| My Best Ever Session: |
It happended in June/July 1992. A thunderstorm over the north atlantic sent a good swell down to the cote basque.
Just in the middle between "Dunes" and "Cavaliers" in Anglet/France, on a hot day with a huge low tide coefficient, a 200 meters outside sandbar began to work. Nobody than me mentioned it. I Paddled out and had 30 minutes undisturbed, unforgetable rides. |
| Biggest Fear or Wipe out: |
Place: Tamri, Morocco.
Date: March 1997.
Wave conditions: Walls up to 5 meters, breaking 500 meters outside, with 2-3 meters beach break on sand mixed with cobblestones.
Number of Surfers: 3 english boys and me.
I took all strength to paddle out and catched a big set wave to the right. I didn't mention that the wave took me by far away from the safe river mouth into the high cliffs that frame the Tamri rivermouth beach on left and right side. There also was a strong current pulling me more and more into the rocks. With carrying my board as a shield against the nonstop incomimg foamwalls, I climbed through the stones out of the danger zone and back to the beach.
It took me a couple of days, even with smaller waves, to surf Tamri again. |
