Just before Alex went on his trip to the island of La Réunion, he had an epic day in El Médano, Tenerife. ‘I will never forget this day: I was sailing in the bay upwind from El Médano called El Cabezo, together with Dany Bruch and it was just perfect. Super strong wind – I used my 65 liter Da Curve and 3,6 Riot and was still overpowered – and logo high waves in the sets. Cabezo is a great place for jumping and wave riding, I personally prefer the riding, but if you like to jump you can always get some massive ramps. We had a lot of fun this day, the funny thing was that almost no one was sailing, just us two. An incredible day in Médano, at just five minutes away from my house.’
