Once again, we were present at the new edition of Salinas Longboard Festival 2015. A longboard and retro surfing event that cannot be missed. Although it is becoming exponentially more crowded each year, the festival continues to maintain its soul surfing identity. This year we shared space with our great friend/foe, Iron Mountain Surfboards, a shaper focused on longboards and retro boards. We also had the pleasant company of some members of The Nasty Laybacks, Antón and Michi, who enjoyed the festival much more than others, and not only thanks to the swell that this edition provided. Another surprising visit was from Aboiando, who arrived in his Seat 600 with his board strapped to the roof (considerably larger than the car itself). He made a mandatory stop on his trip from Santiago en route to Motorbeach, at La Espasa beach. Hurricane-force winds caused chairs, awnings, and other items to fly happily around the area; if there isn't a proper gale, it's not the Salinas Longboard Festival. We also highlight the excellent performance at the tunnel party by Los Chicos and Novedades Carmiña. Good doses of R 'n' R made the audience vibrate. It also helped a couple of "Uranium Hands" (petty thieves) to literally make a killing during the performance. From here, we wish them all the worst and twisted karma for the rest of their days. In general, apart from specific incidents, the atmosphere was very good and highly recommended. We also thank Andrés Santander for the photographic contribution.
