Sumer sems to end :(

2011-08-26T11:47:00.002+02:00

Hei!!! I am enjoing the last days of strong wind and waves without having to go to school. Forcast sais that the wind will stop next week. Havent seen Windguru saing 6 knots for Pozo in about 3 month now. This summer was pretty good actualy, learned some now moves like the goiter and one handed goiter in the wave, Pushloop Tabletop, and I have landed one Pushloop forward. So all in all I am pretty happy with all this.
I leave you some pictures from yesterday in Pozo and the day before in Mosca Point. Hope you like them.
All the Best.

3,4 and overpowered every day

So much sailing....

2011-08-09T11:28:00.004+02:00

Hello to all, I have to say last week was a really good one. I could sail 3,4 most of the days. I learned to land the goiter and onehanded goiter in the wave, so I am pretty staked about that. I really liked the sessions as there where plenty of ramps for jumping and also really nice waves for some Pozo waveriding. The last 2 days the wind was for 4,2 or 4,5. I decided to take two days of break, as the wind is gonna be for 3,4 again the whole week.

Double elimination.

2011-07-22T11:26:00.004+02:00

The double elimination went also quite well, I managed to get till the 17th. place, then Boujmaa Guillol stoped me in a really really close heat. I am back home right now. I have to say I really enjoyed the trip to El Medano, but now I am really happy to be back home at Pozo again. I also want to thank Dani Bruch for the perfect organisation, it was just great. As competition finished before, the days all the PWA crew went to the water park (Siam Park), we also had a golf tournament and we went out for dinner nearly everyday. So all in all it was just a perfect organisation by Dani.
I will go sailing now :D
Will keep you updated

Single elimination...

2011-07-15T21:51:00.002+02:00

This time I am more hapy than I was in Pozo, I had to sail against Flo Jung, the same as in Pozo in the single elimination. This time I managed to pass. THe conditions where quite dificult. We had many sea grass in the waver and it was pretty hard to plain, as it got stuked all the time on the fins. The wind is quite lite in comparation to Pozo, I am using my 4,5 or 4,2 sail and 79 literes. In the moment I am on 17th. Place after the single elimination.

Doble elimination...

2011-07-10T17:48:00.003+02:00

I am pretty disapointed, I did not manage to advance even one heat. In the doble elimination I had so sail against Kai Lenny, but he advanced with a pretty close desition, I won the jumps, but his waveriding was much beter than mine. I was overpowered on my 3,4 and it was imposible for me to do shakas and takas in the wave being so overpowered. I really hope to do beter now in Tenerife...

PWA...

2011-07-06T21:18:00.002+02:00

The single elimination did not went quite well for me this year. My wave riding was quite well with some backside 360 and some takas in the same wave, but I did not quite manage the jumping, as the format was 3 jumps and I only managed to land 2 because I was too overpowered on my smalest sail 3,4. But well... I am quite optimistic and motivated now for the doble elimination, I think and specialy hope I can manage to advance some heats.
Lets see how all goes.

Spanish Championships

2011-07-05T08:43:00.002+02:00

The start of the season went quite well for me. Last weekend we had the Spanish championships in Pozo. On saturday the Juniors had to go on the water, the wind was really lite and the waves where not quite waves, but it was still ok to make some moves. On sunday the wind increased really really much and the men's where run. I became 1st. in the Juniors and 6th in the mens, so its a quite good result for me :)
Today the PWA starts, lets see how all goes.
All the best

Storm...

2011-06-18T21:51:00.006+02:00

This was yesterday, I have to say that I had a really fun time on the water with 3,4. I think it was the strongest day of the whole year till now. Looks like next week it will be the same again for some days.... lets see what happens. I will keep you updated.

Fun!!!

2011-06-02T17:10:00.003+02:00

Finally it seems as if the trade wind would be starting, that means that we will have wid nearly every day till september, so that means that I finaly can update my blog nearly every day again.

Happy Xmas

2010-12-23T17:58:00.002+01:00

Hello people,

sorry for not updating you for sudger long time, but the internet in Gran Canaria in the moment is pretty bad, specialy in my home, so I did not have any internet conection for a long time!!!

We had many starboard tack sessions in the south of the island, so tried to improve my sailing from the other side, but it is pretty hard to do all the things you can do from port tack on starboard tack.

So here I leave you a picture from this summer, with was shot by Dani Miquel, thank you so much for all the great pictures you took this year from me!!! I also want to thank Alfredo and Miguel for all the effort they have done for me and specially to Nayra Alonso, thanks to her I have my clothing sponsor Animal and for the end thank's very much for the big suport to Craig and Karin Gertenbach, Andreas Ernst and Raoul Joa from Fanatic and North Sails, to the whole company of Animal, Jonas from the cutre shop and to the hole team of Al 360, it is just great to be in the team of this brands.

So I wish you all a happy christmas and a very happy new year!!!
Big hug!!!

Hello!!! Yesterday the wind stoped after blowing everyday for 2 and a half month.
Eduardo and me decided to SUP from Pozo till Playa del Ingles. It is exactly 18 and a half km. It was really nice to see the coast from the water, I have seen many places that I did not know that exist on Gran Canaria. We managed to do the 18,5 km in 3 houres. In the week end, we will try to go from Pozo till Faro de maspalomas, it is about 22km. Lets see

Hello!!!
Yesterday we made a competition in vargas. The conditions where incredibble, 3,4 perfect powered and the sets where between logo and mast high. I managed to get into the final together with very good local riders. In the final there where Josep Pons, Jose Romero, Omar Sanchez and me. I landed a dobble forward in the final, the judges gave me 9 points for the dobble. I also landed a nice onehanded backloop, a backloop and a planing frontloop, the warerides where good aswell,I made aereals, onehanded aereals in the wave and nice cutbacks. The results are going to be said today at 3 o´clock, lets see what place I got :)
