I think Loft is based in Southern Spain at Tarifa so its probably there. Don't break down as next stop will be Morroco.

Nice GoPro action!

On a clear day Morroco looks like it's a short sail away, Ludo told me if you break something next stop is more likely Nth America

Monty's(Loft) home spot Tarifa, i think years ago there used to be a Speed event held there, Snags the action in the surf must look like your speed spot at Yaspoon

My question where is Loft based, was a retorical one.
The beach is La Jaima @ Tarifa. In the beginning you can recognize the tower of the town in the background.

Oops my bad Didn't realise just how narrow the Straights of Gibraltar are too - only 16 kms from Tarifa to Africa.

If only we got offshore winds like that in Yeppoon - speedsailing heaven.

Probably one or two decent ones a year mid winter. Need to be one the ball to sail them as they only seem to last 2 to 3 hours max. Beautiful to sail in the bay although like any offshore wind it's up & down.
