Round 1 Of The Santa Surf Pro Completed

 San Juan Lanzarote saw Round 1 action today with two foot waves for the ASP World Qualifying Series 6-Star Prime Santa Surf Pro.  But due to a decrease of wind, only seven heats completed.  Hopefully with the forecast predicting a new swell this Friday, competition and the beginning of the top seeds shall continue today if the conditions are suitable. 

The day’s first and best surfing went to Jean Da Silva of Brazil.  Jean has had disastrous  results this far into the tour with no significant results but was able to find his way out of the difficult conditions to end up winning the day scoring a 15.77 heat out of 20. 

“I paddled out and went for any wave I could catch knowing I could not afford to miss any better one,” Da Silva said. “I felt good and well prepared and I am really happy to get this one out of the way. I think I chose the good options to make it.”

Jean is not only looking to continue a strong event, but is also looking to finish the season strong as well.
