ONLY THE BRAVE: XXL TENERIFE!ONLY THE BRAVE: XXL TENERIFE!When powerful low-pressure systems sweep across the Canary Islands in winter, they can unleash truly XXL conditions along Tenerifes rugged north shore. For years, a fearless crew of local sailorspioneered by Dany Bruchhave been chasing these rare, intense days when the wind and swell line up. This is the story of one of those days earlier this year, when everything came together and the island delivered conditions that were simply off the scale.Words and photos: Andr Ludewig and Simona AllesandriClick on any photo to enlarge and scroll!PRELUDEThe trade winds, typical for the Canary Islands, regularly blow across the well-known windsurfing spots of Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura. Low-pressure systems that move eastward north of the Canaries disrupt this pattern.When that happens, Tenerife offers fantastic windsurfing conditions with waves up to mast heigh in Las Amricas. The spot at Fitenia also works perfectly, with the slopes of the Teno Mountains acting as a natural wind accelerator. If the wind turns onshore, this acceleration effect disappears due to wind shadowing on the windward side.DISCOVERYBack in 2007, Dany Bruch and a few friends began searching for surfable alternatives in the north. Some spots were already known, such as Punta de Hidalgo. The rocky coastline makes relaxed beach starts impossible anywhere. Usually for these spots the gear has to be thrown into the water from several meters above, the sailor jumps in after it and after a few strong swimming strokes between the sets, the danger zone is cleared.Dany chose a spot whose wave had never before seen a windsurfer. Since the wind there experienced no natural acceleration, he was the only one to reach the impact zone, using a 100-liter board and a 5.8 m sail. At the time, spectacular photos and videos showing double-mast-high waves caused quite a stir in the scene. Low-pressure systems rarely develop into true tropical storms, but now when they do, a handful of experienced big-wave windsurfers regularly make a pilgrimage to the north coast of Tenerife.ACTION STATIONSOne such day was set to be April 3, 2025. Weather services issued storm warnings, and in high spirits, jet skis were checked, waterproof camera housings prepared, and batteries charged. This time, nothing was to be left to chance. Even during the mountain crossing, with the first view of the northern coast, huge waves were already visible. Whitecaps everywhereso it was clearly going to be windy.On site, the final checks of the windsurfing equipment were made, and the last decisions on sail sizes were taken. The wind was gusty and offshore, making it very hard to judge. Martin Ovsik opted for a 4.0m sail and Jochen Stolz played it safe with a 5.0m.They were joined by slalom world champion Matteo Iachino, local veteran Ivn Hernndez (with many years of experience on the north coast) and Nikodem Merlak. Dany Bruch was still recovering from a foot injury and drove one of the two jet skis. The other was manned by Martin Ovsik and his friend Pelda. The jet skis mainly provided safety support and filmed from the perspective inside the wave troughs.MISSIONOn foot, I covered the 3 km to the point break to take photos from land and air. As forecasted, the weather created a dramatic backdrop: heavy rain showers, stormy gusts, dark skies alternating with bursts of sunchanging every minute. At the spot, I was greeted by towering spray and flying sea spray.Jochen was already there, testing the first waves. Gradually, the other guys arrived and delivered spectacular rides on waves sometimes more than double mast-high. Conditions were extremely gusty, everyone was either flying or balancing.Timing and wave selection were super tricky. Martin once entered too high, bottom-turned too low, and was washed over the rocks by a larger set. He and his undamaged gear were rescued by a jet skiall good!There were a few more wipeouts, but all ended safely. The only real issue came with the drone, which, despite its 70 km/h speed and 30% remaining battery, reported that it couldnt return to its starting point. A strong gust nearly prevented it from covering the 450 m back to shore. Adrenaline pumping, I managed to catch it again at 8% battery.At the end of the day, when everyone was already back on land, Dany decided he couldnt just stick to supporting from the jet ski so he headed back out!DANY BRUCHThe forecast that day was insane.The day was incredible! It was big and windy. I had Simona Alessandri, marketing boss of Bruch Boards and the Wind Centre, on board. She took the best photos Ive seen of the spot so far.The guys really stepped on the gas: Jochen had the biggest sets under control, Martin ripped properly but disappeared for 20 seconds in a monster washing machine, Matteo showed that he is an experienced windsurfer, Nikodem had his first big wave experience and Iban The Man!!!!Together with Peter Huhn, he showed me their secret spots in the north of the island 20 years ago. I was so pumped! I was still not fully recovered from my wipe out at the World Cup in the summer but i could not resist! At the end of the day, I took my Zodiac jet ski to finally capture those dream barrel shots guys, you could fit a bus in there! I was so hooked on the action, I wanted to catch a few waves in the evening, but when setting up from the jet ski, I lost the extension okay, next time!Years ago, it was Dany who motivated me to look for remote spots in the north that also offer waves as big as the ones I already knew from Brittany. In the meantime, weve surfed almost every wave here and we know this spot from many sessions. The waves here arent the best, fastest or cleanest, but the higher the swell, the better it works like today. I was fully focussed, we certainly have the most dangerous conditions on the island here. In the end, I was able to score good waves and had a lot of fun with a handful of friends and the most intense nature experiences.The post ONLY THE BRAVE: XXL TENERIFE! appeared first on Windsurf Magazine.

