Monday – updating

Well, we can’t really complain, can we? As I stated before, this is being one of the most consistent summers in years. People are surfing winter spots in the middle of August… in trunks!

And these last two weeks haven’t been that different. Sure, we haven’t had another big swell but look at these 3 shots:

Nice overhead waves in Sopelana two Wednesdays ago by Surf 30.

Nice, calm and settled in Galiza the next day (by Dani).

And another nice swell last Thursday, smack in the middle of the 5*WQS that was taking place in Pantin. It’s not often that WQS surfers get to surf these conditions, especially during the European summer leg (by KingMatt).

On a more personal level I can’t complain as I’ve managed to score a few nice waves since arriving from Portugal. We have just entered September, which is supposed to be one of the best months of the year, and after spending the whole weekend in bed (cold) it looks like it’s going to be very small but clean and off-shore today and tomorrow, building up on Wednesday and then big and on-shore for the rest of the week. All I need is to get rid of this cold and to resume my surfing training in order to be in shape by the end of the month, when we shall be bailing to Bali.

P.S.: Btw, this coming weekend the 7th Royal Single Trophée is taking place in Anglet (Friday to Sunday)… but I’m afraid that the waves and the weather will not be very cooperative. Shame.

Over & out.
