The heat started slowly with a long low, but as soon as the first set came, Maira Viana took the lead with a committed through the lip El Rollo and got a high score. Ferrari answered back with a couple of big El Rollos, but fell short to take 2nd place giving Maira the chance to move to the next round.

The other standout was the local Sol Fernandez defeating Keila Grodzen from USA. Lumar Guitard defeated Jade Robles from Hawaii and Venezuela’s Ruth Parra defeated Roxel Perez from Mexico in the last seconds of their heat.

The DK division had some action as well. The best wave of the day was for fellow Venezuelan bodyboarder David Velasquez taking of late and getting deep in a Puerto barrel and coming out to take one of the highest scores of the day. The second round was about to start, but the wind and the tide changed and the head judge, Chico Garritano decided to stop the comp until 4pm, waiting for the evening offshore Puerto gets some times during this time of the year.
