Sunday at the Beach
It is Sunday, the neighbourhood is shining with joy. the
The board was made for me by my father in his workshop. He had been in Long Beach (California) during his military service (1971) and the image of those surfers riding the waves had stayed with him.
You can say that having a handyman father has been very useful in all this surfing.
The second board we bought was from a stand of the Salón Náutico that had it half tared in exhibition but not for sale. He repaired it. Then he also got at a good price for the rudimentary Choke boards from El Corte Inglés that were broken.
At that time only a few windsurfing sails could be seen on the Barceloneta beach.
Sporadically you could see some tourists or foreign workers of the marina but nothing else. I remember some surfers from the Basque Country, where surfing was already more common. Before the breakwaters, the Barceloneta beach was not covered, and a small but regular wave was created which was very exciting for those of us who were just starting out. We used to use our own windsurf board. Then people from Castelldefels and Badalona who had traveled to other countries and continents and already practiced specifically surfing came. Finally, it became more frequent with the Olympics and the tourist boom.
