The Butterfly Effect Israel celebrates the first ever water women downwinder


The Butterfly Effect aims to capture great moments and to share and inspire women to go for their dreams and live a life that gives back to communities and make the world better one smile at a time. Lastly, we hope to instill self confidence, support, and encouragement to all women associated with this event.

Israel, October 3rd, 2009
The Butterfly Effect announces its first ever all women, water sport event non-competitive in Israel this October. It will be a one-day downwinder of windsurf, kite, SUP, surf, and water sport clinics at North Beach, Eilat. A downwinder means to set out in a distance from one location down the coast to another location. Usually, it is a short mission that is challenging but safe to push the level of women in water sports. All women are welcome from any skill level. It is for free! We are encouraging women to pre- sign up at local surf shops or even better sending an email at butterflyeffectmaui@gmail.com requesting the sign up BE Israel. This event is uniquely designed to promote women in water sports.
Downwinder Details
The downwinder begins from North beach and continues to South beach _(north wind 12-20knots, hot weather, water around 24o.C), with a break at Palm Beach. North Beach is one of the hot spots of Eilat, off shore wind, flat and clear water. Turist aerea with a lot of Hotels, adventures and atractions. The wind usually blows from west direction and it is suggested to bring a sail around 5.0 to 6.0 or kite around 9m to 13m. The distance of the downwind is around 1,5 km from North Beach to Palm Beach and 3,5k m South Beach. For stand-up or paddling any size is fine. It s possible to join the group from North beach or from Palm Beach or being part on the SUP Clinic by Juliana Shelef at North Beach, Club Moadona Shait.

About The Butterfly Effect
The Butterfly Effect began in Hawaii in 2007. Since then it has flown to Brazil, New Zealand, Australia, Germany, Hood River, Dominican Republic, Tahiti and France for group surf sessions, clinics, and downwinders in windsurfing, surfing, stand-up paddling, and kiting. Hundreds of women have already participated in these events. It is always non-competitive and fun! The aim is to instill self-confidence and love for the ocean in women of all skill levels.
Founded by Juliana Shelef (www.windmanas.blogspot.com) and Tatiana Howard (www.tatianahoward), who are avid water women in surf, windsurf, kite, stand-up paddle and tow-in surfing. They have competed worldwide in windsurfing(PWA), but have now taken a different route in these sports to make a difference in the male dominated water sports and to help promote and show how wonderful and gratifying these sports can be for the soul.
