The PLC Podcasts - Episode Four
"For the first surf trip of my life, I went to the Canary Islands when I was 12 years old. At the time, I was just a little kid happy to spend winter in warm water and to finally surf reef breaks, I certainly didn't realize the potential of this archipelago and for sure, I didn't imagine I will surf the best waves of my life there.
Even if I travelled a lot since, the Canay Islands remains the place where I had the most memorable sessions. I love to go to the Canary Islands and I'm planning on going more in the future. It's only three hours away from home, the cost of living is very low, the weather is warm all year and the quality of the waves is easily worth Australia.
If the Canary Islands have become famous today in the world of bodyboarding, there is only one reason in my eyes. A wave more precisely, a wave that breaks from 1 foot to 12 feets, a perfect A-frame peak, a wave that offers a ramp to do any move you want and also offers you big and heavy barrels, a wave easy to shoot from any angles. Yes, you regonize it - EL FRONTON! The reason why so many bodyboarders go to the Canary Islands, all curious to test the wave that was voted “Best Wave of the World ” by the pros themselves (Riptide 2010 Peer Poll)" - Pierre.
Pierre continues discussing the Canarian bodyboarding scene at pierrelouiscostes.com.
