2016 QUEMAO CLASS

2016 QUEMAO CLASS

The QUEMAO CLASS is an invitation event of 32 surfers and 32 bodyboarders selected from all over the world for their qualities in reef waves. It happens in Lanzarote island (Canarias) taking place in La Santa on the famous spot El Quemao in early January 2016. On this event both surfers and bodyboarders compete on the same wave, on the same contest with two draws: one for surf and the other for boogie. I am happy and proud to win this 2016 Quemao Class edition : all the riders are so dedicated and the level is really impressive !

2015 – FRONTON KING – A big wave and a crown

October 2015 – Galdar, Gran Canaria

A BIG COMP ON A WORLD CLASS WAVE

I am so honored to be the King in my training field.
El Fronton is among my every day waves, with el Agujero and la Guancha, in Galdar. I live here as it is my training residence.
It is a mythical wave with incredible local riders. They are brave, talented and proud of their waves. Thanks to you amigos for sharing your wave with me and accepting me in your community.
Then, I share this victory with all the riders who showed their level to all the international audience on the live webcasting

This event is classified as a 2015 APB Tour Special event. Therefore the Fronton King is on the way to go back in the World Tour legs. So I do hope it will be OK for next year !
A big Bravo to the organisation and to the Galdar headtown and Canary Government for supporting this event which soon will be a Gran Slam in the World Tour od bodyboard.

2015 – PUERTO RICO – A big suspense for the world title

October 2015, Puerto-Rico

Crazy Encanto Pro 2015

The 2015 World Champion title is decided in Puerto Rico !
This spot is such a nice place, situated in a tropical paradise with a good bodyboarding community. This APB contest, the Encanto Pro Cultura takes place in Isabela.
It is an amazing professional event with big promos, meetings in schools and exposure for the sport. That is exactly what bodyboarding needs today !
A big bravo to the local organizers, particularly to Natasha, Jared Houston’s wife who made a big job too.
Before the contest, me and my family stay at Jony’s – Jonathan Perez. He is the official dealer of SNIPER in Puerto Rico (perezdelcarril@gmail.com).

Focused on the target

I spend the first week really focused for the contest, training everyday and trying to have the healthiest routine possible. I am actually really exited to compete for a new title.
It is a new goal in my career and a great battle between Jared, PLC and myself. But the competition offers Jared a big suspense as is out in the 1/16 final. He watches the final day of the comp from the beach with anxiety. PLC and me are the only ones able to steal the world title to him. I have to win my 1/8 final heat against Jacob Romero to get the title… With a big pression, I lead my heat until 3 minutes before the end, then Jacob scores a good wave and I answer him 30 seconds before the bells ring, unsuccessfully. I am out and the title won’t be for me. PLC has now the advantage. He fights until the final for his chance, but Jeff Hubbard wins the contest, making PLC unable to get the Wold Title. Jared leaps with joy on the sand and we rejoice with him.

After a big deception for being so closed to the victory, I sincerely enjoy Jared winning his first world title.
Anyway, he wins in the island where he is living now, with his wife and his daughter. He deserves this title and we celebrate it all together. It is fabulous and it inspires me a lot.

My 2015 APB Award

By the way, I have the honour to receive the 2015 SPORTSMAN OF THE YEAR APB award from Alex Leon, the APB CEO. This trophy rewards me for my sporting commitment and my competitive spirit

Thanks to and Alex Diaz and Jony Perez for the pics.

2015 NAZARE PRO

So good memories after this crazy contest! Above all on the final day. I have not competed in such conditions for a long time and it is actually awesome to change the rules for few heats, making it faster and stronger in terms of physical effort! The presence and support of my wife Malennhy and our son Oliver is a precious vitamin for my reaching the final.
So excited for this World title race, something healthy and something that stays for ever in the history of our sport! I am more than ever engaged in the World title race with Jared Houston and Pierre-Louis Costes. It is my adrenaline for the end of the 2015 APB Tour.

2015 – ARICA – Videos and highlights

August 2015, Chile

Videos for great memories

In the video produced by Boca Negra, we can celebrate my 10th year in Arica. It is a tribute to El Floppos, one of the best wave for bodyboarding in the world.
This spot is definitely a waves machine and a bombs raiser.

