Trinidad & Tobago!!

Now in Tobago. You have to take a 2 hrs Ferry to get here, the one you see right behind me. This small island has the best surf in the country. Mt Irvine is a perfect point break, rights only, on a shallow reef, I mean shallow, on my first wave hit my knee, I didn't check it out after few waves. So far, surf has been ok, but now I can say I've found paradise in Tobago. believe it or not, I was the only one in the morning, then, in the afternoon, few local guys jump in the water.

Trinidad & Tobago!!

Here you can see few of the things I miss about the Caribbean. Weather, clear water and gorgeous views!

Trinidad & Tobago!!

Surf has been ok. the winter season is the best, but you need to catch a good cold front coming from up north to get some epic waves. here surfing on the the nort coast of Trinidad.

Trinidad & Tobago!!

Good waves in Trinidad, but I was surprised to be the only one in the water. As you can see in this shot, just my friend Craig and me.

Trinidad & Tobago!!

Finally, we are here!
I've wanted to come to this country since I was living in Venezuela. This gorgeous country consists of 2 islands, Trinidad, the big island and Tobago, the small island. Here is a shot of Port Of Spain, the capital.

SURF EXPO

This weekend the SURF EXPO took place in Orlando, as usual, great event. Here I'm with Ryan Rhodes and JOJO from CUSTOM X.

waves and cold!!!

This is one of the most consistent winter for waves in the gulf, but also one of the coldest, this week, I've got ice on my car everyday!!
I forgot last time I got ice on my car.

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
