Fourth edition of a championship that every year improveing and getting recognition. International Trafalgar has already become a classic Spanish and European contest, and biggest proof of this is the number of participants from different zones of Spain and other countries. We want to congrat, as always, to the organization that makes it an exemplary event, good for spanish skimboarding next generations.
This 2019 has been a year full of success for us thanks to all members of our team, who compete at the highest level getting pretty all finals, podiums and wins.
At Trafalgar International, one of our fetish championships, our guys shone again with their own light. Six of the top seven are Dogflut TEAM riders and the other one of those seven skimmers is a good friend who competes with a Dogflut board too. We can’t ask for more! Top 3, as in 2018 and in 2017, was again skimmers of our team.
We can’t ask for more… Or maybe we can! Because in addition to the epic result in Open division, Ale ‘Burbuja’ Montañés won U-16 (with 13 years), ‘Xoxe’ Conde was runner-up in girls female división and Adrián Clavijo was first in masters!
About Open category, Juanlu González continued his dominance, getting his fourth consecutive win. This time it was not easier, he need to snatch the title from Ricardo Dias hands, teammate and friend, in the last wave of the final. It could not be a more epic closure, perfect finale in Trafalgar liners with sun hiding behind the horizon.
Both advanced to the final leaving out Simao Pinto and Martí Avilès in the first semifinal, in the repetition of 2018 final. And it happened because Jesule ‘González had one of those days when he shines as a reflection of light in a mirror and made a awesome quarters round and also in semifinals to finish third. Ale was close to enlarging his legend, but as in the Ocean Spirit, he had to “settle” with a spectacular seventh place for a kid.
In short, we have a real luxury team / family. Thank you all!
