2airs = 1 win

This weekend was the Portuguese Under 18]s Nationals in Aveiro.
we could not have asked for better conditions for the 1st two days. Waves around 1.5 to 2 meters and beautiful sunshine.
The first heat didnt go too well for Luis but he still went through in 2nd place. two more rounds winning all his heats got him in the final on Sunday.
I think Neptune got excited with the heat and gave us all the waves he had on Friday / Saturday, meaning Sunday was super small but perfect clean conditions.
Luis started off well in his final, getting the first wave in with a low score of 3.5. The other competitors got a wave each after that with scores around 5 points.
Luis knew he had to change his plan as he was not getting the scores he needed ( the big sets were just not there ) so he decided to go for AIR ! And that was it, two double grabs, and one sick wave got him a total score of 14.00 points.
Excellent weekend, amazing performance.
