Flip side

Despite we had such a good autumn for windsurfing, we can't say the same for the winter so far, so I went to my hard disc to give a second chance to the unselected pictures from the fall sessions.

More pictures

A few more pictures from the past two days, mote to come...

Knee high (part 2)

Backside tail slide

I don't know if they call it different in windsurfing, but in surfing they call this a backside tail slide; from here you can go into a reverse o just put the nose back towards the beach to recover the original position.

The rider in this sequence is Jose Romero.

Knee high (part 1)

Here you have a few more pictures from the freeride session we had this afternoon at Pozo Izquierdo, where the local crew made the most of the mushy knee high waves breaking on the sandbar where I was standing up with my camera (inside de housing, of course), so I did not even had to swim to be where the action was.

More pictures tomorrow.

More photos from last week

A few more pictures form the windsurfing action last week at Las Salinas.
I'll post the ones from the afternoon session tonight.

Black & white

Sometimes you can't choose the light you want for a picture, and noon backlight with a little bit of mist, is not what you usually are looking for if you want bright colors, so if I can't wait for better light (we knew the wind wouldn't last till the afternoon), this is one of the situations I like using black and white.

Pozo Izquierdo from the water

We had a few fun days last week at Pozo Izquierdo and I had a couple of nice sessions taking pictures from the water, this day in particular was a little bit crowded, so I could take a lot of pictures but I also missed some nice shots, I was specially unlucky with Omar Sanchez, who was one of the infrom windsurfers of the session, but beacuse of drops or focus issues, I missed a couple of really good jumps just in front of me.

On the other hand I shooted a really nice sequence from Eleazar Alonso, you can see the sequence here.

Pozo Air Force

Pozo Izquierdo was a little bit crowded today at 9:30 during the improvised shooting we had; some of the best locals were there, great conditions and just friends on the water, so it was good fun, too much fun maybe, for a while they were all jumping over each other, shouting and laughing, I was enjoying the session so much that I even losted a little bit of concentration and I missed a couple of good shots, but there're plenty of nice pictures too, so I'm definitely happy with the session.

The riders were: Julio Franco "Fito", Omar Sanchez, Jose Romero, Aleix Sanllehy, Josep Pons, Pablo Ruiz "Killerfish" and Eleazar Alonso "Ele".

I have a couple of busy days now, but as soon as I can, I'll post all the pictures, a couple of really nice ones, maybe a cover shot from Ele in case a magazine or any of his sponsors are interested.
