A week in Lanzarote






Had some amazing days at Lanzarote this week.
Call my two friends from Germany and Suisse to come, Sebastian Steudtner and Valentin Rossi(photo bellow).
We got there and waves were giant, but we couldn't get the outer reef we expected to surf, as is a long walk and paddle.
Might need to bring the jetski there, as mine was broke after many month not using it.
We surf a lot San Juan(video bellow), and La Santa.
Had one great waves in this spot, barrel, carve and air..felt like a grom..

Nazare storys...

I did wrote about Peniche the day after Hercules hit.This is a bit of what happen the first day, the big monday.
What we were trying to do was have bigger pwc than my 2 strokes.
But We will go through this situation buying a big pwc and we know already how to have all the logistic done.
But even if we could had the pwc that afternoon, not sure we had could be able to ride a giant storm monster and more than that 17:10 in the afternoon with a sunset at 17:30.

Weekend between France and Spain

My plans was go to the Hossegor contest with my friends and than go try Belharra paddle next day, last  sunday..
Things start to change when my first wave at "la Nord Hossegor" i did a crazy wipe out on the take off(could be one of my best barrels in France wave if i made it).The wave suck me back and trough me right to the sand on my butt.
Stretching my legs.
I did the heat and qualifing to the final, but could not put my wetsuit without pain, and decided not to go.
Went to Francois Liets house(Billabong adventure man and friend ), and as we was checking the forecast to Belharra i received a email from Gary Linden to compete at the Punta Galea contest.
I decide to go there and pass Belharra, even with could be one of the best paddle session ever.
Slept really bad with a lots of pain in my hind quarters , junction to the body and start to get the road taking pain killers pills.
I arrived to the contest dark still and twiggy Baker.
He definitely line up as fast as every one else the hard Punta Galea Line up, getting many waves every heat.
My side , i only get one and lost my board.
Congrats to Twiggy!

Nazare line up

I saw this shot and i was think how hard is to catch a wave in NAzare paddling.
Most of the big waves around the world , has one perfect line up.
But Nazare as a beach break, come from everywhere and sometimes, you need to be lucky to be on the right spot.
