1
00:00:03,003 --> 00:00:05,547
Good morning
from Ericeira, Portugal.
2
00:00:05,548 --> 00:00:07,132
The Challenger Series, back.
3
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:11,428
New order of business is trying to
qualify for the 2025 Championship Tour.
4
00:00:11,429 --> 00:00:13,931
{\an8}It's the EDP Ericeira Pro.
5
00:00:17,351 --> 00:00:19,269
I'm happy that I had
a great first round,
6
00:00:19,270 --> 00:00:21,814
and that my family is here
to help me with my nerves.
7
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:26,943
{\an8}Right now, I'm
sitting in 10th place,
8
00:00:26,944 --> 00:00:28,486
and I need to do really
well in this heat
9
00:00:28,487 --> 00:00:31,072
because if I don't win
this season in top ten,
10
00:00:31,073 --> 00:00:33,992
I won't even qualify for the
Challenger Series next year.
11
00:00:33,993 --> 00:00:35,553
And I'll have to
start from the bottom.
12
00:00:39,290 --> 00:00:44,377
So excited to get an opportunity
to surf against Sophia and Ēwe.
13
00:00:44,378 --> 00:00:46,963
And we're good friends,
but competing is competing.
14
00:00:46,964 --> 00:00:50,842
It was nice to be home
for one month to recharge.
15
00:00:50,843 --> 00:00:52,969
My main goal is,
live in the moment,
16
00:00:52,970 --> 00:00:55,889
but I am hoping for a win.
17
00:00:55,890 --> 00:00:57,390
Pray for me.
18
00:01:09,862 --> 00:01:11,613
{\an8}It's pretty
clean with a bit of wind.
19
00:01:11,614 --> 00:01:14,241
{\an8}There's loads of
point-scoring opportunity.
20
00:01:15,743 --> 00:01:17,285
Wearing
the red singlet,
21
00:01:17,286 --> 00:01:18,912
representing La France,
22
00:01:18,913 --> 00:01:20,371
it's Vahine Fierro.
23
00:01:20,372 --> 00:01:23,124
As we see the
first wave of the year of Vahine.
24
00:01:23,125 --> 00:01:24,584
Fierro, bang!
25
00:01:24,585 --> 00:01:26,712
{\an8}That's a great turnout.
Backhand's a weapon.
26
00:01:27,463 --> 00:01:30,965
{\an8}Meanwhile, picking her out
in the back lit conditions,
27
00:01:30,966 --> 00:01:32,967
{\an8}it's the South American.
28
00:01:32,968 --> 00:01:33,969
Aguirre.
29
00:01:35,054 --> 00:01:37,056
And she's carving
up a storm here.
30
00:01:38,474 --> 00:01:39,474
So straight into this.
31
00:01:39,475 --> 00:01:41,935
She waited a while in the
heat earlier. This time...
32
00:01:41,936 --> 00:01:44,395
Wow, that's really dynamic.
33
00:01:44,396 --> 00:01:46,022
Bold finish.
34
00:01:46,023 --> 00:01:47,732
Decent stuff. Second place.
35
00:01:47,733 --> 00:01:49,819
That wave
was really well surfed.
36
00:01:50,861 --> 00:01:54,365
{\an8}It's Wong on a wave as well.
37
00:02:02,289 --> 00:02:04,916
I think Ēwe was feeling a
little nervous for this heat.
38
00:02:04,917 --> 00:02:07,377
The waves are a lot bigger
than they were yesterday.
39
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:08,962
I know she can handle it.
40
00:02:08,963 --> 00:02:10,797
Yeah, they're
definitely tough conditions.
41
00:02:10,798 --> 00:02:12,383
Yeah.
42
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:15,718
Um, longer wave.
43
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:17,429
A lot of surf done.
44
00:02:21,892 --> 00:02:22,809
Damn.
45
00:02:22,810 --> 00:02:24,143
Almost.
46
00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:25,187
That's okay.
47
00:02:28,274 --> 00:02:30,483
All right,
here goes the Peruvian.
48
00:02:30,484 --> 00:02:31,652
Aguirre.
49
00:02:32,862 --> 00:02:34,487
And mid-face, really,
with that hook,
50
00:02:34,488 --> 00:02:36,197
decides not to go all
the way on that lip.
51
00:02:36,198 --> 00:02:37,824
That's because the
wave is softer there.
