Fuerte Update...

Well we made it here ok!  Airports and flights were super easy with Thomson!  No excess charges for the 200 kilos of kit that Simon and I put on!!  We have been here for 2 and a half days now and i’m already buckled!!  Its been 4.7 weather and then we had a nice 4.2 session this afternoon.  The conditions are by far the hardest i have ever had to sail in, the chop is an absolute killer , its like sailing within a field of moguls!  Trying to do any moves on the way out is super difficult.  Only ponches and shakas seem to be the more successful moves to do.

The level is really high amongst all the sailors with lots of new moves coming out.  Anthony Ruenes from France is doing something called a Puneta into Funnel/Cana Brava Clock thingy!!  Don’t try and work it out!  I will get it on video tomorrow and then you can see for yourself.  Also Gollito is doing his trademark ‘Burner’ which is a funnel into ponch!

Myself, Simon and Jakub are sailing pretty good lots of switch satnce variations and shakas a plenty!  Si busted out a clean backie today which ou can see on his site.  Here are a couple of my moves from today.  Stay tuned for more action from Fuerte. 

Cheers
