A bit of action has started today here on Fuerteventura’s North Shore after yesterday’s warm up in Puertito. On this sunny wednesday, the conditions looked pretty better down there at Cotillo’s beach. Around 2pm, riders were invited to select one rider of their team to go on the water for the first heats of the first FWC.

After a quick check in the morning in Puertito where we thought today’s action would be, we finally came down to Cotillo’s beach, right after a briefing by Thomas and JB about the judgements. Cotillo was already sailable with clean logo high sets…  Details
