This weekend Loftsails rider Ben van der Steen (NED-57) offered a slalom clinic at Fuerteventura. Cutre Windsurf Center, distributor for Loftsails in the Canary Islands, was present.
The clinic was a complete success and everybody got some great tips on tunning, racing, and jibing. We all had a great time rigging and sailing with all the pros who were training for the PWA event.
Here a some photos, but you can checkout the entire album here.
There is a high winds and waves alert in effect from today until Saturday directly affecting Pozo Izquierdo…. wind gusts of up to 75 km/h and 3 meter waves. Today and tomorrow may be epic… let’s see who will go in the water and survive…
Here is a short video with some highlights of Day 1 at the PWA 2012 Pozo Izquierdo Event (Wind & Waves Festival) we recorded during the day.
(NOTE: Audio is on its way….)
Keneth Danielsen (D38) stopped by the shop to show us the new 2013 F2 Barracuda wave board.
The main difference with the 2012 model is the addition of a 5 slot box which makes it one of the most versatile waveboards in the market, as you can configure it in a Quad, Twin or Thruster configuration.
We are about to receive a batch of these boards which this year come in 72, 77, 84, 92, and 100 litres. So you will be able to test them.

Here is a video of Ricardo Campello (v111) yesterday afternoon training high and hard in Pozo’s tough conditions…
