Final preparations..........

Just got back from a friend´s wedding on the mainland, still recovering from the excesses of a week´s partying! Still, managed to get a nice little sesh in at Glass this afternoon- 25kts, logo high sets, it certainly helped to wash away the post-hol blues!
The day before I left we got some pretty good sailing at Punta and it was evident that the boys are gearing themselves up for the upcoming Get High Or Die Sequel. Everyone was going big and trying new stunts, good to watch. I sailed rubbish so took to the rocks with my camera and got some good pics of Willis punishing himself with repeated double attempts, check out the sequence below.....
Hats off to that man! We are keeping an eye on the forecast now and the competition is imminent, hopefully in the next couple of weeks so watch this space.................

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?
