La Plancha De Vela

The Spanish phrase "la plancha de vela" translates to "windsurfing" in English. To remember this, think of a "plancha" as a "plank" or "board," which is perfect because windsurfing involves gliding on a board. Now, imagine a pirate named Captain Vela who loves nothing more than catching the wind and surfing the seas with his trusty sail. "Vela" means "sail" in Spanish, so picture Captain Vela balancing on his plancha, catching the breeze, and yelling, "Ahoy, I’m off to catch the wind!" Whenever you think of windsurfing, let Captain Vela and his adventurous spirit remind you of "la plancha de vela." 🏄‍♂️
