More Action...

The wind has stopped blowing for a couple of days so time to rest n recuperate before it comes back (handily) at the weekend. We've had loads more sailing, you'll be pleased to hear (check out the gopro still from Flag Beach yesterday above), and we're still getting some video footage together, mainly for training purposes. I'm sitting on mine until I have enough for a half-decent video but Lucy had loads of footage so she chucked together this little gem where you can see how much she's improved already in the short time she's been here, she really is ripping, especially at my beloved Punta. Check out her waveriding and her full-on forward attempts! She's landing them now since we shot this video...In the meantime, enjoy...

And while we're on the subject of video, check out this wee snippet from Punta a few days ago. With only a few weeks left before the Easter Clinic (places still available if you're interested), I'm getting as much freesailing in as possible.... Yep, I'm still addicted to takas...

Welcome to the site!
Aswell as regular features and news updates from Fuerte, I am going to be using this site to promote my windsurfing clinics.
After 15 years on the island,having competed in the PWA freestyle world cup and now representing Fanatic Boards and North Sails, I have decided to give something back to the sport which has given me so much over the years.
My aim is to provide clinics "tailor-made"for each individual, with a strong emphasis on practical in-the-water instruction, backed up by on-the-beach tuition and video analysis. The consistent conditions here in Fuerte make learning so much easier and, perhaps equally important, more fun than the typically inconsistent, cold UK - why not come over for a week and improve your windsurfing by a year!!!

I can help with any manoeuvres from carve-gybe through to advanced jumping and freestyle, just email me with your wish list and we'll take it from there! Over the next few months, I am going to be video-chronicling manoeuvres which you can check out on the right in my tricktionary sections. This will give you some idea of the things we can work on, or, if you can't make it over here, you may find them useful to help understand and break down a manoeuvre you would like to learn (hopefully, the slow-mo will help in this respect!).Just click on the trick and scroll down..........
Anyway, keep checking it out as I have loads more in my bag of tricks and will be updating as and when I get the footage.
If you're interested, e-mail me on gibboinfuerte@yahoo.co.uk
See ya in Fuerte?
