Riders were released today after skipper’s briefing due to a lack of wind, so we organized a wave surfing competition. The show started in the afternoon with nice waves as the tide was going down. 2 girls and not less than 18 men competed for the title. Here are the results:

Women
1st Kirsty JONES (UK)
2nd Gabi STEINDL (AUT)

Men
1st Juan LU (SPA)
2nd Jose LUENGO (SPA)
