Well, my hopes of bad conditions in order to take a full day of rest were sure fulfilled today.
As usual, when most of the readers will see the photos will go:"what the hell is he talking about?!?"
Guys, I know that this would have been epic for most of you.
But:
- these are the best sailors in the world and make it look good also when it's not.
- I'm not most of you and I'm extremely spoiled and picky (and in need of a rest).
Hookipa looked horrible the whole day for my taste. Strong wind, huge chop, shapeless waves. I had a 9 out of 10 session the day before, why bother with a session I knew EXACTLY was going to be a 1 out of 10?
So I took a bunch of photos instead. Here's the two best ones.
 |
| Mark Angulo was in form with his Mutant thing. |
 |
| beautiful tweaked aerial by Browsinho back in Maui after a South Africa trip |
Chronological order from now on.
 |
| Kai bottom turn |
 |
| a professional ocean athlete |
 |
| Browsinho's backloops are now in my top three favorites together with Francisco Goya's and Nico's. I really like his style. |
 |
| Ferdinando's reef tattoo. It was very shallow at low tide. |
 |
| Bernd |
 |
| Japanese sailor Masa sailed extremely well. A couple of times he looked like Keith! |
 |
| the goiter machine (AKA as Browsinho) |
 |
| Francisco Porcella |
 |
| Mark |
 |
| Bernd |
 |
| Mark |
 |
| And Mark |
Tomorrow there's a large swell on the rise but the wind will keep cranking so it will be very choppy again. I have no expectations whatsoever about tomorrow.
Nonethelss, I do see some potential epicness in the immediate future. That's a good feeling.

It's awesome to have the posibility not to sail those conditions..seen from Europe they look like heaven on earth.
