SUSPICIOUSLY NO SUPRISES

Thomas Traversa and Antony Ruenes reflect on a five-day boys' trip to the north shore of Fuerteventura where they scored epic wind and waves everyday.

RUNNING LIKE CLOCKWORK

Sometimes things go as planned other times they most certainly don't. However, on this occasion we were pleasantly surprised precisely because there were no surprises. On this Saturday morning in question, somewhere on the north coast of Fuerteventura, the sun was shining, the parking lot was empty, the waves were rolling in perfectly, gently caressed by light winds, while looking majestic in the early morning light. Just as on the previous five days, we were treated to a real spectacle, and thankfully it felt like we were invited to be a part of it.

LEISURELY APPROACH

Antony [Ruenes] prepared his windsurfing equipment without hurrying while Adrien [Bosson] and Pierre [Bouras], our photographer, both did the same. They entered the water one at a time, and reached the waves which continued to arrive at almost metronomic pace. I calmly watched them surf these perfect lines, which completely satisfied me. Then, as the minutes passed by, something inside told me that I should join them. My body however was comfortable laid right there on the beach, absorbing the rays of the sun, the warmth of the volcanic rocks, and the captivating images which presented themselves before my eyes.
