after missing the 2 biggest Swells this year in Europe on 1.11. it looked like a great idea to head down to another Ocean with a promising South-Swell on the rise. I teamed up with fellow Planet teamrider Eva from Innsbruck and off we went, disregarding the gnarliest forecast for rain in the whole year. It hit the area really hard, 7 people died and roads and towns were flooded, but all that carnage brought a good swell as well. By chance we met two of Eva´s hot friends, who surfed / actually ripped as well (Alena being the swiss Girls Champ) so was surrounded by chicks all weekend & must say I´ve encountered worse things in my life :-)
The swell was epic, the weather pretty gnarly, epic food & vino & some good memories of some quite powerful surf for Med-Standard. Couple of days that felt like a week, heaps of laughter, got in the water first time after my stack at Cloudbreak and am now in anticipation of all that´s gonna come this Winter, yeewww...
