The photos don’t really do it justice to be honest. On a couple of waves it felt like the water would disappear as it sucked up the face. Rather than the wave building from behind, it was like the ocean falling away in front. This second day was smaller for sure, but there was still so much power. I had one mistimed wave where the lip literally barrelled into my rig, but thankfully I came out unscathed. It helped having the others around too. Pons was ripping like always with some huge airs and a super late hit on one of the biggest sets of the day and right in front of the rocks. I don’t know if he planned it like that, but it was ballsy for sure. If that had gone wrong, I don’t think there would have been much left of his gear, or even of him! Eric had some beautiful flowing rides but eventually ended up caught on the inside and pulled into the current right under the cliffs of El Roque. Thanks to some frantic swimming, he and his gear survived, but it was enough for him to call it a day. Moritz looked great as usual. He has such a good style on the wave, and for me leads the way in the riding from the newer younger generation. With big airs and a couple of aggressive hacks he looked to be loving the conditions.
