MEXICO – Puerto Escondido – 2019 June, 29-30

ZICATELA, THE PLACE TO RIDE

Maybe I was having an intuition about what would be 2020 and 2021 for all of us…
Anyway, with my wife Magdalena we hace decided to travel in Latin America for a long trip from 2019 June to August, with our two kids, Oliver and Nahara.
It was a pretty good idea. People are so lovely, waves are so incredible and nature so generous overthere.
Then I planed my Amaury Academy courses in every  place we have travelled.

In Mexico, Puerto Escondido, precisely at Zicatela, there is a faboulous beachbreak and the riders are quite skilled and darefull.
They are many of them coming for my Academy and we really enjoy very good moments together, as for technical courses as for riding sessions in the waves.
Adults, teenagers and young riders have been attending my courses.

After the technical approch on the beach, we have had very good rigind sessions on the spot.
It has been realy funny and brilliant !

YOU ON YOUR BOARD : KEY POINTS OF CONTACT

These pictures show the technical approach courses for positioning on the board and taking in hand.
It is very useful to understand the position of the hands and arms before and during manoeuvres.
So, I always insist on these points before we hit the waves.
The result is very positive, usually each rider significantly improves his position and he feels better in the waves.

CHOOSE THE BEST POSITIONING

Feel the board under your body,
Put your hands and fingers in the right place
Learn to adapt your positioning according to the timing of the wave
are fundamental steps to progress.
