The competition was called off and everybody had come in from sailing because it was so extreme. I was actually about to leave back for our hotel when I thought I better check with Boujmaa in case he had plans to sail elsewhere. I found him rigging his sail at his centre and he was planning to go out and try along with Antoine Martin. As soon as he hit the water I realized how big the waves out the back were breaking. Somehow he scored a lucky break and found a way through the mountains of whitewater and disappeared way out on the horizon. Even with all the people on the hill watching it was hard to keep track where he was miles out in all the chaos. What if he went down out there? How would he make it back in? After making it upwind we suddenly saw a mast tip drop down a monster right out the back which must have been three or four times mast high. Weirdly the wave rumbled into a surge of whitewater and he stayed in front of it until it started to reform into a clean right-hander on the inside. The next thing we know Boujmaa was laying it down and headed towards a huge bowling lip. Everyone on the hill was cheering as he smacked a huge aerial and landed in the flats. Meanwhile poor Antoine Martin was still stuck on the inside and heading in with his mast broken in several pieces and gear in tatters. It was not long before ‘Bouj’ was racing back out and headed towards a monster ramp! Would he make it over or was it going to close out on him. Once again the hill was applauding as he flew up into the air above the ridiculous ramp. After catching two or three more monsters and making it back out unscathed I think he realized that he had used up all of his lives and sailed back into the beach to a standing ovation. Now that was some session. Later in the evening we headed into Essaouira where he tried to sail a slab off the harbour wall but the tide was too high and the sea so chaotic that the wave was not really working. I had never expected Moulay to be so extreme and to witness such an amazing session. After all the behind the scenes efforts Boujmaa had put into bringing the PWA, IWT and windsurfing into Morocco it was now his moment to shine and just reward for all his hard work.
