Day 2 of the ISA World Stand Up Paddle Championships saw the women’s paddleboard race and the second round of heats of the SUP Surfing Competition in about 3-4ft swell. The waves increased in size throughout the day and the winds remained calm, which led to some high scores in both the Men’s and Women’s heats. Australian Jackson Close and Brazil’s Caio Vaz logged the highest heat totals of the event, 17.33 and 17.17, respectively. Congratulations to all who are still in and reached round 3!
“Today it’s really clean, the waves are coming, and if you get the right ones and don’t fall – that was most important for me – you were going to get a good score,” Vaz said. “Team Brazil has been really good, everybody is clapping, and altogether. Yesterday there were a lot of people, yelling ‘Yeah! Caio! Caio!” I was a little nervous. But today when everyone was yelling, I wasn’t hearing it, I was more focused.”
