Sup Surfing contest in Tenerife

rico — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:52:37 +0000

Just back from Tenerife, the surf contest was very well organised (as usual) and we were 9 SUPs (not too bad considering the bad wave forecast).
Waves were small, very close to the rocks and unconsistent… I won my 1/4 final and semi final but just before the finals the decision was made to call it a day as the waves conditions were getting really too bad…
Prize money and ranking points have been shared in equal parts between the finalists, they still made an unofficial podium based on the best results in the semi finals.
I’ve won it thanks to my 2 best scores in semi finals, stoked !

Back to Fuerteventura now…

Nautic Paris SUP Crossing 2011

rico — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 12:33:21 +0000

Awesome race in the middle of Paris ; 10km on the Seine river in the heart of the Capital of France !
I’ve fallen at the start but managed to make my way up and I took the lead after about 25mn and won the race for the 2nd consecutive year, Gaetan Sene came 2nd and spanish Belar Diaz came 3rd ; you can check the replay at Mygeolive.com

In the afternoon sprint race on foam boards in the swimming pool of the Nautic, the kids were on fire, swimming pool and foam boards aren’t my best speciality but I have tried my best and I’ve also won this part of the event, congrats to Arthur Arutkin, 14yo who came second !

All in all a great, fun event !

Sunny sunday !

Sunny sunday, calm wind and fun waves, all good for a SUP surfing session !

I’m leaving Fuerteventura on Tuesday to France for the Paris SUP Crossing Race, windguru says it is going to be cold, rainny and windy… I still have tomorrow to enjoy sunshine and blue warm water !

STOP !

rico — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 09:18:43 +0000

The wind is blowing… Everyday… strong onshore wind… Not fun for SUP Surfing… I can’t remember the wind blowing so many days in a row at this time of the year since I’m in Fuerteventura…
I do my workouts and paddle my SUP Raceboard as usual, but I miss a nice, glassy SUP surfing session… It’s time for the wind to STOP !

Here’s a short clip of yesterday’s session, occasionally a wave was showing up with a good shape.
