When I went freelance last November I thought that, free from 9 to 5 constraints, my surfing would take a leap forward as I could plan my daily chores around the tide, wind and swell combination. Ok, sure... this has been one of the worst winters ever in terms of on-shore winds, rain and cold... but now we are breezing through spring and I can't really say I'm surfing much either. It seems that working for oneself makes me work longer hours than before... and even during my freetime I surprise myself thinking about work. Will this be the year when I reach the 183 days of surf per year mark? I hope so, but it's going to be close. Sure, the arrival of a longboard in the next few weeks can help reach that mark now that summer approaches, but it's not done deal yet.
La Galea a couple of weeks ago. On one of the last big swells of the season (and one of the few clean ones). Way out of my league. Via El Canelo.
And what work is it to drains my brain so much? Check out the AMSTEL Surfilm Festibal7 - 2009 website, and also its blogs and the DailyMotion channel. I can tell you that although it doesn't look like much, there's hundreds of working hours invested in there.
Mundaka last weekend. If only it weren't soooooo crowded!!
On the other hand I'm really excited about the special issue of the next 3sesenta mag. I can't really say what's the theme... but let's just say that it's something (or maybe... somewhere) that is very close to my heart!!!