With a focus on safety, skill development, and adventure, the company provides courses and trips that showcase Norways stunning coastal landscapes.Musandam, Oman. Fjords, headlands and seas of changeThe Musandam Peninsula stands out as one of the most dramatic seakayaking destinations in the Arabian region. It is a place where steep mountains drop straight into the water, where remote coves, island cliffs, hidden shores, and a rich marine world meet a culture very grounded in the sea.For anyone looking for wild paddle adventures that combine sea, shore, wildlife, culture, and remoteness, Musandam is hard to beat. This article gives a detailed look at what youll find in geography, climate, wildlife, people & economy, and what you need to know practicallystarting from the town of Khasab and visiting Khor Najd, the exposed coast around Jazirat Musandam, and headlands with strong tidal currents.GeographyMusandam is a rugged, mountainous exclave of Oman, separated from the main part of the country by territory belonging to the United Arab Emirates. It has a population of around 49,000 clustered around coastal communities. The coastline is deeply indented by fjord-like inlets (called khors) and small islands (jazirat). Mountains (jebel) of the Western Hajar range rise steeply from the sea, creating dramatic cliffs up to 1,200 m in places. The elevation in places (for example, Jebel Harim) reaches almost 2,087 metres.Places like Khor ash Sham offer striking contrasts: high ridges overlooking narrow sea arms, remote shores, sheer rock faces, rocky beaches, occasional sandy patches, small offshore islands, and exposed headlands battered by wind and waves. The exposed coast around Jazirat Musandam (Musandam Islands) in the Strait of Hormuz offers open water more directly exposed to the Gulf of Oman winds, swell, and sometimes strong currents.Political situationMusandams strategic value is high: it overlooks the Strait of Hormuz, one of the worlds most important maritime chokepoints. A large fraction of global oil shipments transits via the Strait, making Musandam geopolitically sensitive. Oman retains sovereignty and control over its waters and territory here, though the nearby presence of Iran across the water and the proximity of the UAE on land mean the area has long been of strategic, military and diplomatic interest.The governorate is administered by Oman, with provincial divisions (wilayats) including Khasab (the capital), Bukha, Dibba Al-Baya, and the exclave of Madha. There is an increasing push in Oman to develop Musandam sustainably while balancing tourism, local livelihoods (fishing, agriculture), and environmental protection.Oman has chosen an opposite path to its more flamboyant neighbour, Dubai, in urban planning and architecture. Where Dubai has pursued spectacle, verticality and hyper-modernity, Oman has leaned into heritage, restrictions on high-scale buildings and cultural authenticity.PopulationWhile Omans overall population is over 5.2 million, Musandam is sparsely populated compared to many other governorates.In Musandam, most of the population lives in small towns such as Khasab, Bukha, Dibba al-Bayah, and Madha, as well as numerous smaller villages. The local people include tribes such as the Shihuh, who often have a history of both mountain and sea livelihoods fishing, herding, navigation (by dhow and boat), small-scale agriculture, date palms, and vegetable gardens in wadis.Arabic is the official language, and other local variants, such as Kumzari, exist. The Kumzari language is a blend of Arabic, Farsi, Swahili, Hindi and Portuguese. These languages reflect Oman`s past as a nation of traders and colonisers.Culturally, life is tied closely to the sea and the mountains. Hospitality is strong, and many small villages retain traditional ways of life, including boat building, fishing, dhow travel, and local crafts.Climate and weatherExpect hot, arid coastal conditions for much of the year. Summers (roughly May through September) are very hot, especially at sea level, and often humid along the coast. Temperatures can exceed 40C in exposed, low-lying areas. Rain is rare, though occasional showers may fall in winter (roughly November through March). At higher elevations, nights can get cool; some wadis or mountain slopes may experience significantly lower temperatures.The best season for sea kayaking, wildlife watching (especially dolphins), comfortable hiking and camping tends to be in the cooler months roughly October through March. March is often a good shoulder season: fewer crowds, manageable temperatures. Winds, humidity, sea conditions, and daylight hours will factor in: mornings tend to be calmer; afternoons can bring wind, a sea breeze, and potentially choppier water, especially along exposed coastlines. Be prepared for rapid changes.Marine and animal lifeDolphins: Multiple species have been identified in Musandam. A recent marine survey found seven distinct dolphin species, including spinner, striped, Indian Ocean humpback, long-beaked and spotted common dolphins.Sea turtles: Hawksbill turtles and others use reefs and shallow water areas.Fish and reef life: Coral reefs exist around many of the islands and in the khors; groupers, reef fish, clownfish, parrotfish, and other tropical species are present. Snorkelling and diving are possible in many bays.Birds: Migratory and resident seabirds, including ospreys and other raptors, shorebirds, and wading birds, frequent the cliffs and islands. Nesting sites on remote islands are essential for several seabird species.Land animals and plants: In the mountains, sparse scrub, drought-adapted shrubs, some oleander, wild olive in lower altitudes, juniper at higher elevations, occasional wadi vegetation in seasonal watercourses. Wildlife on land is more limited, but the remoteness helps preserve what is there. Larger mammals are rare; animal life tends to be small, hardy species adapted to arid mountain climates.Paddling in MusandamTogether with local operator Bashar Al Huneidi, from Gulf Kayak Academy in Kuwait, we set off from the busy harbour of Khasab. Our goal was to explore Khor as Sham and the exposed coastline in the Strait of Hormuz.By midday, we were deep inside Khor ash Sham. Steep, ochre-coloured ridges frame a maze of hidden beaches, and ospreys fly overhead. Dolphins appear, slipping through the water alongside your kayak before vanishing into the depths. On a small gravel spit, we made our camp, the only sound the echo of goat bells from the cliffs. The sunset coloured everything deep orange and pink, the heat still radiating as darkness fell and the first stars became visible. The area has low light pollution, and the Milky Way soon became our wilderness TV entertainment.On the third day, we left the shelter of the fjords and headed out along the exposed Strait of Hormuz. Iran is only a 50-kilometre paddle away, we casually joke to each other. The water grows livelier here, swells rolling in from the Gulf of Oman, and the mountains fall directly into the deep blue sea. A traditional wooden dhow drifts past, its crew hauling fishing nets. That evening, we slept on a remote beach surrounded by steep cliffs and a view of the open seas.The next morning, we rounded one of the headlands where the tidal currents can reach five knots, the sea boiling in overfalls. Timing either the slack or the full force of the current, you can slip through and into the open Strait of Hormuz, its narrow shipping lanes with tankers floating by. This narrow stretch of water, so vital to the worlds trade, feels vast and wild from the cockpit of a kayak.From Iran come traders and smugglers on fast boats. They pass close by and wave as they go full speed to their destination. Both countries tolerate the activity, as embargoed goods are in high demand in Iran and, traditionally, sheep are imported from Iran to Oman.Days end with beach camps on remote shores, hikes up into barren mountains where the view stretches from Omani cliffs to Irans hazy coast, and evenings sharing stories over homemade Chai (tea). By the time wed paddle back into Khasab five days later, the Musandam had shown you its whole character tranquil fjords, powerful tides, abundant dolphins, ancient villages and star-filled skies.A journey here is more than just a paddle; its a passage through one of the last wild maritime frontiers of Arabia.

