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.

Stars & new talent

Still waiting for waves, but nice windsufing session yesterday afternoon at Pozo Izquierdo.

Victor and the moon

Victor Fernandez having a late evening session with the full moon in Pozo Izquierdo as a warm up for the days to come.

Old pictures

Just found thesse two scans from old slides; the one from Francisco Goya must be from 1999 or 2000 and the one from Victor Fernandez 2003 or 2004.

I'm back

After 75 days away from Pozo, 68 of them spent out at sea, I'm back at home in Pozo Izquierdo, here you have a few shots from my last session just before leaving.

Secret spot (1)

Small conditions this weekend with an unusual wind direction, so we had to move to find the right spots for the conditions.

Drops on the lens

After years and years with drops only ruining great whater shots, finally, yesterday for the first time in my life as a photographer, a few drops not only didn't ruin the picture, but gave it something special otherwise wouldn't have had, and turned an average shot into something, framing the picture and giving the sensation of a bigger wave, or at least that's my opinion.

On fire !!!!

The boards Victor is using in Gran Canaria look soo good, yesterday during a forward loop coming in, really close to the shore, I had the perfect chance to take a picture of the board, but suddently the tail of the board went on fire !!!!
I guess that means I still can't show you the last prototypes from Sebastian Wenzel.

Vargas

Yesterday afternoon the wind was too gusty at Pozo Izquierdo and waves were perfect for a playmobil, so I went to Vargas with Aleix Sanllehy and Victor Fernandez, and just when whe arrived there, everybody was going out of the water, they were sailing in 4,0-4,2 with some fun waves, but just dropped (the wind and the waves), we decided to go anyway (Victor with 4,7 and Aleix with 4,5) it was a fun windsurfing session and we had the beach to ourselves.

Victor Fernandez is in town

I was checking the conditions this afternoon at Pozo Izquierdo to decide if I was going to take pictures or not, and as it was nearly flat I decided to try Vargas, but when I turned arround Victor Fernandez was just behind me, with his new gerar and a smile ear to ear, so I decided to go in too, and somehow conditions got better and ended up being such a fun session.

Happy birthday !

¡¡¡Feliz cumpleaños Víctor!!!

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
