The rights were definitely holding up better but there were a few sick lefts rolling in.  Jackson Obando from Gigante was ripping hard in the 16's division.

We got the day started with the open's semifinal where Andrew was fightin' to get a spot in the finals.  Dropping deep on waves like this, pulled into a few sick barrel sections, but he didn't make any.  This was his last heat!

The open division was the most fighted category, surfing level was pretty high and everyone was doing the best to keep it.  Isaac from Chinandega with a cool little floater on his backhand.

La Bestia Calderon was disposed to win this contest but it wasn't an easy task.  He did good in the semis but he wasn't too lucky in the final.

La Gaviota Chamorro didn't have a good taste from the past contest at Playa Maderas so he trained harder to win this one.  With powerful backside snaps.

El Corage Hernandez did fly to the states a couple days ago, that means that we are going to have a new champion in the longboard division.  Pedrito La Mole Florez ripped a few waves, probably enough to keep the tittle.
