The Pitaya’s Quicksilver Surf contest was on the whole day at Playa Hermosa and everything turned out pretty well.  Lots of people showed out to the beach and everybody had a good time.  The waves were pretty fun, running about chest to head high on sets, the winds were a little strong offshore and the water was cold.  Check it out!!!

48 competitors were battling in the open category, trying to win the first place.  Since the first heat Rex was showing us his level and was doing his own show.  Sweet floater shot to start the action in the first heat.

Many of the best surfers in the country got to meet in this event, so we had a nice show.  This is Raul from Venezuela with an amazing maneuver in front of the rocks.

La Gaviota Chamorro started the day winning every single heat he was in, and he succesfully made it to the finals.  Here he is caught with a cool spray on this little nugget.

The beach was pretty busy and everybody had a blast.  Check out this crew of girls enjoying the beautiful day, dancing on the beach and enjoying a good vodka.  Do you guys need a bigger bottle?

Cute girls, fun waves, good food and drinks everywhere.  What else can we ask for?

I guess the food was really good.  Wasn't it Chelito?  Or maybe I have to ask Dunia!  Bonna Petit friends.

Dunia ate pretty well so she had enough power to destroy the waves and win the final.  Here she is caught bottom turning a nice sized right hander.

It wasn't easy for me to be in the water with the water housing becasue there was lots of currents and the water was cold.  Anyway, I got to snap a couple of cool shots.  This is Mojo-jojo Jackson about to throw the lip off the back.

There is no way to beat this guy, when he is busting 360's airs all over the place.  Rex with his signature move, the move that gave him the first place at this event.
