A weird start for the 8th and last day of the contest from down here at Playa Colorados.  This morning all the action began at 8am and the conditions were not the best but there were still some fun waves to be had.  Head high plus on the bigger sets, rain and a little bit of sideshore winds for the first hours of the contest.  Check it out!

The morning gave us some nice waves, and we went throughout the last rounds of all the divisions.  Made a quick break hoping to have better waves for the finals and it was worth it.

8:07 PM

We had about 1hour and 25 minutes break, the rain stopped and the waves start to fill in with the tide.  A bunch of guys made it out to get some and JJ Kerson was one of the guys out there taking advantage during the break.
