Te truth is that there were very little waves and quite short ones too. Normally organizers know when to celebrate the competition according to swells and waves, but this time, as all forecasting in the Canaries, everything went wrong because it is very difficult to tell.<\/p>\n<p>The Men&#8217;s final was between Ruben Vitoria and Jorgann Couzinet. Ruben ended up the heat with an amazing 19.10 in a very disputed final in which both contenders gave everything.<\/p>\n<p>Women&#8217;s final confronted European Champion Pauline Ado and Australian Mikaela Greene, undisputable best surfers of the tournament. They had to see each other in the final. And what a fight. This is what the winnner said:\u00a0&#8220;I have a lot of respect for Pauline as an athlete so I knew I had a tough heat ahead of me and <strong>I had to bring my A-Game<\/strong>,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I&#8217;m really happy I was able to find a few waves and stoked the waves stuck around for the finals. I have a couple of big events at home coming up so I&#8217;ll definitely take some confidence out of this win and try to carry it into the next few events.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you want to learn to surf, take a look at our website and come to Tenerife to be the best champion.
