In the beginning of April, we booked a last minute trip to Tenerife to catch a good forecast and film Alex Mussolini. After winning the last PWA wave event in Sylt back in October 2009, the Barcelona local has been training hard to go for the world title, and his new homespot El Cabezo seems the right place for it. Cross onshore port tack makes it an ideal place to train for the PWA tour this year and the clip shows what can be achieved in pretty average ‘Euro’ conditions (that is if you are called Alex Mussolini and can taka, wave 360 and goiter on the same wave).
The idea behind this clip was to simply show Alex’s insane sailing at his home beach. Like Pozo, El Cabezo is basically a skate park, where you can throw pretty much all the wave tricks, front and backside 360s, takas, goiters, jumps and some nice turns. It was interesting to see what can be done with production gear by someone who is at the top of their game.
Now all we have to do is pray for conditions at Pozo… It should be quite a show!
