Yep, it´s here at last. After a long and very windy winter/spring, the summer trades have kicked in and it looks like it´s here to stay- great news for my upcoming clinics at the end of the month. Last week was pretty epic again with a couple of days at Glass and then two amazing days at Puerto Lajas, port-tack jumping and riding. Once again, due to work commitments through the week, I was first on the water and leaving just as all the boys were rigging for their session, and looking at the photos it looks as though it got even better after I left. Puerto Lajas is a joy after the madness and stress of a crowded Glass Beach, waves aplenty and no waiting in line and getting screamed at by the "Glass locals" (they know who they are- it doesn´t happen to me but I see some very bad on-water etiquette from certain sailors up here towards the tourists). Anyway, today was light but it´s kicking in extra strong from tomorrow so I´ve prepared my small sail and I´ll be heading along that dusty old northtrack tomorrow to Punta and then back to Puerto Lajas hopefully for the rest of the week (hopefully I´ll strike lucky and get some decent photos...). Having been witness to some crazy aggro antics and near-misses at Glass earlier in the week, I thought this near-miss video from Eva Ophius sailing at Pozo was pretty relevant. Now this is close...
