We have had the last few days of wind here now before we fly home Monday, what a trip! I'll let the photos do the talking.
Starting with...fuel for the windsurfing! Ha ha!
Pupuya and Chorillos: Cross on, head to overhead sets and windy! I have been practising my riding and backloops.
Roca Cuadrada: This session was really light, especially on the wave! It was unexpected and fun though which is always the best way to have a session!
Topocalma, the day everyone was looking forward to for the previous week. A good 19s period 2.9 metre swell coming. It turned out to be a little bit of a let down for Topocalma, it wasn't classic barrelling lefts and sunshine to the horizon. Sea fog had crept in making it look more like a big Gwithian UK grey day! Still the waves were a good size (they grew bigger through the day), and were trickier to read than peeling lefts. It was really hard work, gusty and the wind ranged from 3-35knots, just where you needed to take the wave! The last three pictures are unknown, Victor and Klass.
After Topocalma, we scored a great session at Roca Cuadrada with the building swell. I was a little underpowered on 4.2 and the wind was really light on the wave making riding tricky, but the waves were perfect barrelling lefts. We sailed until sunset and had such a good time we didn't stop to take photos, neither of us wanted to stop sailing! I did take this shot at the end though, stoked for the windsurfing, Chile, and this amazing trip!
Here are a couple of shots of Matanzas, it has some beautiful sunsets! I only managed to capture the pink sky though... The next 3 days have some good swell so we should have a nice surfy end to the trip! There is also a Chile video coming soon, a K4 harness mount video and a good crash video from Stef, all of which will have to be uploaded when we are home as the internet is too slow here!
Keep it secret, we dont want crowded waves ...
