Report temporary 2 December in Barcelona - by Alex Soler
Since early in the morning appeared these expressions of strong wind that can alter both work behavior, social and psychic for windsurfers!!!!
At work, the feeling was slow to overwhelming .... it seemed the whole world had conspired to never came time to go sailing ....
Totally disoriented as he seeks marked gusts up to 30 knots in several spots, I came to The Base at one, some others estavan in Castelldefels or Palamos Malgrat who works here .... to ¿?
Given the possibility of a sudden downturn ... very common in these temporary south decided put me right there in the water!
Attack ...
The sea is about to be out of phase, is beginning to rain outside looks a little MARETON friendly, with some significant peaks .....
Total disorder
The wave is super messy surf cost ..... something you do not know if it will rise to the beast, or simply disappear ..
I try to take the last or penultimate wave of the "series" are the largest, and if I proceed to the wash program, spin and shine, even I will have a while to try to escape a second round .....
Jump Micro
It is almost impossible to jump .... The sea has become Migjorn and wind Garbi aproarse must jump a lot and lost a lot of speed ..... I decide to surf ... in the bad will be the best!
The size continues to grow ..... Like the mess!
Wave / no wind
This difficult area .... the more chances of finding a wave is desventada ...
It starts to rain hard ..... and the sky turns black!
Looking for the wave
I still see far away ...... a small ripple that promises ... I try to control the speed to match the future wave finally starts to get up like god, do a bottom on his lap too clabar trying not singing, I do not want to miss it, under the boom and support me on the front foot, now if I see a wall high up, I go against him to kick it as hard as you can, begins to break above .... I have it!! give strong .. now all the weight is on the back foot, I glanced out a stream of water strong .... I'm happy!!
I remember Oriol, photographer caught ..... be sure the cut-back, happy look towards the beach and there is absolutely no ...... of course ..... raining seas!!
And walking with the foam of the same wave ... "the wave" ... towards the shore.
There may not been the best day of windsurfing, sea gray with anger, with the wave anarchic state total, with the rain .. quite a lot, cold and scratch on the foot ... but I stored that wave hard disk memory, and automatically .... I remember ..... smile.

It was there, leiendo "three snowstorms," a good book for the landscape of the week of November. Snow, horse drawn sleigh through cold long coat, white and endless landscapes of Russia. The density of such literary landscapes mixed with the fog, water and gray sky that you remember .. And suddenly after a windsurfer was a leap above the black sea! That desire was to go in the water. What week of November!. It was like a parenthesis. Then the sun came.