The 2015 Arica Chilean Challenge edition has been completely crazy with big scores for many competitors.
I was feeling focused, very motivated and the level of the waves and riders whet my appetite for fighting and ripping.
A big tribute to Jared Houston for this red-letter final who showed to anyone that even when everything seems to be lost, you must never give up.

Hope that through these videos you will see what bodyboarding really is : strong riding, big focus and real friendship.

So long Arica. I already miss you. See you again and again.

Thanks to BOCA NEGRA for editing the video.
Thanks to Igor Sanchez, Jessica Becker and Nicolas Diaz for filming.

2015 – ARICA – A big competition in high conditions

August 2015 , Chile

An incredible final

Once again, for the 2015 edition, El Floppos has kept up with his reputation.
This spot is definitely a waves machine and a bombs raiser…
This comp has been completely crazy with high big scores for many of the competitors. I was feeling focused, very motivated and the level of the waves and riders whet my appetite for fighting and ripping. A big tribute to Jared Houston for this red-letter final who showed to anyone that even when everything seems to be lost, you must never give up.

On the final, with Jared Houston, the waves are a big smaller and I know that I have to score some waves early in the heat. In the first five minutes, I get 18 points (9,25 – 8,75 pts). Jared has 25 minutes to overpass my score. Late in the heat, his inverts scoting 9,5 pts allows Jared to get 18 pts too. So what? In a final suspenseful exchange with 20 seconds remaining on the clock, we both take off on a split peak. This last effort is no avail. We are ex-aequo when the bell rings. The rule is simple: Jared wins on a tiebreaker with his higher score. 9,5pts.
Congrats buddy, you did an amazing contest !

Thanks to all the people involved in the organisation of this Chilean contest, by far the most consistent wave on tour.

Ten years already that I am coming in Arica and I cant wait to come back to surf Gringo again !
Hope that through these pics you will see what bodyboarding really is : strong riding, big focus and real friendship.
So long Arica, see you again and again.

June 2015, Brazil

The first step, a good victory

First step of the 2015 APB Tour, the Itacoatiara Pro is an incredible contest. I am the 2014 World Champion and I have to defend my title.
With big conditions for freesurf and competition.
The drones filming the action make a revolution in video and allow to understand how strong is the swell and how fluid are our manoeuvres.
Thanks to Canal Whohoo for the interview about my competitor life.
Obrigado Brazil !
Enjoy while watching these super videos.

2015 BRAZIL- My victory at Itacoatiara Pro

Another victory, another incredible moment

Some days before leaving to Rio, I come back from Indonesia with my family and we spend nice days in Europe. A long flight Denpasar-Amsterdam-Paris-Bordeaux. One night in France then just one day fo rest. Then on Saturday, Magdalena and I both fly to Lisboa (Portugal) for PLC’s wedding day. Our plane is late and a huge traffic jam from the airport to the beach could make us miss the event. Fortunately, we arrive at the ceremony just five minutes before the bride … and we spend a fantastic sleepless night with our friends. Back to Bordeaux on Sunday, we really need to sleep and to rest a little bit to forget the jetlag from Bali. As soon as we recover, it is time to leave to Rio for the 1st step of the 2015 APB Tour.

After my first victory in 2013 and my 3rd place in 2014, I celebrate this event with all my supporters. The beach break at Nitoroi closed to the sleeping elephant rock is in good shape for the 2015 contest. Happy to be there with my family, Magdalena and Oliver and enjoying all the good vibes around for bodyboarding. During the comp, we live in a nice house, next to the beach, easy to cook, train, enjoy the family life before and during the contest.

This contest is really physical, tactical and as it is a beachbreak, the waves change at any moment so you have to be aware and always watch the ocean.
Brazil is a big nation of bodyboarders with strong passionate riders and big champions as Luis Villar, Paulo Barcelos, Guillerme Tamega or Uri Valadao than inspire me.
And it is a place where training and fitness are a real way of life. Thanks for the warm welcome and support. I will be back soon. Obrigado !
