Keshia has been busy doing the Grom search events ( she came 2nd in her last one at Ribeira D'Ilhas ) and the next one was during the Ocean Spirit Festival in Santa Cruz. It was a full day with all age groups competing, excellent waves and plenty of sun.
Keshia managed to do it again and came 2nd which means, another set of FCS fins....funny when she is sponsored by Futures and the event was a Rip Curl contest......and a place in the European Finals which will this year will be in Peniche during the WCT event, in October.
Last weekend was another round of the Portuguese Nationals, this time in Viana do Castelo. Blessed with amazing weather and glassy waves on the first couple of days, Keshia found her rhythm scoring second highest in the whole event. The final day, the swell picked up and the waves were bumpy making it harder to be in the right spot. After much searching Keshia only managed to get a couple of average waves, placing her in 3rd place.
The trophies where made by an association of mentally handicapped children from Viana and they are the traditional symbol of that area, called Cabecudos meaning ...big head!! Pretty original and certainly unique.
Next stop for the Nationals will be Sines at the end of September :)
