Surfing on Storm Herminia
Storm Herminia raged fiercely west of the British Isles in January 2025 hitting Spain and France with full force.
Olivier Consorti, owner of “OLM Perfectionnement Mer Formée” and his client started a challenging training session.
They were in the legendary waters of the Raz de Sein, France. This happened in the aftermath of the storm.
This is a place where currents, waves, and wind test even the most experienced navigators.
The goal of this training by OLM, was to learn to make the right trajectory choices based on wave reading.
It included adjusting speed and embracing the occasional saltwater shower. They also accepted the support of Randy, the local wild dolphin!
I’ve posted more training videos of advanced navigation experiences in one of the most challenging tidal races in Europe: OLM training sessions.
Recently I wrote an extensive easy-to-read article about what the focus of these training sessions is: Elevating Technical Mastery Driving RIBs
This video was published on the OLM Perfectionnement Mer Formée YouTube channel.
