For me it was a great day too. Being on the smaller board and with the previous day as a warm up, it seemed a lot more playful. My day was eventually cut short when my UJ broke. In the desperate rush to get on the water, I had grabbed an old base that was so old, I think I may have used it the first time I sailed here 8 years before! Thankfully, the tiny bit of safety string held firm and meant my board wasn’t mashed into a pulp on the rocks and I could swim back to shore unharmed. That day I had some of the best waves I have ever ridden and certainly in my top 3 of best ever sessions in Gran Canaria. Best of all, I love the contrast. One of the best parts about growing up in the UK was the variety of sailing. You never know which direction the wind will blow next, and there are so many spots that every day stays fresh. Here is the total opposite with an almost groundhog day reliability to the conditions that can leave you feeling stale. However if you can add to the head high, port tack, onshore days with the occasional mast high, starboard tack, cross-offshore session, suddenly everything feels great! Now it’s just the waiting game until we get it again!
