Hello friends,
Straight after the PWA Pozo event, we had the Spanish Cup in Pozo this weekend. The conditions where pretty much the same as during the PWA event, but warmer and a bit gustier.
On Saturday we could finish the single elimination, I was sailing very consistent and was feeling super confident. But just before quarter finals I got a big cut under my foot and it was difficult to sail because my foot it was hurting so much, I was putting all my energy out there to keep going. Anyhow I made it into the final and meet my friend Victor Fernandez.
The conditions weren't really happening in the final and it was hard to find good waves, and my foot wasn't really helping either. Victor took the 1 st place in the final.
The level of the local young talents is incredible, young kids like Omar, José, Alessio, Moritz and Pablito who are absolutely ripping out there, these kids will soon be top names on the PWA tour - respect!
The following day we had the double elimination. I woke up the day after and my feet was not better and I was thinking to do not compete because I couldn't even do walk but the head judged push me to go just to try. The event doctor patched med together and I was able to hit the water!
On the semifinals I was against my friend and team mate Dario Ojeda who was climbing towards the semifinal, his sailing very consistent, beating all the young locals who was sailing amazing. I was sailing with a lot of pain in my foot in this heat but in a really close heat I got 3 judged decition for me and two for Dario, so I was able to keep my second place but i couldn't go sailing again in the final against Victor because I couldn't even walk.
Anyway I'm stoked with the second place and I just hope to get better to be ready for the next Spanish Cup that will take place in Tenerife next weekend.
From here I would like to congratulate Victor for wining and my team mate Dario for his 3rd place! And for sure congratulate all the new generation for their level, keep ripping....
Thanks to Richard Aleman for all the pictures and Jose Piña for the podium picture thanks a lot...
Final results.
1ºVictor Fernandez

Saludos!
