The Basque Alex Uranga, has entered the water in the first heat of the day, where he has led and qualified for the semifinals. “The waves today are bigger than yesterday, I’ve been in the first heat of the day and you enter nervous, but I’ve done very well, this is an epic stage. Lanzarote is a wonderful place to do all kinds of sports and enjoy a vacation.” He also added that “this event is very special, it is always done with the best conditions and if I could choose one event to highlight, it would be this one”.
In the final, Amaury Lavernhe was very selective and ended up making just two waves – 8.20 + 7.20 (15.90 pts). However, enough to win Quemao Class… for the fourth time in his career.
Willian Luján, from Gran Canaria, had the best wave of the heat, but ended up in third place, with a total of 13.90 points. Basque Alex Uranga was second with 14.23 points, while Frenchman Ethan Capdeville finished fourth with a score of 13.73. But It is important to mention that Ethan and Moz were among the best in the competition and achieved high scores through all rounds and also several waves on the excellence range.
“I can’t believe it, we always look forward to this event because we know that when it works out we are going to have exceptional waves. Every year there are new people, like William Lujan or Ethan Capdeville, and not so new like Alex Uranga, who know the wave well and pose a challenge. The conditions have been incredible, we are with mother nature for this event, and we are very privileged to have been invited”, said the winner of the 8th edition.
See ya all next year!
