On the first day of the competition i was just training enjoying the spot with the early morning wind, with a cross on shore direction.In the afternoon i noticed the wind drops off and turns direction to on shore, make it difficult in the afternoon.
The second day they held the windsurf and stand up paddle it was great to see all the sports coming together we even did the downwinder race all together.
The third and final day was my day of competition.We had to be there early so we were up at 5.00am. Ready and out the house, driving there in to the next town when the car stops working and it would not start again.David got the bus home to get the buggy. Then we towed the car with the buggy back to the house.After a slow drive with alot of team work we arrived home safely.We put the Cabrinha Gear on the buggy and raced to the city of Fortaleza then to the competition. To arrive late but just in time to pump and compete. The wind was light so my trainer David had the pink 12 meter switchblade and Skillit 5.0 surfboard ready for me. I used my straps on the board as the other girl were using them. i will go with out the strap in the next competition and up my level as im able to do better carves with out straps.I had a very happy result with a first place on my first competition with Cabrinha sponsorship.The celebratory drink was a Red Bull that gives you wings.I made so good friends.
