The second event for the Corona Pro PR was in Rincon in Puerto Rico. The first was at middles in November and i got a great result there so i was definitely psyched to go back. I could only go for the weekend but i loved every second of being in the Caribbean. I was stoked to pull out my bikinis, its been a while.. The people in Puerto Rico are always so friendly and just seem happy to meet new people and help them out. Ive always felt kind of at home in Puerto Rico because it has a positive, laid back island vibe like Barbados. i can always paddle out and feel comfortable, where i soon meet all the locals and just surf all day unhassled.
The contest was at Domes which is a solid right point break. I drove down the first day and couldnt wait to get in the water it looked so fun. The first day of the contest was a little small but there were still plenty of waves to be had and i made it to the semi finals the next day. The Sunday was definitely bigger with solid chest to head high sets, i was towards the end of the day and it would be a man on man heat. The priority system has always made me a little nervous because when i do have priority i don’t want to give it up for a bad wave so its a little trickier and you have to be very careful and really commit if you paddle for a wave. Unfortunately i lost in the semis. I just had a bad rhythm and all the waves i thought would be great didn’t line up.
Ah, well. overall the short trip was awesome, I got some great waves in a beautiful Caribbean island, I’ll definitely be back for the next one.
