Just won the doubles too a couple of hours ago, stooooked!!

I lost my first heat against Kevin in a 2-1 decision, so we had to re-run it. I just went for it with all my energy, starting with a front mobe 2 blind, then KGB switch, blind Judge5, KGB 2 blind, switch and regular back mobe and slim, kgb…. Went to the beach and heard the result.

I’m really happy, this is the first PKRA I win, hope not the last one, haha. Time to celebrate!!  Read more ...

Hi everybody! Yesterday we disputed the double elimination of freestyle, and finally I could keep the first position. The pain in my knee was not so strong, but I went to the doctor again for infiltrate a painkiller. It is incredible, when they injected to me, after 15 minutes I had no pain and I could compete with a lot of motivation and confidence. I tried to ride the best as possible and to give the greatest show, but with a little caution. In the final I faced Kristin Boese again. The conditions were one of my favorites, although the sea was very choppy, near the beach was quite flat with a perfect kicker, similar to Tarifa. I competed with the Airush Generator 7.5m, my favorite kite and made 4 handle passes in the heat; blind judge, front mobe, slim chance and 313. At the last minute I tried the back mobe but I didn’t land it. These final wasn’t the best I’ve ever done, but I am happy because I rode quite powerful. Read more ...

KPWT Sylt Germany - Single Elimination

Hi everyone, Today I faced a challenge and obstacle I have never experienced before. We had the single elimination of Freestyle at the World Cup in Sylt (Germany). During my warm-up before the heat I had an accidente. When landing a trick I hurt my knee. I really thought I would not be able to compete as it was really painful. I put ice for a long time and anti-inflamatory cream, but this didn’t make it better so I went to the doctor. They did an X-ray which showed the bones were OK, the pain was due to the tearing of the interior meniscus. The doctor asked me if I wanted to compete and I said ‘of course, doctor!’, so they stuck two injections of anti-inflamatory and pain killers which was rather painful. I had to really be careful when competing because my knee was hurting so much. I won all my heats with very technical tricks but avoided power landings; I was really scared of the pain landing. I progressed to the final where I met Kristin Boeses, the local German rider. In the final I had to push myself to my limit to win against Boese. I successfully landed 5 different kind of handle-passes that led me to my victory in this single elimination. Read more ...

Hi guys! I have finished the high school, finally holidays! This last week has been very hard, with all the final exams, but I’m happy because I did it well. Yesterday I travelled to Germany, to compete in the KPWT in Sylt. We left from the airport in Malaga, with the huge board bags, and with the riders Ainhoa Garcia and Rafa Aguado. When we arrived to Hamburg, we met Kirstin Jones, rider of the North, and we went together to Sylt by car. You know what…….? It’s impossible to get to Sylt by car, so we had to go through a ferry, which in this case is a train!! When we arrived, I couldn’t believe it, so long and tired trip! Today we had the inscriptions of the riders, and I have met many friends as Jan Marco, Mitu Monteiro, Kristin Boesse and many more. What memories! I’m going to sleep now because tomorrow the riders meeting is at 8.30 am I and must compete. Cheers! Read more ...
