Sardinia Pt II

The trip is going great! We went to Sardinia for a couple of days then went back to the mainland of Italy. After a couple days in Viareggio there was a new swell approaching Sardinia predicted to be just as good as the last. Gotcha team rider Glenn "Micro" Hall, Richard "Dog" Marsh head of Gotcha European PR, and the first Italian surfer and Italian legend Alessandro Dini joined me to experience some fun Mediterranean surf. The week was was full of fun, overhead surf. None of us expected so much swell in such a small body of water. Richard even brought along a jet ski to do some tow-ats and step-offs and we ended up using it to tow in for a session. We surfed about five different spots along the central west coast of Sardinia. Luckily, local Marco Testarella guided us to all the best breaks and also accomodated us at his very nice hotel called Menhirs in Putzu Idu.
