Waves at home!

Big and chunky waves is what you get after a good cold front in the gulf. Anna Maria Island was solid, believe it or not, only 10 people out.

Sebastian Inlet.

This is probably the best I've seen Sebastian Inlet in a long time. Big sets coming on glassy conditions for most of the day, what a surf day, specially after a long day in Flagler Beach working on the FBA.

FBA # 3.

The FBA # 3 presented by ANARCHY eyewear was another great event in Flagler Beach. That concludes the 2009 season and start getting ready for 2010. Here, you can see me with the PRO division winners.

Cold fronts!!

The gulf keep going off with the winter season. South of Tampa, we got some solid barrels!!

Waves keep coming!!

The waves haven't stopped over the East Coast, solid head high pretty much the whole last week and over the weekend winds turned offshore.
I got this photos taken at Sebastian Inlet for this barrel sequence in a nice 5-6 ft offshore swell.

Hurricane IDA

Hurricane IDA brought some good solid waves to the Gulf. Monday was an epic day, head high plus, glassy and non stop barrels. We surfed till dark, all day.

Check my interview !!

I just got an interview posted on bodyboardculture.com, a great site promoting Bodyboarding. Here is the link

Waves !!

This weekend we had a nice swell on the East Coast, some good glassy waves most of the day and some solid barrels. Last weekend we had our first cold front this season over the gulf, so hopefully this next few months we can count on some good swells for the winter.

TOMMY TANT Memorial Surf Classic

The 10th TOMMY TANT Memorial Surf Classic was another great event this year. I always enjoy going to Flagler Beach and participate in this contest, the vibe is so good and the community really embraces this event for the whole weekend.
Conditions were not great for the contest, waves were small and that was what we had to deal with. I got 5th Place in the Open Bodyboard Final.

The FBA # 2 was a huge success!!
We worked together to get the biggest Bodyboarding event in Florida in a long time!
All the hard work paid off.

Leftovers from Bill

Still some clean leftovers from Bill. Now it looks like there is something coming for next week also!!

Hurricane Bill

Hurricane is the first decent swell we got this summer. Lucky me, I just got back from Costa Rica, stopped by SURF EXPO in Orlando and got some good waves this weekend.

FBA # 2

Costa Rica trip

This day, the swell wasn't that big, but so good. I was getting barreled all day long.

Costa Rica trip

Hermosa Beach with a nice swell. This picture was one of the biggest bomb that day. I'm stoked that I got the shot!!

Costa Rica !!

Our house in Jaco Beach, can't beat that!!

Going to Costa Rica !!

I'm on my way to Costa Rica...pura vida!!
The week looks pretty good, nice swell and meeting 7 friends at the airport.

Summer time!!

We are right in the middle of summer, but the Gulf Coast is still having some decent swell here and there, enough to have some fun. I can say that for the last few weeks, we've had more waves than the east Coast.

The FBA was covered in last issue of the BODYBOARDER magazine. There is a whole article from the last contest of the 2008 season. Check it out!!

This past weekend we had a solid 5 days of surf with overhead sets for more than 3 days, nice way to spend a long holiday weekend. I'm glad I got it all.

FBA # 1 2009

FBA Season 2009, Contest #1 from Alejandro Abreu on Vimeo.

This past Saturday, we had our first event for the 2009 FBA season. I worked my ass off on this one. I went out and competed on the MASTERS division, advanced to the semi-main heat, but I failed to made the Final. Check out the video, you'll see me working all over.

Nice swell in the East Coast

We got some decent swell this past weekend, finally water is warming up!!

Red Bull is here!

I just got some Red Bull this week. This might be good for one or two days!!

waves in the gulf!!

This week, we had some fun waves at home. Saturday was 3-4 ft and glassy, nice little barrel here.

2009 ESA Regionals.

I just got back from the East Coast to have some waves at home!!... nice.

I when over there to compete on the 2009 ESA Southeast Regionals. This year, they had it at Sebastian Inlet, one of my favorite breaks.

I got 2nd place in the Open Bodyboard Final, not too bad for the conditions, waves were so small.

That's a good size trophy!
