South surfing
We just had a few days of good waves at the South of Gran Canaria, for once I surfed all I could instead of taking picutres, so here you have some shots from previous seasons.

El Fronton invitational
One day the world will discover how amazing this wave is, but not this time. The competition was spectacular, the riders did an awesome job, and for sure the conditions were wild, really wild, but more for the wind than for the size of the wave, not small by any means, that for sure, but not the huge perfection most of us were expecting for this location, maybe next year.

Juan Grande
One of the good things of living in a round shaped island is that no matter what direction the wind is blowing, it's always a spot with the right orientation for windsurfing; Juan Grande was the spot today.

Galdar
With wind from the South-East, Galdar looked like a good option for a windsurfing session, the wind never came in, but the surf session wasn't bad at all.

Chocolate factory
Yesterday, after the heavy rains the previous night, the sea was looking like chocolate, but conditions were good for windsurfing, so we went in the water anyway, of course.
Today the water is blue again, and windsurfing conditions are still good for sails in the 5 - 5,3 range.

South-West wind
Right now, we have moderate wind from the South-West, usually this direction is too gusty in Pozo Izquierdo, but perfect at Juan Grande, where I've been told they're windsurfing now.
Is coming

Sunset
The sunset this evening was absolutely amazing, I have no picutures because I was in the water, surfing at Los Muellitos, it was small but nice, with a light offshore breeze and one of the most spectacular skys I've ever seen, and from the water I think is the most amazing place to watch a sunset.