Words: Lisa DrewePhotos: Lisa Drewe & Botley Brewery on route 6Lisa Drewe10 of the best paddling routes in London and the South EastFrom tranquil riverbanks to vibrant city canals, here are ten scenic paddleboarding escapes within easy reach of London.There are few better ways to explore South East England than by paddleboard. With hundreds of paddleable waterways spanning Greater London and 12 surrounding counties, the region offers an astonishing variety from wide estuaries and vibrant city canals to wild coastlines and chalk streams. In my new book, Paddleboarding London and South East England, Ive selected over 100 of the best routes to showcase this diversity, where stand-up paddleboarding offers a unique perspective on these landscapes gliding quietly through nature reserves, market towns and even past some of Londons most iconic landmarks. With little more than a board, paddle and a sense of curiosity, you can uncover unknown corners of the countryside or find unexpected calm in the heart of the capital often just steps from a train station, towpath or beachside caf.From the quiet reed beds of Cambridgeshire to the regal curves of the Thames, these are ten of my favourite routes from the book each one offering something unique and a touch of adventure. They are all routes I return to, enjoying them differently in changing seasons and tides. Here are ten of the best to try this summer.1. Regents Canal: Paddington to Kings Cross, Greater London (5km one way)One of Londons most iconic paddles, the Regents Canal offers a journey through the citys hidden layers scenic, surprising and quietly exhilarating. Set off from the mirrored glass of modern Paddington Basin and head east through the charm of Little Venice (portaging at Maida Hill Tunnel). From there, the route passes the leafy edges of Regents Park, where you might glimpse wolves and monkeys in the riverside enclosures of London Zoo.Further on, the floating red pagoda of the Feng Shang Princess restaurant rises from the water like something from a film set, while Camden Lock brings a burst of market energy and street art. Continue past the historic gasholders of St Pancras Basin before finishing at Coal Drops Yard a great spot for a well-earned post-paddle coffee. This route is like a gallery in motion, with murals, moorings and masonry weaving together a portrait of hidden London. Best enjoyed in the quieter hours, with less boat traffic.https://islandeering.com/paddleboarding-paddington-to-kings-cross/2. Wey Navigation:Weybridge to Desborough Island, Surrey (13.5km return)This peaceful stretch of the Wey Navigation is among my favourite Surrey paddles broad, tree-lined and teeming with wildlife. Setting off from Weybridge, youll follow the waterway north-west, passing historic mill sites toward Desborough Island, a narrow, leafy refuge nestled between two channels of the Thames, and a great place to see watervoles.You can pause at DOyly Carte Island once home to the opera impresario Richard DOyly Carte, of Gilbert and Sullivan fame. While the island itself is private, its caf is open to the public oozing Victorian-era charm it serves excellent crepes.https://islandeering.com/paddleboarding-weybridge-to-desborough-island/3. Broadstairs to Botany Bay, Kent (11.5km return)A spectacular paddle along the Kent coastline, during calm conditions. Launch from Dumpton Bay, just south of Broadstairs a genteel resort known for its golden sands and Victorian charm and head north beneath gleaming chalk cliffs. Paddle beneath the turreted clifftop castle above Kingsgate Bay before reaching Botany Bay, a striking arc of sand flanked by high white cliffs and the bays signature sea stacks. Its a route that delivers coastal drama in spades, with wheeling seabirds, hidden coves, and glinting sunlight on open sea.https://islandeering.com/paddleboarding-broadstairs-to-botany-bay/4. River Stour: Chartham to Canterbury, Kent (5.5km one-way)Journey along a rare chalk stream for a unique perspective of Englands original pilgrims destination. Launch at Chartham, just south-west of Canterbury, and follow the Great Stour as it winds through tranquil meadows and beneath overhanging willows into the heart of this historic city. As the river narrows, the scenery transforms from rural calm to medieval intrigue. Duck beneath beams rumoured to have come from the Spanish Armada, spot the old witches ducking stool en route, and spot the spire of Canterbury Cathedral. This river, once shaped by monks, now reworked by beavers, gives a rare and peaceful perspective on one of Englands most storied cities.https://islandeering.com/paddleboarding- chartham-to-canterbury/5. Malden