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.

Check out the second part of my highlights of this last winter in Canary Islands. Every time I surf here I realize how lucky I am to have such a good training camp with amazing waves and so great riders. Can’t wait to see the new season start to get back on training and to get some new footages.

Thanks to Elements Prod for editing  and to all the guys that have been filming for this clip…

2016 QUEMAO CLASS

 

 

2016 QUEMAO CLASS

 

The QUEMAO CLASS is an invitation event of 32 surfers and 32 bodyboarders selected from all over the world for their qualities in reef waves. It happens in Lanzarote island (Canarias) taking place in La Santa on the famous spot El Quemao in early January 2016. On this event both surfers and bodyboarders compete on the same wave, on the same contest with two draws: one for surf and the other for boogie. I am happy and proud to win this 2016 Quemao Class edition : all the riders are so dedicated and the level is really impressive !
