Only last week we were driving past Aveiro after the Nationals in Porto and 4 days later, here we are again.
Aveiro is a great place, has amazing waves, beaches and food :)
It is actually in the running for the 7 wonders of the ocean here in Portugal, where you can vote for the 7 best beaches in Portugal. It has super clean long beaches with sand that feels like flour ( actually not something I really like cause it gets everywhere ) but still feels amazing.
The contest this time was just for Keshia and Klaus as it is for Under 18's only.
Friday was the first day with both Keshia and Klaus entering the water. Waves were pretty small but still fun size.
Keshia won her first heat of the girls comfortably and moved to the next round.
Klaus was also in and got through his first heat without any problems and same in the next one. The semis for Klaus were slightly different, snapping his leash with 5 minutes to go, he needed a 3.90 to advance, scored a 3.75 and had no time to come in and get a new one to try and increase his score.
Still a good show from Klaus :)
Keshia was also in on Saturday as she enters in the Boys Under 18's.
First heat ( 6 men in the water...well in this case 5 men and 1 girl ) was pretty easy and Keshia got 2nd and moved to the next round.
She then had the last heat of the day with again 5 guys with her.
The portuguese National Under 16's champion and runner up in the Under 18's was in the same heat as Keshia.
The waves were big and hard to get in position but that did not bother Keshia and she paddled harder than most boys, getting 2nd place and leaving his needing 5.56 go move up :)
She got a big cheer from everyone on the beach, representing girl power hahaha ;)
Sunday was the final day and only Keshia was surfing.
The semis were pretty easy with Keshia having a combined score of 11.50. Waver were big adn powerful so it suited her style of surfing perfectly.
Finals were held, for once, in the best tides and conditions for the girls.
With 25 minutes heat, Keshia made sure she dominated from the started scoring a 5.50 in her first wave and building scores form then on.
After 10 minutes, she had the rest of the girls needing a combination and the heat was pretty much over with a combined total score of 14.00 ( a 6.5 and a 7.5 )
A great weekend for both Kehsia and Klaus. Rakings are not updated yet but we know for sure Kehsia is leading the Under 18's girls and giving the Under 18's boys a good run for their money.
Will update rankings as soon as they are out.
Thanks to everyone once again :)
A break from National events now for the summer, next one will be Royan in France to kick off the Pro Junior Season :)
