Low tide at Punta gave us the perfect opportunity to get some pictures from the rocky island on the left of the bay. I was looking forward to it as I have never had a photo from there and the perspective is incredible- not only the angle of the jump but also having Lanzarote as a backdrop, so we sent my friend Juan wading across the strait with the camera in its waterproof housing (Madrid had just beaten Barcelona the night before, effectively winning the Spanish title so we could have talked him into anything I reckon). While he was getting organised I had the best 45 minutes I´ve had at Punta this year and was already mentally prepared to get my "shot of a lifetime", scoring some huge backloops and pushies. It was not to be, however. as the wind dropped off minutes before the camera was in place, leaving me horribly underpowered on my 5.0m so I spent the next hour pumping onto the plane in the gusts to try and get any sort of air for the photos. Disappointed, as I would have had some epic pics for sure, but the photos came out nice colour-wise and I´m now doubly looking forward to doing it next time with wind!!!!
