Cabo 2014 // Day Four // barrels

on May 17, 2014

This morning was the morning of the pros. With the preliminary heats out of the way, the pros took center stage on the second day for the 2014 Cabo Classico. The heats that went down today were just a taste of what we are poised to witness on the final day. With every heat, the competitors were pushing each other to see who would pull into the biggest barrel, or who was going to punt the largest air back on to the dry sand.

Teddy Vlasis pulled into one of the bigger barrels of the morning

while Morgan Just was throwing tech, clinching his heat with a solid wave ten seconds before the horn rang for the end of the heat. Johnny Salta planed way out on his opening wave, wrapping and sole arching all the way to the sand. Johnny has been killing it down here, and a lot of chatter is calling him as the dark horse of the contest.

As always Paddy Mack was skimming with insane power, wrapping his way into round 3.

The afternoons have seen some intense onshore winds, so at this point we are on hold until 5:30 waiting for the contest directors to make a call if we will run or not. In the mean time we are going to relax at the pool and probably dip into the shore break for an all time group body womp session.
