Classic Sunday Charcos, tons of people out, strong wind, fun waves. More please :)

Another day at the beach with the family. Then paddled out to the reef to catch a few waves. Barely doable, sets were too big, too much water moving around.

Went to La Santa first, but the entire bay was closing out. Moved to Famara, where it was not much better but at least there are no rocks. So it was another of those practice days, doing lots of pop-ups and duck-dives. There are worse ways to start off the day :)

Best surfing day!

Almost didn’t go but then Mič convinced me. I got two big and clean waves right off the bat! It got bigger soon, lots of washing :)

My right ear is killing me (infection?), but hey, who can say no to a sunny freestyle session in front of the house? :) More front-loop attempts, still crashing on my back, I've been told I need to be faster with bringing the rig across.

Glassy and huge

Big NW swell, high period and zero wind. What else could I ask for?

Oh I know: a bit bigger cojones :P

Rode a few big ones but they became incresingly scary so then rather took the small ones in between sets. Still overhead!

Looping practice with Mark in light winds and no waves. First some coaching with Russell, then watching Mark doing a couple of nice ones, then get properly slapped a couple of times attempting them. No pain no glory haha :D

Very light wind today so I decided to learn to uphaul on my waveboard. It was surprisingly easy to build a good consistency and I also practiced tacks in almost zero wind. Days like these are just great to build confidence so I dare to go out in marginal conditions but big waves.

Even less wind today so only managed to do one forward loop attempt. On the other hand I did my first switch-stance heli-tack, i.e. the second part of the spock, gotta start working on them!
