Compet surf
This weekend we went to meet the competition well known surfers in the world: the Rip Curl Pro!
The championship is organized around a dozen events around the world, including, among others: Brazil, France (yes), and of course Hawaii and Australia.
We're on site for Australian events taking place not far from Melbourne, next to the cult (not me) wave of Bells, and his little sister Winkipop! The small village near Torquay and called it a mecca for surfers because the head offices of all major brands of surf here (as Rip Curl, Quiksilver ....).
For the occasion, we rent a car with a couple of roommates and roll youth to the beautiful waves of Bells.
There, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the place was free. Obviously
waves being not really big that day, only juniors and girls will compete.
Okay I know that Kelly Slater pro surfer, but I'm still a little disappointed not to see all these cute guys in action.
The goal of the game in a competition is to get the maximum points, but how can you tell me?
Here is the question, and thanks to stonewalling My dear roommate room, I could deduct qques basic rules:
- Four surfers per set
compet - 30 minutes, even if there are no waves at this time (hard drive)
- No location for the competitors, each manages and defends its territory to be the first to leave
- Whoever takes the most risks gets the most points (up to 10)
- Risk Taking notable hit closest to the foam, go into the wave (tube) or surf on top of the wave (float)
Well I know is really the basis of the base, but my instructor quickly loses patience in terms of explanations. The compet
'stopped along the waves (which were previously not well big) and we continued our little journey to the "Great Ocean Road" by car.
