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 !

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.

2017 Puerto Rico – Aguadilla bella

AN ENDLESS TUBE
During my last Amaury Academy in Puerto Rico, March 25,2017, I go for a long free-surf session at the Fountain of Youth, Ramey Base.
In the end of  the afternoon, I have an insane moment of pure pleasure : a long tube that surprised everyone, me and the photographers… Just look until the last seconds.
I love to share my feelings and sensations after such moments with friends.
The waves are incredible and the riders spirit is so strong and engaged. Love you Puerto Rico.

2015- My daily routine during my trip in Australia

A resourcing trip in Oz

Australia, NSW – May 2015

In May as the winter swell is coming in South hemisphere, I leave my training residence in Gran Canaria to fly to Sydney.  I am traveling in solo, for one month in the middle of Mother Nature in New South Wales. No car, just my feet and nice drivers picking up around there.
I enjoy a mix of opportunities to ride many secret spots and the warm welcome by Glen Thurston and his family.

I begin a good job with Agent eighteen signing my new contract for wetsuits.
I appreciate the very good conditions for training, physical and mental balance, with endless surf sessions in the middle of nowhere. I should say in the middle of hidden paradises… with top leveled riders full of daring and talent.
So long Aussies, I will soon be back. Thank you for all the positive energy and spirit you give to me ever.
I am sure that you will inspire me on the new 2015 World tour.
