CHILE : LAST DAY IN MATANZAS AND COMEBACK TO SANTIAGO

Thank you Matanzas!!!!
Every good moments comes to an end… This third and last day has just confirmed what we were thinking about the spot, awesome! Even if the swell has gone down a bit compared to yesterday, wind is still really consistent. 30 knots this time, you have to go and get the waves much closer to the rocks and of course, there, wind is a bit more gusty… Not so easy but everybody finds nice waves to enjoy, and we rode one more time till we are dead! Just the time to take a shower, to pack all the gear and it’s already the time to hit the road. Guided that time by Michel (owner of Nautisport, surfshop in Santiago), local french rider who came to Matanzas to windsurf, road is a lot quicker and it took us only 2h30 to arrive and to reach our headquarters, the great Hyatt Hotel Santiago. We are welcome by Yvan, Chief Executive of the hotel, french kitesurfer, who really took care of us (thank you for the chocolates!!!) and with who we share the pics taken during the trip. A new expedition will be organized for sure!!!

We are flying back this afternoon, going first to Paris then to Marseille, and i will be probably at home Friday afternoon. A HUGE thank to all the people who made this trip possible and so cool, firstly Xavier of course but also Laura who spent hours on the beach taking pictures, Benoît, Michel and Yvan! We do a new one in Matanzas whenever you want my friends!!!
EXPRESS TRIP TO CHILE, LEAVING NOW!!!!

Drapeau du Chili
When my friend Xavier, professional pilot, asked me if i was interested by an express trip to Chile, it didn’t took me long to say a big YES of course!!! It will be my first time in this country, i heard a lot about the great conditions we can get there and of course i’m really amped! But you have to “deserve” this country as it’s a 14 hours flight, plus 2 hours driving to the spots, on the west coast. We are boarding in 2 hours, just the time to let you know what i will do in the next days. My favourite photographer won’t be there this time, but i hope i will be able to bring you some footage as i took my Go Pro with me
. See you “on the other side”!!!
