Now that Tropical storm Franklin has made it's way toward Bermuda, the wave size has decreased. Currently we turn our focus to the African coast for upcoming storms...
On Sunday Rodrigo Miranda and Jimmy Blumenfeld, our mission surfers, both made it through their amateur heats. Rodrigo got put out in his second heat, but Jimmy made it through to the quarter-finals of the pro division. Today Rodrigo made it through one heat in the amateurs before getting put out in the semi-finals for a 5th place finish. Jimmy ended up getting 3rd in his quarter-final in the pros to win $300 cash and an equal 9th placing, and got 2nd in the amateurs, winning a brand new board bag, Dragon sunglasses, a DaKine backpack, and a $200 gift certificate for Reef. The waves were in the waist to chest high range with semi-choppy surface conditions. A full moon morning high tide made for mushy shorepound before the waves started breaking more outside on the lower tide.
Until the next storm...
