Coaching with Russell paying off, my forward attempts/crashes are getting softer, meaning more horizontal rotation. To be continued ...

In other news: it's gotten nice and warm! Even mornings are toasty enough to enjoy breakfast outside!

Weed attack in Famara!

The messy Famarian shorebreak was even messier today with all the weed floating around. Tons of it. Ugh!

Strong winds from the South. Famara bolt offshore and gusty, so we went around the island looking for better conditions. In the end, we decided to try in Matagorda. It didn't look like it's gonna be good but we went in anyhow. Turns out, it was a super fun side-on session!

Fantastic day in San Juan! A bit smaller wave than usual which made it even better as I could really go for the lip without being scared of breaking everything (including my kit)! 4 sailors out, perfect number.

Another day of strong southerlies. Note-to-self: always rig big in onshore conditions.

Too small a sail, and too small fins. Was struggling to even get upwind. I'm spoiled by constant offshore conditions and forgot how to rig for onshore :S

Gusty and strong, with small waves, but still super fun. Gosh I cannot believe how good of a board this new Flikka Custom is. I'm just flying upwind and then it turns on a dime when I ask it to.

And yet another side-on day in Matagorda, when Famara is being blasted off.

It was a bit light for a 4.7 but by far the biggest waves this week and the best angle of the wind, so I could have many good turns!

Good conditions, but I did not feel good today, left a bit ill these last few days and today was the worst. My riding was shit.

But then Guillermo started hitting some proper aerials and I couldn't help myself trying a few myself. And any day trying aerials is a good day :)

Another offshore day in Famara, potentially enough wind for windsurfing, but I'm still not feeling well and without any energy, so I rather went for a short surfing sess. Need to rest.

Did not catch many good waves today, only got one good backside hit. Still not feeling entirely well, so I cut the session short.
