Here is a little movie about a windsurfing trip made in the Canaries by two French riders, Colin & Pedro from La BAR Team (la-bar.fr).
While most people are used to fly to the canaries, we decided to go by van, driving from France to the south of Spain and then taking a ship to Tenerife. After a few days on the spot of the world cup “El Cabezo”, we decided to take another ship to go to fuerteventura.
There we windsurfed on a few different freestyle and wave spots: Sotavento Center 1 and 2, El Cotillo, Playa Blanca… It was really cool to have the chance to go from a spot to another whenever we decided and it’s definitely worth trying the Canaries by van!
The PWA Fuerteventura wrapped up yesterday as the freestyle double elimination was completed. Winds were questionable at best for a large part of the event, but howling winds returned on the last day, allowing the best freestylers in the world to show off there skills. Jose ‘Gollito’ Estredo (Fanatic / North) had won his second successive event of the year, as he continued his perfect start to the season in his quest for a fifth world championship title. Whilst Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / Gaastra / Mystic / Maui Ultra Fins / Chris Benz) stomped her authority over the women’s fleet by winning the opening female freestyle event of the year in convincing fashion.
