Keshia wins Ericeira Surf Contest

The 3rd event of the Ericeira surf contest was on this weekend after many attempts.

Great waves with a solid 1.5m on Saturday and slightly smaller on Sunday.

Both Keshia and Klaus only went in on Sunday sailing through their heats to the final but with slightly different results.

Keshia found the winning wave at the start of her heat scoring an 8.5 and getting a back up of 4.8 points and she seemed to have taken them all, leaving none for Klaus as he did not find good potential scoring waves and ending 4th overall.

An excellent weekend with great waves, weather and friends.

Thanks to everyone from the organization to the club, sponsors etc :)

Will see you all in a couple of weeks time for the final event and the crowing of the Ericeira Surf Champ :)

Keep you posted x

Keshia is Under 18's Girls National Champion

This weekend was the last event of the National Championships.

Keshia has already a pretty strong lead over the other competitors, having won 3 events out of 5, not having been present on one of them due to a European Pro Junior event and 4th in the first event of the year.

As this one was the final, the points where higher and only available to the top 16 in the final ranking.

The waves were solid 2.5 meters on Saturday and the girls had trouble getting back to the outside, once they caught the first wave.
Keshia came out strong with a solid score and therefor guaranteeing a place in the semi finals.

Sunday was a lot more mellow although that made the wave slow and fat and pretty inconsistent.
Even so, Keshia did the job and won her semi and a spot in the final.
With that alone, she was crowned National Under 18' Champion.

With 3 more years in the same category, I am sure we will be seeing a few more titles :)

Thanks to everyone that was there, the organizers of the tour, the federation and all the sponsors.

See you next year :)

Luis is Pro Junior Champion

Last weekend was the final of a series of 8 events for the UK Pro Surf Tour.
Not only did Luis win the final event in Newquay but he also claimed the UK PRO JUNIOR CHAMPION title and was named  Most Promising Junior for 2011.

At the Gala dinner, Luis was called when they announced the Most Promising Junior title....he was speechless, totally took him by surprise. He is not one for big speeches so, having to do 2...was a major thing :)

A great way to finish the year for Luis and big congratulations to him.

Thank you to all the sponsors and organizes of the Tour for making it happen :)
