I spent christmas and New Year out in the Cape Verdian isles, on the island of Sal. This place is well renowned for its waves, and big waves we got. One day at ponta preta, we clocked up to 15 ft waves which was insane to ride. Pretty hairy when you got it wrong as well. Im not normally into my wave riding but this was awesom. Having clean waves breaking on a reef, at the same point every time. Made it so much more enjoyable than onshore mush like at home.
We also rode at the other side of the island, kitebeach, where the wind is cross onshore. Here is is choppy waves, so was very difficult for freestyle. I spent alot of time messing around on strapless surfboards which made the challenging conditions fun.
We have a bunch of photos which im just sorting through for a magazine article, and then ill put a few up online here as well.
Im now on my way to Perth in Western Oz to meet up with Sam Light, James Boulding and Luke Whiteside. Here is super flat water which is perfect for wakestyle riding. Cant wait to hit the water tomoorw.
