomenon El Nino, which usually ocuures every 4 to 5 years, when the water surface of the Caribbean Sea doesn´t warm up as much as normal and wind same as water currents change and cause droughts at the eastern part of Southamerica and Central America. Now Metereologists started to talk about a second type of the El Nino, caused by global warming and coming from the eastern pacific ocean towards the caribbean. The actual weather situation in latin America seems to proof that theory, with changing weather now in april, hard rainfalls at both coasts, the west and east coast, floods in Ecuador, Chile but also Brasil and Venezuela. El Yaque lives under a clowd cover already for almost two weeks, which doesn´t let a normal wind come through and has hardly been seen before
From high to low 07.04.2010
As a touristic place certainly El Yaque has to deal with various high and low seasons. The change from very high Season during Semana Santa, where every single room at the Island of Margarita seems to be overbooked, to low season right after the easter week is a very drastic one. From one day to the next the people vanished and only vew Wind and Kitesurfers remain at the now large looking beach. Usually it lasts around two months before the national tourists decide to come back to their Island and to fill up the hotels. Lower flight and Hotel prices now bring more european tourists back to El Yaque for a couple of weeks, right before the Margarita Wildwinds assure another high season week
The Kite Corner 06.04.2010
Besides the daily news, 1498 El Yaque News is always up to inform about the Village and the people living and working in El Yaque. Today it is all about the Core kitesurf Center Pro Kitegua :
In the Kitesurf Corner, the launching area for the Kitesurfers, a small Kitesurfer Center opened his doors in 2007 and since than kept on growing. Pro Kitegua, the Core Kitesurfcenter now not only provides Kitesurf Lessons and Supervisions,Daytrips for Kitesurfers, Travels to Los Roques, Canaima and Tortuga and the Pro Kitegua Shop have become part of the still growing business
The Semana Santa Resume 05.04.2010
It is THE week of the year, people in and outside El Yaque talk about the famous Semana Santa all year long. Some like it, others really don´t like it and for some it is just also THE business of the year. The first very full Semana Santa weeks have been in the years 2003 and 2004, when El Yaque was pushed to be the number one Party place for the easter week. What followed was pure chaos also in the years after, with way too many people and cars for the tiny little village. Now, with soem years of experience, some things have changed, much more parking lots, a second exit road, the military observing the Beaches and the private security service making a really good job. Already in 2009 a little less people had come to visit El Yaque for the mayor parties and in 2010 again less people drove their way down to the very south of the Island of Margarita. Only at the Shampam, El Yaque Paradise and Cafe Local Bars the party has been celebrated, mostly after 5 p.m. while in previous years it last all day long. Possibly the Wind and Kitesurf Centers will not even be forced to close their gates during the easter week in the future
Semana Santa is Shampam ?? 04.04.2010
The easterweek "Semana Santa" used to be THE Party week of the year. Already in 2009 more and more families instead of Party people came to El Yaque Beach to enjoy a week at the Beach, watching the Wind and Kitesurfers. In 2010 the Party is located at one point, the Shampam Bar rocks the Beach together with Venezuelas Top DJ´s like Hip Hop DJ Colly, DJ Ele, DJ Nano, DJ Vic. Mendez and Shampam Owner DJ Irak and the who is who of Venezuela move their hips to the beats together with the rest of the crowds
Cartagena Kite Contest 03.04.2010
One more time the El Yaque wind athletes prooved why they are considered some of the best in the world. Top Kiteboarder Aquiles Zabala, who was sent to the Colombian Kitesurf Competition in beautiful Cartagena by the Shampam Bar, Solokite Shop and the Margarita Extreme Kitecenter, paid it all back by winning the Freestyle Category . With not too strong winds and some small winds Zabala managed to perform at his best and leave his opponents behind
Stucked 02.04.2010
What would be the best to do after a long day at the Beach with quite some alcohol an lots of music and party ? Stucked in the traffic might not be what people think of exactly after a sunny Beachday and only hours before the Party continues in the City of Porlamar, but that´s normal Semana Santa life at the entire Island. The Security service and police working extra hours to avoid chaos as much as possible, some people partying in the traffic while others try hard to find new ways out of El Yaque, by destroying some of the nature and it has all just begun. Between friday and sunday it will be the peak of the Party and chaos week.
New Restaurant 01.04.2010
At the end and very windward side of El Yaque, right in front of the Kite launching area, a new Restaurant has just been opened two days ago. With the CANOA another nice Restaurant can be visited in the little village. The exquisite ambience right at the Beach surely will be a very good place for lunch or dinner while watching the Kitesurfers flying in front of customers eyes
Nuclear festivities 31.03.2010
No secret, el yaque has been windy the entire season, very windy. But what´s happening at the moment exactly during the easter festivities is somehow spectacular. Hauling winds, flying sand and water and Party tourists who can´t blame their balance problems only on their consum of alcohol. Even for the wind addicted tourists the actual windspeeds are kind of too strong and other Locations than El Yaque are being researched and checked for a little less wind and more fun, while the El yaque Pro Sailors just enjoy those windforces for their own show right in front of the party crowds
Yaqueros bring home the Cups 30.03.2010
All El Yaque Pro and Amateur Windsurfers went to Puerto La Cruz on the venezuelan Mainland for the past weekend, where another national Windsurf Cup took place.

