Billabong surf games peru

After so much effort and so much work it feels incredible. My dream has been made a reality. What I feel inside me, this happiness goes beyond explanation. Senoritas and Caballeros have given us incredible waves, and the best surfers of the world came to enjoy them. This is what we want to bring to the world and I hope that it can be spread and promoted.

Surfing is a great Peruvian sport. Finally, I want to congratulate all the countries that attended. In the end there are so many surfers and so few medals. Thirty one countries, surfers, heats surfed and thousands of waves ridden. Tahiti has a World Champion they can rally behind, South Africa is once again on the rise, and yes, the Peruvians, have demonstrated they are worthy opponents on this most global of stages.

Yawn- wake me up when the best athletes enter the event. The whole event seemed rather shaky- from the webcast, locale and judging- even the press releases were way over the top. Tahiti has a World Champion they can rally behind, South Africa is once again on the rise, and yes, the Peruvians, have demonstrated they are worthy opponents on this most global of stages. Forty-five hundred years after first riding waves in reed boats and 45 years after the World Contest was held in Peru, surfers from this proud nation took back a small but precious piece of their gold — as Team Gold Medalists in the Billabong ISA World Surfing Games Presented by Amarok of Volkswagen.
