Tarifa, the place to be

October 17th, 2007

On Monday I went to Tarifa and had a funny session with the gustiest Levante (East-Wind) in Valdevaqueros ever! Davey Blair who happened to come over to Spain for two days and I went for some moves before the conditions got unridable. On Tuesday I met up with Kim, Mario, the local crew and a bunch of German riders at “Balneario”. This is the most radical and beautiful spot here, Offshore wind, flat water and rocks, no rescue boat. Alex Pastor was on with some serious Kiteloop Handlepasses, Youri looped the shit out of his Revs on a surfboard and Kim showed some high profile Nuclear Frontroll to blinds in his bindings. All in all a fun session! At the end of the day I had to go back to Marbella, but tomorrow I’m on my way to Tarifa again, this time to stay there for a week or more.

In Tarifa

February 25th, 2007

Didn’t know where to go next, had a spontaneous moment, so I just packed my stuff and off I went to Tarifa! Live in house of Alvaro Onieva here, we go skate and train together every day, came here on Thursday, was way to strong for my 13m but looked light so it was up to Big Air Style for a couple of minutes with Mallory, Julien and Alex, on friday big waves began to roll in, we kited with 11m using the 2-3m waves as kickers, yesterday the sun came out and the wind dropped a bit, but still enough for 13m and big waves again! Happy to be in Tarifa, the wind is so constant compared to Marbella! Today the wind is light again, maybe I’ll go back to Marbella tomorrow and pray for some serious gusty winds!
