You might think that only east coasters (meaning from the East Coast of the USA) enjoy summer hurricane swells, but that is not the case. After Bertha we've had some swell coming from Cristobal. Once again it was coming from the WSW so most of the North Coast of Spain was sheltered while France got the best conditions. Here are some surfing photos from the last days:

This past Saturday took place the Salinas Longboarding Festival, probably the biggest meeting of longboarders worldwide. More than 300 mal riders -of which almost 200 entered the contest- met in Salinas, a very consistent beachbreak near Gijón, on the North Coast of Spain. But the Salinas Festival is much more than a contest: barbeques, live concerts, movies… everything. The local club outperforms years after year (this was the 7th year) and the atmosphere, with hundreds of people camping by the beach all weekend long, is great. Plenty of shortboarders also attend just to see friends (from all over Europe and enjoy in the activities. This year Alex Knost flew over for a quick visit (photos from his surfing during the Festival here) and you will see plenty of photos and stories in the usual blogs very soon.
One of the organizers of the Festival is Clau, the local photographer from Salinas, who has self-published a photo book. You can sneak a preview here. Meanwhile here is the traditional FOTONA from the Salinas Longboard Festival, courtesy of Clau.
Over & out.
