Karin giving it a try at Leao. Inconsistent and choppy 👎🏼

You play you pay

cv2026 tisdag

 Checking PP at 9 but very occational small sets. 

Sailing a crowded, choppy, sideshore Secret, windy, 4.7.

Second sesh bad knee twist from failed arial on 4.5. 

Knee seems fucked.😢 Will see if it can be taped tomorrow.

cv2026 monday

 Morning sesh at PP. Shifty and very offshore 5.0.

Inconsisten with occational big bombs. Eventually trapped inside and pounded hard together with Paolo.🥴

Snapped mast and ripped sail. Board not a scratch.

Surf at mt Leao in the afternoon. Rasmus stays at Angulo foiling. Very foggy sirrocco style

cv2026 sunday

 Nice and sunny for once.

cv 2016 d8 saturday

 Forcast 3m@17sek and 25 kts NE.

Morning windy but still fairly flat. Checking PP and Ali in the morning. Meet Paolo from 🇵🇹 at PP. Here until Wednesday.

Some nice sets for surfing in Ali but not enough for sailing. Back in the afternoon and all the boys are there. Bigger sets now but so offshore you easily make it to the point in one go. Almost impossible to catch waves. Occational big sets makes it a bit hairy as you need to go deep if you want action but then you risk getting eaten and washed ashore. 

Tried the gopro bite-the-float mount. Works fine but not a great angle.

4.7m2

One nice ride on one of the bigger sets but still to chicken to go vert and risk the rocks.

Happy to have caught one at last though cus really hard.

Checking Canoa and PP on the way back.

PP also crazy ENE dead offshore. 15 kiters, one wingfoil and Paolo.

cv 2026 d7

 To small to go at Little Hookipa. Flat everywhere else. Another layday to get the body back in order.

cv 2026 d7

Not a good night. Bad seafood at Compad yesterday. Soar body overall after six daya sailing in  row so decide to take a days rest. 

CV 2026 d6

Another 4.5+ day at Little Hookipa. Punchy waves but not as clean as yesterday and  a bit more sideshore and more choppy. Pretty wild conditions though, ending with a late hit and a walk on the reef.

Sail repair

CV 2026 d5

 Another high tide morning at Little Hookipa. Today with bigger sets and really windy, hardly coping with 4.5 on the outside. Had a couple of nice rides and not too much swimming. Went for a second session around noon but start to feel some fatigue after five days sailing. Sharing the waves with Victor, Manuela, René and Nicole.

Probably the windiest day here in a long time. 

CV 2026 d4

 Forcast today: lots of wind but not much waves; 0,6m@10s NW. A little surprised to find Little Hookipa working just fine with clean peelers despite really strong side offshore wind. Out on 4.7 but could have used 4.5. Solo windsurfing with three kiters between 1030 and noon. After that more people arrive, both kiters and ws and conditions turn more choppy and closeout as the water pulls back. Defo best at high tide. 

CV 2026 3

 Light light rain in the morning while packing up for another day. Ponta Preta more or less flat so heading north to find Little Hookipa on its best side; high tide and light wind from ENE means clean empty lines, about shoulder high. Just me and three kiters. 

CV 2026 day 2

 Ponta Preta morning sesh craaaazy offshore.

4.7 on the small side.

Wavecount = zero 🫤

CV 2026 1

Ponta Preta morning mission sharing perfect peelers with Victor Fernandez. Turn after turn after turn. First arial ever at PP and a bit of swimming but managed to make it back in one piece. 

Afternoon windsurf sesh at Alibaba. Again total perfection. Over head set waves. Suuuper fast down the line runs all the way from the point.

Rasmus on shortboard in the bay . Karin behind the lens.

Decent first day of this trip.
