Tarifa

Mittwoch, 03. Februar 2010

For more Levant I went to Tarifa. At the Club Mistral there have been just 12 knots, so I went to Playa Chica and started surf there. With a well (over-)powered 4.7 and my new board I was surfing there till the harbor police came – porbably we can see the big ferry and it should not be dangerous…

The board was quite easygoing and I really could play around with it – but the wind was quite strong and gusty so I didn’t train something…

Nice washing

After going out with Krische and Raki in Granada, I’ve went to El Palmar on saturday, but it was already dark so I couldn’t go out.

Sunday have been quite big waves, and with my mini malibu surfboard I hardly could escape the shore. 3 times out I got only one wave (and sadly very late) but i was an amazing feeling when I’ve surfed it while behind-sidewards face-high whitewater was coming :)

It’s quite harder than I’ve expecterd – but fun!

Bolonia with wicked waves

Two days with awesome waves in Bolonia! First session 1.5-2.5 meter waves from the set and a nice first time in breaking waves with wind from left. Well-powered with 4.7.

good to be back again after the best session till now in Tarifa

Next day 4.2 and even more swell. But strangely enough I navigated worse and I could hardly reach some waves.

Krische unfortunately ripped his tail

Good that I’ve waited the whole summer for such conditions in Tarifa :D

on board again

Wednesday I took my splint of the 3rd finger down. Today I was windsurfing again with Tarifa low wind conditions.

It was really good to be on the board again and I didn’t had much problems with the finger!

I finished a nice run with a power duck jibe.

last run for a longer time cause I broke my middle finger:

there was this shark and there was a child….

finger

No, I had my finger in between the door when levante closed it ;P

No more surfing for a long time! Due the surf brake a went up to Portugal Guincho.

Nice hang loose and good impressions for wave riding. But it’s hard the be there with good conditions when u can’t get out.

Levante is back

but only for short. I’ve tried to do the frontloop. I’ve really respect to it and today I could do some advance. It’s hard to begin, I’ve started the rotation, but I’m still to distanced to initiate it with enough power. I guess this needs time.

I also could improve my jumping. Today was the first time I could say that my sail was enough horizontal that I could recognize a lift through the sail:)

After that my boom front end was broken. The claw of the North iFront broke. Of course at the end of the seaside way! But fortunately I have an additional rope on my harness!

I could fix it with the rope so far that I could come back:)
