Injured. Bugger.

Yeah it´s true, I´m out of the game for a couple of weeks I reckon. There´s actually been no wind here for the last couple of weeks so no sailing but I´ve been playing a lot of padel (a south American mix of tennis and squash to those not in the know) and I´ve done something to my knee so it´s elevation, hot n cold treatment, loads of anti-inflams and, unfortunately, TOTAL REST. Grrrrr. Hopefully, this sunny, calm period will stretch on another couple of weeks, hehe and I won´t miss too much... I have to get myself fully fit again before June as I´m looking pretty busy with clinics again this summer!
 
Anyway, as I sit on the sofá with my leg in the air I leave you with a few pics of my last sessión at Punta before the wind dropped...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



Welcome to the site!
Aswell as regular features and news updates from Fuerte, I am going to be using this site to promote my windsurfing clinics.
After 15 years on the island,having competed in the PWA freestyle world cup and now representing Fanatic Boards and North Sails, I have decided to give something back to the sport which has given me so much over the years.
My aim is to provide clinics "tailor-made"for each individual, with a strong emphasis on practical in-the-water instruction, backed up by on-the-beach tuition and video analysis. The consistent conditions here in Fuerte make learning so much easier and, perhaps equally important, more fun than the typically inconsistent, cold UK - why not come over for a week and improve your windsurfing by a year!!!

I can help with any manoeuvres from carve-gybe through to advanced jumping and freestyle, just email me with your wish list and we'll take it from there! Over the next few months, I am going to be video-chronicling manoeuvres which you can check out on the right in my tricktionary sections. This will give you some idea of the things we can work on, or, if you can't make it over here, you may find them useful to help understand and break down a manoeuvre you would like to learn (hopefully, the slow-mo will help in this respect!).Just click on the trick and scroll down..........
Anyway, keep checking it out as I have loads more in my bag of tricks and will be updating as and when I get the footage.
If you're interested, e-mail me on gibboinfuerte@yahoo.co.uk
See ya in Fuerte?
