Pozo was on fire during the first PWA!!

The competiton started on the 12th, after the running of the men’s trails.

On sunday I was pretty nervous already in the morning, because the wind was pretty strong and I wasn’t sure about which sail to use. I had my 3.0, 3.4. 3.7 rigged on the beach, and was sailing with the 3.0 just before the heat.  In the afternoon the single of the girls started, I was ok with my 3.0, managed to land some nice forwards of  6 points and some waveriding.

After passing my first heat, again as last year I had my second one against Daida, so I finished the single with a 5th place. I was happy, because I couldn’t have done better.

On monday the skipper’s meeting was at 7:30, the girls started at around 10 am with the high tide, so after few heats,  competition was stopped to wait for a better tide.

My first heat of the double was against the canadian girl Ingrid Lauroche, a strong girl used to starboard tack wind. I won the heat with forwards, tabletops and some nice waves. Just the time to check the points, I was in the water again against Alice Arutkin this time. We both were overpowered, doing forwards was not easy and I was overpowered even in the waveriding, but I did my best and I came out of the water, seeing some friends of mine with the thumbs up! I passed again!

Tired but happy, I put again my streamer on the sail, and I sailed against Steffi Wahl, I was pretty tired and overpowered and Steffi just sailed amazing with nice backside surfing and some nice forwards. I came out of the water this time to relax finally and happy to have reached the 6th place.

I feel I have improved both in the jumps and in the waveriding during these last months, and I am motivated to keep travelling, competing and training.

Thanks to Marc Paré helping me on the beach,  Pozo Clinics for motivating and John Skye for the help!
