Anything that was going to blow away at Pozo has long since blown away so the worry of being hit by low flying animals is nonexistent. A shaded area (from sun and wind) is situated right by the beach, ample parking is 50m from the beach, 50m from that is a marquee streaming the event and windsurf videos by day and live entertainment at night. Further in the marquee you can imbibe fresh smoothies or icy cervezas while watching the prize givings on stage or indulge in gelato ice creams or filling bocadillos before or after going outside to watch the best men and women in the world attempt to sail into the nearest accident and emergency department. My top tip, head down to the infamous bunker and watch the mad men and women of the PWA hurl over head at spitting distance from the shore while you top up your suntan. I challenge anyone to find a more spectacular view in windsurfing to watch the world’s elite rotate through double loops and the rest of their aerial antics, in fact from a spectator point of view, few sports can compete with the view on offer. When conditions aren’t good enough for competition and you’ve had your fill of rubbing shoulders with the great and the good of the PWA, then why not take part in some sailing of your own. Outside of heats I witnessed Pozo with only one or sometimes no sailors on the water in perfectly fun conditions of small waves and force 6 winds – a mere splash by Pozo standards but above average for most people’s definition for anywhere else! This year’s PWA contest will go down as the best ever, where Philip Koester set new standards for the level of wave sailing and Pozo delivered conditions above and beyond extreme but let’s not forget that whether it’s the sailors it produces or the conditions it delivers, Pozo has never been about the normal. As they say, ‘Windsurfing is King but Pozo is King Kong!’.
