As the wind line finally reached the shore at Valdevaqueros, the Kite-Surf World Tour strapless freestyle riders put on a late afternoon show on Thursday at the Jeep Tarifa Pro. Although the winds were light at around 15 – 18 knots and dropped for the last couple of rounds, the competition has reached the last 16, so riders can already take points away. There are however still three days to go and the Tarifan crowd are keen for more action as this is the original home of strapless freestyle competition!
“It was a 7-day trip. Skaters were Donovon Piscopo, John Fitzgerald, Caleb Barnett and Diego Todd. We met in Ventura, skated some spots there, made a quick stop in Santa Maria before heading to Santa Cruz. Hit heavy rains in Santa Cruz so we bounced straight to Sac. Skated there for a couple of days and then went to SF. Had a couple good days in SF and on the way back tried to hit Santa Cruz, but pretty much got rained out there again. Skated Derby in the drizzle for a little bit then headed home.” – Ben Colen
Before the bowl got torn out at Vans HB Park, Darren Navarrette, Peter Hewitt, Omar Hassan, Lance Mountain, and Eric Dressen got some licks before the dozer showed up.
