Two weekends, two finals, one win :)
Its been a great start of the year.
The first contest was the Portuguese Nationals in Costa da Caparica. The waves were not exactly as we had experienced in Hawaii, to say the least, it was more like a ripple in a big lake.
But conditions are the same for everyone and we had to do with what we had. Other the 2 days contest, it was more of a lottery and anything else as, if you were lucky to catch a wave, you could almost guarantee a win.
Keshia did her best, going out on a super small board and trying to come to terms with surfing " a slight movement in the ocean "
She came 4th in the Girls Under 18's so, not a bad start for the first contests.
This weekend was a slightly different story.
It was the Samadi Regional contest, again in Costa da Caparica and we were surprised with nice offshore wind and pretty good conditions.
A great turnout made it almost like the Nationals last weekend so Keshia knew what she was against and what she had to do.
Scoring high and being able to show her level of surfing rather than who could catch a wave, made Keshia sail through to the final and claim first place :)
A first win in many to come we hope ! Keep checking and we will keep you updated.
Thanks everyone :)