Loop, Essex (9km return)A circular adventure through saltmarsh, estuary and inland water, this loop begins at Heybridge Basin, where the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation meets the sea. Paddle out into the tidal waters of Colliers Reach, then turn inland on the tidal Chelmer, tracing a broad curve past the low-lying nature reserve of Northey Island, Maldons historic quay where the rust-red sails of Thames barges sit alongside weathered boatyards and centuries-old pubs. Reach the weir at Beeleigh Falls, then return beneath willows and along narrow, reed-lined cuts, back to the bustle of the basin.Route details and special points: https://islandeering.com/paddleboarding-maldon-loop/6. River Hamble: Swanwick to Botley, Hampshire (13.5km return)A gentle paddle through the Hampshire countryside that begins at Swanwick Marina and meanders north to the village of Botley. Once past the bustle of the marina, the Hamble becomes peaceful, its banks shaded by overhanging trees full of birdlife. Part-way, the Floaters Caf offers tea and cake served directly from a boat hatch. For a tide-assisted journey, head out on the flood tide and return with the ebb. Time it right, and you can glide into Botley at high tide and moor up below the Hidden Tap Brewery, where drinks are conveniently lowered to you on your board. All in all, its a surprisingly effortless trip with quirky riverside hospitality.https://islandeering.com/paddleboarding-swanwick-to-botley/7. Cuckmere River: Exceat to Alfriston, East Sussex (12km return)In the shadow of the South Downs, the Cuckmere River winds through meadows and beneath chalk hills in one of Sussexs most picturesque valleys. Launch at Exceat and head inland along the gently narrowing tidal river towards Alfriston a village brimming with timber-framed charm, independent cafs and traditional pubs. The route is peaceful, flanked by open fields and reed beds, often with little more than birdsong and the rustle of grass for company. A spring or early summer paddle here, with skylarks overhead and the Downs rising around you, is absolute magic.https://islandeering.com/paddleboarding-exceat-to-alfriston/8. Reach to Wicken Fen, Cambridgeshire (12km return)This atmospheric paddle explores two of Cambridgeshires ancient lodes narrow, reed-fringed waterways once used for transporting peat and sedge. Launch from the village of Reach and head toward Wicken Fen, the National Trusts oldest nature reserve and a haven for marsh harriers, dragonflies and wild Konik ponies. The route is calm and deeply immersive, with skies that stretch for miles and the constant rustle of reeds in the wind. You can walk to the caf at Wicken Fen visitors centre. Then, after drifting back through this timeless wetland to Reach, reward yourself with a pint or lunch at The Dykes End a gem of a pub nestled on the village green.https://islandeering.com/paddleboarding-wicken-fen/9. River Thames: Marlow to Maidenhead, Buckinghamshire (11km one way)Arguably one of the most picturesque journeys along the Thames, this route blends pastoral charm with literary heritage. Launch in the elegant town of Marlow and meander past Quarry Wood Hall a river stretch said to have inspired Kenneth Grahames The Wind in the Willows. The river winds past Cookham and the Ferry Inn with its waterside terrace. Further downstream, the grandeur of Cliveden House comes into view, perched on high chalk cliffs cloaked by trees from around the world, before finishing at Boulters Lock near Maidenhead.https://islandeering.com/paddleboarding-marlow-to-maidenhead/10. Oxford Canal & Thames: Wolvercote Loop, Oxfordshire (11.5km return)Begin on the tranquil Oxford Canal at Isis Lock, a stones throw from the bustle of the city centre, and embark on a loop that blends narrow waterway intimacy with the grandeur of open river. Head north past ivy-clad bridges and moored narrowboats before joining the Thames via Dukes Cut a short channel that once linked Oxford to the wider trading network. Beyond, the river broadens as it flows past Kings Eyot and Pixey Mead. Pause at The Trout Inn, a 17th-century pub made famous by Colin Dexters Inspector Morse, then paddle on past the haunting ruins of Godstow Abbey and the grazed Port Meadow to return to Isis Lock, conveniently close to Oxfords rail station.https://islandeering.com/paddleboarding-oxford-wolvercote-loop/Paddle Boarding London & the South EastFinal word Whether youre chasing seabirds along a chalk coast, gliding past barges in the city, or floating beneath the willow trees of a secluded stream, the waterways of London and the South East offer paddleboarding at its most varied and inspiring.