Semana Santa predictions 29.03.2010
The predictions for the Semana Santa given out by the national tourism board show that this easter week might become one of the most crowded so far for the Island of Margarita and the fully booked Ferries, Airplanes and the chaos at the Ferry ports and Airports already that early of the easter holidays could be the proof the predictions might come true
1498 Pics of the week 29.03.2010

Semana Santa - the Party locations 28.03.2010
Slowly the Easter holiday week has already started, with the ferries and airplanes completely booked out and the beaches seeing more people than usual. Within the next two days the PArty week should start at full throttle, also in El Yaque, but where to go ? Actually the entire beach will be one big Party Scene, but especially the Sharks Bar, The Cafe Local, The Ipanema Chill Out and of course the VIP Shampam Bar will hold some mayor Events during the week
1498 at Isla Coche 27.03.2010
El Yaque News went to the Isla of Coche for a couple of days, to newly explore the beauty of also this venezuelan Island in the Caribbean. Surely regarding watercolours, the beaches, the style of the hotels and the people one can feel the caribbean feeling indeed. What can´t be missed at Isla Coche is the big amount of Kitesurfers of course. Not only the El Yaque Kitecenters go to the San Pedro Bay for Day Trips, many Kitesurfers and Pro Riders decided to stay for a little longer at the perfect Flatwater Spot in front of the Coche Kitesport Center. Even for non watersport enthusiastics the Island is alwways worth a short visit
Pre Easter activities 24.03.2010
Roads get repaired or even built, Beaches cleaned, parking places built and enlarged, little Snack Bars moved to almost each Corner of El Yaque and the small Supermarkets, the Bodegones, filled up until the Roof with fresh Beer and Tons of Rum.

Joy and hassle with the hauling winds 22.03.2010
Windspeeds of 35 knots and more were measured the past days in El Yaque, the water was flying and the Kite and Windsurfers pushed to their limits. Most Riders surely enjoyed the power of insanely moving air, while others tried to get on the Boards in the early morning hours, where the wind still was a bit more forgiving. The Softball players of the second El Yaque Softball tournament which took place on sunday same as the owners of various Restaurants certainly had some problems with Balls flying in very weird curves and Plates moving on the tables. March has always been one of the strongest wind month in El Yaque and so it is also in the 2010 Season.
Second Road for El Yaque 21.03.2010
On time for the Party week, the Semana Santa, which will start within a few days again and bring thousands of national tourists into the small village, a second main road is under construction to minimize the mayor traffic jams which usually occur each day not only the Semana Santa but also at the peaks of the national holiday seasons. In future the main road will be used as entrance and the new second road as exit of El Yaque
1498 at Coche Island 20.03.2010
The Storm Alert for Venezuela came true, hauling winds and a decent swell also hit the Coastlines of Isla Margarita and El Yaque, while also the Kiteboarders at the famous Isla Coche Kitebeaches had to fight with their smallest Kites. Very fast Windspeeds also built some Waves along the Beaches at Isla Coche, while 1498 El Yaque News visited the Island opposite of El Yaque
El Yaque goes Colombia 18.03.2010

The Shampam Bar, The Solokites and Slim Shop and the Margarita Extreme Kitesurf Center came together to make the Trip for Zabala and Carrillo possible
El Yaque Construction Side 17.03.2010
While Investments in Venezuela have slowed down dramatically in some parts of the country, El Yaque is just living kind of a constructions boom. In the none touristic part, the "Zona Residencial", many new constructions have started in the past two months and thousands of squaremeters of land been sold. The small village seems still be interesting and just keeps on growing
Storm and Wave Alert 16.03.2010
For the venezuelan Coastlineincluding the caribbean Islands of Venezuela a storm and big wave alert was given out for the next weekend. The strong winds and mayor swell could arrive at the coasts already on thursday. What makes normal sunbathing toursits nervous certainly puts some neverending smiles into Wind and Kitesurfers faces. Not always those alerts really come true and end up in a quite disappointing small swell with for El Yaque normal windspeeds, but still the forecasts looks pretty solid and the action on the water could become a little more extreme in the next couple of days
Talent Zabala 15.03.2010
One of the biggest talents in Windsurfing El Yaque had in his short windsurfing history surely was Alexis Zabala, one of the young guns in Freestyle, who moved his sails with the Sailnumber V 41 in front of the crowds of various international Competitions and Worldcups, before he decided to stopp competing and work at his home place, El Yaque. In December Alexis, nickname "Frijol", opened his own Windsurf and Kitesurf School at El Yaque Beach, the "Frijol Wind and Kitesurf". Still he can be seen almost daily on the water, performing the latest Freestyle Moves in perfection
White Party 14.03.2010
Saturday night - Party night, so it is also in El Yaque, where each Saturday not only the Beachbars serve the tourists and locals.

