South Swell Patrol – wave windsurfing in Gran Canaria

An unexpected south swell hit the Canaries and Kerstin Reiger produced a video about the south swell on the east coast of Gran Canaria. “On July 11th and 12th a big south swell hit the Canary islands. Some of the best wave windsurfers, who are already in Gran Canaria to prepare for the 2018 PWA Gran Canaria Wind & Waves Festival, had the chance to ride a rare south swell. The locals said, this this swell was the best for the last 5 years. Swell direction and wind direction just matched perfectly.”
