After two days of good wing action ( HERE you can read the report from the previous day), the wind took a creative break on the third day of the event. However, the waves got going, which is why a tow-in contest was started without further ado, for which 18 participants were registered. The pros were pulled onto the clean waves on jet skis and then performed long rides, turns, airs and, of course, a few crashes.
The most ripped performance on the water today came from a teenager from the French town of Pornichet - Malo Guénolé. Fluid rides, smooth turns and a backflip into the breaking section of the wave at the end - the judges had virtually no choice but to declare Guénolé the winner.
Now it's time to keep our fingers crossed that the wind returns on the last day of the event and the World Championship decisions can be made at the GWA Tarifa Wing Pro.
Here's the clip from the third day with some tow-in action.