Kite - and Windsurf Sunset Festival 13.03.2010
The Margarita Extreme Kitesurfcenter together with the Shampam Bar and DJ Irak organized a nice Sunset Windsurf and Kitesurf Festival at the Margarita Extreme Kitesurf center.

Freshwater in Trucks 11.03.2010
It´s always good to be trained. For many years the El Yaque Freshwater was supplied by Trucks, no waterpipeline really worked and the hotels, and private houses had to call for water when needed. In the early morning and also throughout the day it looked a little weird when one truck after the other went into El Yaque to fill up the reservoires. The cause is the broken pipeline between El Yaque and Porlamar which needs to be fixed quickly. After the extreme drought in Venezuela througout the entire year, freshwater is not something you might want to loose and just spray onto the roads and the water trucks are not the cheapest neither, but at least the supply works very well and nobody needs to miss a nice shower after coming back from the salty sea
Mountain Bike Challenge in El Yaque 10.03.2010
The 28th of March a very unique Challenge will take place in, or better close to, El Yaque : The Killer Mountain Challenge !

After a Pro Massage for all Riders after their rides, the King of the Hill will be crowned at the "La Chiva Loca" Restaurant at El Yaque Beach. 1498 will report about the Event, of course !!
Heat Waves 09.03.2010
A tropical Heat Wave heat the coasts and land of the Island of Margarita during the past days and nights. The high pressure zone in the center of the caribbean sea, surrounded by an army of low pressure zones interrupted the Tradewinds and send a wave of immense Heat to the southern Caribbean, the wind was paralized for a couple of days which made the heat feel even more intense. Until Tuesday afternoon the weather system should have cleared up to let the Tradewinds pass through and cause some joy not only on the water
Softball Competition 08.03.2010
The daily Softball Training at the El Yaque Softball field, close to El Yaque´s Mainroad, in tha past weeks didn´t pay off for the El Yaque Team. During the Sunday afternoon Softball Tournament between some of El Yaque´s neighbor villages, the closest neighbar of Los Bagres took home the Cup while the freshly created El Yaque Team was standing behind with hands empty. Softball, a direct descendant of Baseball, is played on a shorter field and with a larger Ball than Baseball and is one of Venezuelas most common Sports and now also has arrived at the windy Place of El Yaque
1498 Sunday Report
Sailing to Kite 07.03.2010
Especially for the Kitesurfers the small Village of El Yaque is not enough to explore and for some Kitesurfers a bit too choppy, which makes them explore the entire Island of Margarita and the Isla Coche for some new Spots.
Something completely different indeed are...>>>
Movie night under Palmtrees part II 06.03.2010
For the second time this winterseason the Four Dimension Movie, the latest Windsurf Movie including the two Worldchampions Gollito Estredo and Marcilio Browne and wave Guru Victor Fernandez, was shown at the Shampam Bar under the Palmtrees, but this time producer Andre Paskowski himself was present, answering questions and giving some autographs together with Gollito Estredo
Another Champ is back 05.03.2010
German Andre Paskowski, multiple german and european Windsurf Freestyle Champion, can almost be called El Yaque local. Year after year the blond german producer of the 4 Dimension Windsurf Movie visits El Yaque for his Wintertraing and hang out with his friends such as Gollito Estredo and Ricardo Campello and get prepared for the upcoming seasons. Last week Paskowski arrived again in El Yaque to spend some weeks on the caribbean waters before leaving to Maui / Hawaii
Amount of Streetdogs decreasing 04.03.2010
Streets animals are certainly not a venezuelan problem only, dogs and cats in very bad estates can be found everywhere in the world and so it was also at the Island of Margarita and surely still can, but the number of Street dogs and cats has drastically decreased, thanks to many foreign organisations taking care of those animals, trying to get them decent homes and getting them castrated and sterilized. Still some of the poor animals can be found also in El Yaque sometimes and luckily find their new owners in the windy village
Searching the Flat 03.03.2010
It´s march and as usual, the wind blows harder and harder each day, sometimes too much for some people who are just not used to the strong winds and the more choppy waters. A daytrip to Coche might help out, in only 15 minutes by Boat the Flatwater Spot of the San Pedro Bay can be reached easily, where pure Flatwater is waiting and the wind is not hauling as strong as in El Yaque, surely Isla Coche is always worth a Day Trip. The Kiteboarders have discovered the place already years ago and also many Windsurfing Clinics have been held along the pure white sandy Beaches
