Playa de Vargas

A few weeks ago I was shooting in Vargas with Philip Köster and the guys of Boards magazine, who were testing the champions gear, it was such a good experience and we ended up having a couple of really nice shots, which you will see at the Autum/Winter issue of the magazine, of course I'm not publishing those pictures here, but I also could take some shoots from some of the locals who were sailing early morning that saturday, it was a pitty, Fernando, one of the most classic riders of the island, left tho see the F1 before the group shot.

NO stress

Pozo Izquierdo is starting to look like summer and according to the forecast should keep getting better and better for the next few days.

Happy birthday Philip!

Here you have some unpublished photos taken during the last few months in Gran Canaria, as windsufing magazines doesn't seem very interested in them, I'll keep posting here some of the best shots I've been taking lately.

Of course, you can see some of my favorite pictures at my website: www.danimiquel.com

New move?

Checking back the unedited pictures from the last monts I found this one from Philip Köster, that doesn't look like any of the jumps I know, maybe a new jump?

I know this picture looks like kind of a pushloop-tabletop, but it was a downwind rotation, so definitely not a pushloop variation.

Philip Köster

Most of you have seen Philip in videos or at Pozo Izquierdo last year, during the competition and you think he is an amazing windsurfer; but I tell you, what you have seen is nothing, go to Vargas and watch him sailing in front of his house, that's another level.

Evening

just fun

I love when I'm having a photo session and see the guys having fun, everything comes together when that happens.
