Double eliminations 1
Straight after the youth finals we continued with the Pro Kids the U 15 category. The conditions were great and the wind was smoothly building up towards the rest of the day.
Rider of the day was Mattijs Lasore who made a strong comeback smashing all his opponents with a fluent routine of moves such as e-sliders, high flakas and flawless one handed spocks.
Yesterday’s second place finalist Kostya Smirnov puts a hold to Mattijs his smashing flow and just like yesterday he continues to battle it out with the Arubian Freestyler Steven Max who was more than ready for the battle which he eventually did win in the end.

After a small Break the Juniors the U 17 category was next in a bit more stronger winds.
Surprise of the day was when Matts Moyson got to kick out his buddy Mattijs Lasore in one of the first heats followed by Jonatan Yagen from Israel who beats Mr Mats and faces the Italian Nicolo Tagliafico, JY did the same thing as before and faces Riccardo Marca also from Italy who could not get his game together. Kostya the most focused and organized kid teaches Jonatan a lesson with a selection of powerful moves. The final was sailed between Steven Max and Kostya who missed a few of his tricks against the technical sailor from Aruba.
