Full moon & good swel for a big riding

Gran Canaria, El Fronton- El Agujero – Feb,2023

RIDING UNDER THE MOON INFLUENCE

A rider depends on Mother nature. So that the wind, the streams and even the moon have an influence on tides and waves.

During the period of full moon, the lunar attraction on earth is stronger. it sometimes causes changes in the swell that gets more powerful. It is the opportunity for me to enjoy the barrels in endless sessions, even late until sunset. Then, as this is coming, the sky takes on colors of fire. Then it gives way to a red blood moon in a deep dark sky.

In such conditions, El Agujero or El Fronton are the two favorite places to do scales, like a musician on a keyboard. During these long sessions, I advise to hydrate regularly to avoid cramps. After the effort, don’t forget a good stretching exercice to easily recover.

MY TRIBUTE TO EL FRONTON – video

Gran Canaria, Galdar – 2021

OBSESSION, EL FRONTON

Every morning, when I wake up I see by my window El Fronton, my neighbourg, at the bottom of the seascape.

I take the binoculars to see how the wave behave.

This incredible wave is one of the most dangerous spot in the World.

Some people would say it is my Obsession… I would probably agree.

But, it is a sane obsession that makes me stronger and aware,
that makes me realise the beauty of Mother nature.

PREPARING MY BODY & MIND

If I want to be able to ride this wave at my best level, I must be at the best physical and mental level.

For this, I need a severe discipline. By having the most healthiest routine, I stay alert to watch the beast’s awakening.

Enjoy this awesome clip that mixes amazing footages of riding and discover my daily training.

You can see that I am not exhausted in training. I am regular, competitive and I progress day after day.

Every time I ride these majestic and powerfull waves,

I realize how lucky I am to be here,

I celebrate the beauty of the ocean.
All my body and my senses are awakened.

A FILM TO CALL FOR FREEDOM

Canary Islands – Winter 2020-2021

LIGHT UP INTO DARKNESS

This video is maybe the most engaged I have ever published.
Life has been a bit weird over a year 2020 – 2021 and, for me, it’s hard to believe that the global situation has been just about bad luck.
Everyone has his own concept of freedom but, to me, this includes individual liberty and freedom of expression.

MORE THAN A BODYBOARD CLIP

I had a vision in my mind that I wanted to expose but I did not know where to start and how to illustrate it.
I wanted to do something special regarding what we are living today, in a COVID world context.
Something deeper than a simple bodyboarding clip.
The best thing I could do was to talk with an editor that could turn this vision into a video that would spread my vision to the world.

A TRIBUTE TO THE OCEAN & FREEDOM

The stars of the video are the best waves on the last winter season 2021-2021 in Canary.
They too will show you the intensity of the emotions I feel and the magnificence of nature.
I am a freedom-loving rider, and I defend it for all of humanity.

Bodyboard Addict 2020-2021

Gran Canaria – Winter swells – 2020,2021

I AM A BODYBOARD ADDICT

While the world is closing borders for health reasons,
as we cannot run the seas to surf unknown waves,
the bodyboarding addicts need their shoot of motivation.

The swell have been generous during 2021-2021 winter time in Gran Canaria.
Many films were shot during this period on my home spots in Galdar.
In all weather, in extreme conditions, there are « crazy » people who watch the riders in waves and film new images.
Christian Antunez is one of those water-videastes and he has filmed and edited this video.

ADRENALINE & MOTIVATION

You will enjoy adrenaline and motivation comping through these highlights in my favourite playground, down my house.

I love riding these waves, every one is a new momentum, a new impetus, a new thrill and a new game… as is life.
LIFE IS BODYBOARD !

Action & Resilience – video – 2020

Gran Canaria & Chile – Waves, daring, falls, exploits – 2019 & 2020

MOTIVATION AND RESILIENCE

Resilience : in physics, value characterizing the impact resistance of a metal.

Waves, reef, beach breaks, slabs… sometines a wave can be as hard as metal.

Resilience : in psychology, ability to overcome traumatic shocks.

Being resilient means being able to bounce back and rebuild after a difficult time.

Bodyboarding is an extreme sport that exposes the rider to risks, choices, shocks, falls and the need to get up.

PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES

Being a bodyboarder asks you to push yourself, feel confident, hold on, never give up.

While some people seem to possess this strength in an innate way, it is never too late to learn to mobilize one’s vital momentum.

Whether you are a rider, a competitor and just a human, you will need resilience at least once in your life…

RESILIENCIA is a film full of motivation, adrenaline, action, conscience and resilience.
The waves force me to be always ready, attentive and focused and to feel both strong and humble.

2019-2020 KEEP IT UP ! Winter waves in Gran Canary

Winter 2019 – 2020 – Galdar ,Gran Canaria

Big swell and high sensations

On my playing ground, in Galdar – Gran Canaria, winter offers strong waves in perfect riding conditions.
I can enjoy the daily swell coming from the Atlantic ocean. The water temperature is quite stable around 20° and the morning sun offers the ideal light.
I am really found of this place where I am living, with the mountain of Galdar and the cliffs falling in the sea.
Enjoy ALL this video : the waves and my tricks, of course.
But don’t miss the water purity and transparency, the caress of the sun’s rays, the sky and the whole nature.
And the feeling of freedom just down my house.
Then, keep it up !

2019 – Emotion on a Secret wave

At Lazarote – On a secret and sad spot

2019 CANDY BARRELS

IN MEMORIAM

I WANT TO EDIT THIS VIDEO AS A TRIBUTE TO SANTIAGO CRUZ LUIS.

I am just on the way for a nice free bodyboarding session, with my friend Rafa Medina.
After walking pretty much two hours down the hill, we finally arrive closer to THIS secret wave.
This moment has been in my mind for a long time. It took me a long time to share this terrible happening with you.
This day will be remembered as a dark one in the Canarian bodyboarding history.

SOMETHING WRONG

As we are getting closer to the spot, Rafa and I can see a boat in the channel and we firstly think there is someone fishing overthere.
As we arrive at the location, there is no one out, no boat and we imagine it is too dry to surf.

Anyway, I decide to go in the water and while I am getting changed, a girl comes to me saying that I should take care as it is super dry. She tells me that a rider touched the reef just before we arrive.
I go into the water and realise that it is actually extremely shallow so the ride may be impossible or really dangerous.

SOMETHING DRAMATIC

I am surfing for about one hour by myself and as the tide is getting higher more riders arrive as Rafa and few other local guys. Then a man shows up in the line up saying that the rider that has touched the reef few hours before has died from his injury. We are all shocked but we still do not know who is this rider.

When I go back on the beach, later in the afternoon I have like 20 « missed calls » on my phone as people knew I was around.
I finally find out that the rider is Santi, a great bodyboarder from Tenerife. I cannot not believe it.

I remember the sensations I had when I was surfing alone, I was thinking by myself that things happen so fast when Life has decided it is your time to go…

Always in our heart. Ride in peace Santiago Cruz Luis.
