Gisteren was dag 1 van de Elite League; ofwel het echte event direct voor de punten op de WKL ladder. Er zijn gisteren 2 heats gevaren + een stukje van heat 3. Daarna liet de wind het afweten.
Dutchies wise: Youri Zoon door naar de derder ronde. Hij werd tweede achter Cruz in de tweede en laatste heat van de dag.
Check hieronder hoe de twee heats zijn verlopen:
Heat 1 saw Spanish former World Champion Alex Pastor get off to an uncharacteristically slow start, with several crashes before he finally managed to land several high scoring tricks including a stylish KGB 5. This put him up to second place, opening the door directly to Round 3. Set Teixeira from Brazil was on fire right from the start, opening up with an impressive Backside 317 that scored him 8.17 points, and placed him first in this heat.
It was Youri Zoon from the Netherlands who dominated the start of Heat 2, delighted to be competing in his homeland and feeling the support from his fans on the beach. He rode a great heat and landed a 317 scoring him 8.03 points, placing him in second position. Luis Alberto Cruz from the Dominican Republic was on a mission to succeed, and stomped 5 high scoring tricks including a 317 and BS315, an impressive array of tricks that placed him just above Youri Zoon.
