ENGLISH:
The Canary Islands, with its constant Tradewinds and warm temperatures all the yearlong, are considerated as the European Hawaii.
Gran Canaria is the windiest of the Spanish achipel. In summer, the wind can blow with up to 40 knots (peaks in gusts also reaching 50 knots) in the eastern part of the island. Pozo Izquierdo is incredibly famous for its radical conditions in summer.
Only 1km upwind is the windsurf spot of ARINAGA (Bahia de Formas). A mole shields the waves and converts the bay in a great flat water speed spot with solid wind in a right angle.
That was also the spot where in summer 2003 the windsurf legends Dunkerbeck, Naish, Albeau & Brindal started the open ocean speed record attempt.
Slalom equipment can be hired in the Truck of the DUNKERBECK WINDSURF CENTER. With this pro- material (Cambersails from 5.0 up to 7.0m and speedboards 54cm whide) you will increase your usual speeds and go downwind to experience the sensation of speed.
Give it a try- It's worth it!
Speeds can be measured with official GPS and with smart watches from different brands such as GARMIN & SUUNTO with GPS (more information HERE)
The winner will be the sailor with the fastest 250m
The first 3 in the OPEN category will receive a trophy.
For any other category that has a minimum of 3 participants we will prepare nice surprises. Go ahead and bring your friend too ??
