More Good Surf For Lanzarote

Well once again we've had a great week of surf with La Santa Right being somewhere between fun and really good for most of the week. With the swell having a lot of West in it the right works well and also holds some size.

Yesterday (and hopefully today, I can see the point peeling  from here!) was the pick of the swell with some 10 - 12ft sets and little wind until well into the afternoon. As usual with a bit of size the crowd factor wasn't important and there were plenty of waves for all. Along with some of the local crew Newquay ex-pat Joff Owen and Swiss team member Sven Grossenbacher got some bombs and I had another trial run with the 9'6" Linden, which went pretty good !

All in all a classic Canarian winter day's surfing ...... and as I just saw another nice peak break of the point and with lots of the local guys being on La Graciosa I reckon it's time to sign off and have a Sunday afternoon session !

Hasta la proxima.

Jack Davies Rocks The Rock !

Jack Davies, Rhino team member, Newquay Habour Wall Rat and all round hurricane came out to visit last week with his Dad Simon. Lucking in to a week of great waves and some winter sun the father and son team made the most of it and got stuck into La Santa's waves and laid back pace of life (Father may have got stuck into a beer or two as well!). 

After a couple of surfs at El Centro Jack seemed to get pretty comfortable in the head high (for him) left hand reef waves and stamped his own brand of reckless energy and relentless cheek all over it. In fact he's the first person I know to have a wave in La Santa named after, Jack's Peak, a mini righthander only rideable at high tide and ignored by the rest of the World's surfing population....... to think it was there under our nose's all the time!

In fact Jack got so comfortable that he was even spotted driving a clapped out 4x4 along the dirt tracks behind Famara Beach..........
