Luis got the confirmation for a Pro Junior event inEngland, around 5 days before. So flights booked, accommodation, airport pick up, new boards ordered and he was on his way.
Arriving in Bristol, after leaving Lisbon with around 35 degrees and being greeted with 17 degrees and rain was....well I would say expected for England.
The contests was held at Fistral beach and started on Friday afternoon. Waves we re not too great and it was windy which made thing hard for everyone to be in position.
It went well anyway and Luis finished the day with a pass to the semi finals.
Saturday was a different story as waves were much better and clean and a pretty nice size.
The semi final could have easily been a final but Luis made it through that one and claimed his spot in the final.
He was not happy with how he had been surfing the whole weekend, despite always winning his heats and getting good scores so, I think the anger paid off and he went out fighting with full gloves and punch bag in his final heat. Scores just over 16.00 points combined and leaving the rest in combination.
Sometimes, its good to be angry :)
Anyway the final result was great and Luis took the title !
Another great event, thanks to everyone that made it possible. A short trip for Luis but worth every minute he was there.
