Sunday - Comic Strip # 6
Any given day
Excuse my absence, but since we came back from Portugal that we are receiving people non stop at home... and the workload doesn't diminishes either. Later on I will upload the last photos and news, but meanwhile here is a little comic strip I finished yesterday after a couple of similar surfs I had this week.
In Zarautz for the early one (both on Thursday and Friday) with nice conditions I started both surfs with a great righhander that enabled me to carve a couple of times and make me look a better surfer than I actually am... only to spend the rest of the session looking for a similar wave hopelessly. As time passed by (and the unavoidable run to the office grew nearer) I made more and more mistakes and wrong choices. At the end of both surfs I had a bitter taste in my mouth: sure I had had a very good wave... but I had had one and one only.
Thank's Huey for Selective Memory: right now, while I'm stuck at home with a mild case of throat infection, the only thing I remember from my last two surfs are the couple of great rights I got..

Musica Surfica Snobica

By far the best film I've watched recently. Rob (70percent) told me that the alaia is the new fish, and I couldn't help myself trying to guess what might lay ahead of us...

Those first summer surfs can be painful, even with no barracuda in sight. Thank's God the increasing numbers of girls out there all year long has diminished the surprise factor.

Wednesday – and another comic strip
Ultima ola (last wave) – only a surfer knows the feeling
Two interpretations: (1) how sometimes we keep waiting for that last wave when it is clear that it is not going to come, and (2) the pleasure all of us take just by being in the water (only a surfer knows the feeling).

Monday to Sunday – busy
Lot of work and some waves during this past week. But first of al let me introduce you a little cartoon strip I’ve been busy drawing recently. The characters are two shortboarders, Reflex & Ion. In Spanish “reflexion” means “reflection” (as in deep thought), hence the name of the two main characters. Please do not pay attention to the drawing; it’s all about the idea. Here is the first entry:

Waves: Well, we’ve had swell but also our share of on-shores. And one magic day: Friday, probably the best day of this summer so far. Shame I couldn’t get a surf until late in the afternoon, when the swell had dropped lots. I’m sure there’ll be lots of good photos from this day in the next few days.
…and at home:
On-shore on Wednesday in the morning at home…
No photos from Thursday (on-shore and big). On Friday it looked nice at home (turns out it was not so good due to the shapeless banks)...
Yesterday (Saturday) it was small and on-shore from early in the morning and today it is big and equally on-shore, grey and cold. Apparently the waves should last –at least-until mid next week. It’s a very nice run for summer.
On the social front I missed the MIACS inauguration on Friday (but it’s on for a couple of months, so I should be able to visit it sooner and later).
