Flo Puritscher interview p4

[home] [local heroes] [trip matrix] [trips] [films] [links]

Didn´t get a good day though.

datrip: The classic question: longboard or shortboard?

Flo: At the moment definitly shortboard, but some day maybe longboard?

datrip: and to finish: imagine you just landed in Agadir (it´s the end of January) and you have all the toys needed. Thagazout is onshore, but:

- Okaimeden (ski resort near Marrakech) has one meter of fresh powder.

- Moulay Bouzerktum has 4 meter swell from northwest and the wind blows sideshore for the 4.0 sail

- Sidi Ifni still gets 2 meter swell and the trades breeze light and sideoffshore

All the mentioned places have more or less the same distance to Agadir. Where do you go?

Flo: Hmmm, tough question! As the surf´s up Okaimeden is out. I get much better snowboarding at home. Moulay could be really good. In Sidi ifni I once got very sick from the dirty water and often it was disappointing.

But once I had exactly these conditions. Perfect swell direction, about 2 meters and offshore....

I think I would try it again!

datrip: Thanks for the interview! It was a pleasure!
