The Canary Islands

 I've arrived to the Canary Islands safely.  After about a day and a half of traveling I made it to the zone.  I had a layover in New York, Madrid, and then finally to the Canaries.  My good friend Richard Lornie  and Shaun Pyne picked me up from the airport.  The first night I stayed with one of the coolest locals here and legend for sure Ale Barbosa.  He rips and charges fronton.  The next morning Cobus Bosman(photographer and good friend) and I moved into our new zone for the next 5 days in Galdar until we move in with Jeff and Mark Mcarthy on Monday.  It's a sick zone and it's only a 10 minute walk to Fronton and a couple minute walk to some other sick waves to boogie.  We've been surfing everyday.  There has been some sick days at Fronton and a big gnarly day that I didn't even want to paddle out.  The locals here rip super hard and rush.  It's mental and amazing to watch.  I've been enjoying my time here and having good times for sure.  Check out some of the photos below of my Canary Islands trip so far.  aloha
