Hi everybody, it's Lucha Libre from out here at Las Penitas with the second day of the contest.  Today we have the semifinals and finals in the 4 different categories (Open, Junior, International and woman).  The surfing conditionsare not that good out here but anyway all the nica surfers wanted to give it a try.  It's even hard to tell how big it is exactly because the "wave" is moving all over the place like a huge milkshake.  The wind was doing its thing too turning from offshore to sideshore and onshore all day long.  Check it out.
