And here it comes...

Yup, after the longest wind drought I can remember it looks like the wind is finally back, and for a good while too. Hopefully it´s the start of an epic spring/summer! The last couple of days have been on 4.5 down at Puerto Lajas with smallish surf but still great fun and from today on it´s looking even more promising with the wind due to swing through to NW with the chance of maybe a Lobos sesión! Fingers crossed...
Last weekend was due east and really light (again) at Majanicho so I drove upwind to Rocky Point where it was blowing a steady 25 knots and grabbed a half-decent bump n jump sessión. When I checked through my GoPro snaps I realised that on almost every jump I had Lobos as the backdrop, which looked pretty cool I think. Check them out...




 Anyway, now that the wind is making its presence known hopefully some photographers with 'real cameras' will start to appear and I´ll be able to post up some proper pics (not from Lobos unfortunately) but in the meantime this will have to do :-)

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?
