3 EYRES, 3 FINALS



Two weekends ago we had the first part of the Ericeira Surf Club contest with all age categories and amazing prizes...there are trips to Maldives, surf boards, street cruisers, skate boards, clothes, restaurant vouchers and much more.
The 1st weekend was held at Praia do Norte with huge waves, allowing only the open and Under 18's to go in and show us how to surf those unseasonable swells.
Luis entered both Under 18's and Open. The open was first and he sailed through all the way to the semis, finishing his run in 3rd place.
The Under 18's went in on Sunday and due to the increase swell, they had their work cut out with long paddles.
Luis scored two high 7's, leaving the second place in combination. Claiming first place, gets him closer to winning some great goodies at the end of the season.
This weekend it was Keshia and Klaus' turn to shine and so they did. They decided to put all age groups together for the girls and Keshia come out a clear winner on that one, specially when they moved to contest to Ribeira, it's home to her now:)
Klaus has a great semi final with a 7.5 and a 6 but, did not manage to find the strength to carry it through to the final to win 1st place, but a 2nd is nothing to complain about !

There were also Masters, Retro and Jurasics, making it a super fun and full event with BBQ and drinks at the end of the day :)
A great event, lots of friends around and fun for everyone. Next one will be the first week in September at Ribeira.
