The sandbar

We are having a lot of sand now in Pozo Izquierdo, so I can stand up on the sandbar to take pictures comfortably from the water which is great, because allows me all the control I need for frame and forcus but I can stay really close to the action and have water angle.

Fisheye

I never had a fisheye lens and it's such a werid thing, so I'm having a little bit of practice (and fun) with it shooting my friends on the beach. In the first picture you can see Juan with his Mazinger board shaped by Pablo, the guy in the secon picture, shaper in Pozo Izquierdo, the lovely girl of the last picture is Daida, with a 2012 Starboard.

Old pictures

Just found some scans from some of my old slides, I think they're more or less from 1998-2000

Windy again

I think is been the worse period for windsurfing since I'm living in Gran Canaria, so the session I had this afternoon with 5,3 felt like heaven.

El Yodo (2)

Of course, Daida was there too.

spray

I love sprays, but not all of them, not the ones just pushing your back foot at the end of a crappy top turn but the pure carving ones, the ones coming from true rail to rail surfing.

secret

We found this place not too far away from Pozo, on a rainy day during the 2008 North Sails photoshoot.

moments before detonation

I love those "in between" moments, where you can put yourself in the place of the rider and imagine what's gonna happen...
