During 2017 we have produced a few videos of
‘Windsurfgirls’ showing our sport, what we can do and how
our lifestyle and community can be also attractive to people
who never experienced watersports before. We want people
to know our sport and try it and we want to share the stoke,
to motivate more girls to join us! Windsurfing seems to be
finally becoming more equal in opportunities to both
genders, since now the prize money is equal for men and
women in the IWT and maybe the PWA will start soon doing
the same, as the Gran Canaria event already did last year.
Your favourite conditions
I love pure surfing conditions… three-metre glassy pealing
waves, light winds, not too powerful, not too mellow, like a
medium day in Middles in Ho’okipa or a good day in
Pacasmayo… I guess everyone likes it like this! I am more
used to sailing starboard tack but I am goofy, so I find it more
natural and read the wave better in port tack. When it is big I
love the feeling, but when it is smaller I like it better because
I feel more confident to go harder and push to improve!
Your favourite spots
I really like Moulay in Morocco, Jericoacoara in Brazil,
Fuerteventura, Pacasmayo in Peru and Maui. Tenia Wave in
the outer reefs of New Caledonia was like a dream… but that
trip is complicated, so I just feel super lucky to have had the
chance to try it a few times! There are also some amazing
spots at home in Cadiz, glassy long wave with Poniente in
Caños, Perfect side off Levante in Cortadura for wave riding,
the unbelievable flat waters in Sancti Petri working with
different wind directions… and many more spots… Cadiz is
such a great place to windsurf and also to surf!
But there are so many places I still want to go.
The best about surfers
Their vision of life, to live and understand the world.
Somehow surfers have understood time, nature, life, joy…
about being right in the moment they are living, about having
preferences and deciding to have less but being better and
happier.