52
00:02:37,825 --> 00:02:40,201
She doesn't have to get left
high. And now on the face.
53
00:02:40,202 --> 00:02:41,369
Now it's steeper.
54
00:02:41,370 --> 00:02:43,538
She opens up with a snap.
55
00:02:43,539 --> 00:02:46,583
Kind of pushes that tail out,
uses the full height of the wave.
56
00:02:46,584 --> 00:02:47,959
That was really nice.
57
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,586
She lays that one back.
58
00:02:49,587 --> 00:02:51,671
She's showing something
a little different there.
59
00:02:51,672 --> 00:02:55,300
So each turn, she sort of felt her
way into that and gave it a bit more.
60
00:02:55,301 --> 00:02:57,969
Yeah, numbers just in: 6
for that. Her second wave.
61
00:02:57,970 --> 00:02:59,430
Decent stuff. Second place.
62
00:03:02,057 --> 00:03:03,850
{\an8}Sophia there.
63
00:03:03,851 --> 00:03:05,476
{\an8}And swinging.
64
00:03:05,477 --> 00:03:07,146
{\an8}This is Medina.
65
00:03:10,816 --> 00:03:12,025
Working this one down
66
00:03:12,026 --> 00:03:13,860
towards an inside section.
67
00:03:13,861 --> 00:03:15,028
It's a heavy section.
68
00:03:15,029 --> 00:03:17,405
We've seen people go
down in this heat.
69
00:03:17,406 --> 00:03:19,324
Trying not to overcook it there,
70
00:03:19,325 --> 00:03:20,658
but it looks like
Medina will hang on.
71
00:03:20,659 --> 00:03:25,371
Just pressure moments
for our surfers in third and fourth.
72
00:03:25,372 --> 00:03:28,082
Yeah, it's all about
finding the right wave, isn't it?
73
00:03:28,083 --> 00:03:29,834
The Hawaiian, Ēwe Wong.
74
00:03:29,835 --> 00:03:31,462
Final 30 seconds here.
75
00:03:35,382 --> 00:03:36,799
A smooth style.
76
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,510
She's looking for a 7.5.
77
00:03:41,597 --> 00:03:42,764
It's a snap.
78
00:03:42,765 --> 00:03:44,599
And through to an inside
as she got finish.
79
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,645
I'm not sure she does that
wave, which has kind of run out.
80
00:03:50,940 --> 00:03:54,150
She's just not
really had quality sections,
81
00:03:54,151 --> 00:03:56,152
apart from that maybe
that very early fall
82
00:03:56,153 --> 00:03:57,403
that offered her something.
83
00:03:57,404 --> 00:03:59,656
Since then, it's been
tough for everyone, really.
84
00:04:01,992 --> 00:04:03,118
Freakin' sucks.
85
00:04:11,543 --> 00:04:14,003
{\an8}So Vahine is
safe into the next round.
86
00:04:14,004 --> 00:04:17,633
{\an8}And joining her will be
Sol Aguirre from Peru.
87
00:04:18,092 --> 00:04:21,177
Unfortunately for
Wong and Medina,
88
00:04:21,178 --> 00:04:23,931
they end up losing this event.
89
00:04:25,057 --> 00:04:27,016
At first, I was feeling lost.
90
00:04:27,017 --> 00:04:29,394
I didn't know where I was.
91
00:04:38,153 --> 00:04:39,988
{\an8}Oh, that
was really bad.
92
00:04:39,989 --> 00:04:42,615
I just hope I didn't
ruin all my chances
93
00:04:42,616 --> 00:04:45,494
to be on top ten
after that heat.
94
00:04:54,545 --> 00:04:56,546
Sol
finishing in second place.
95
00:05:02,177 --> 00:05:03,345
{\an8}Oh, my gosh.
96
00:05:05,305 --> 00:05:06,431
{\an8}See?
97
00:05:06,432 --> 00:05:08,392
{\an8}Just living the moment works.
98
00:05:09,977 --> 00:05:13,354
Going home to reset between
these two events really paid off.
99
00:05:13,355 --> 00:05:15,648
I feel so much more
connected to my surfing.
100
00:05:15,649 --> 00:05:18,151
If you start well, you end well.
101
00:05:18,152 --> 00:05:22,155
But I'm not gonna get to relax
because Portugal is not over yet
102
00:05:22,156 --> 00:05:24,575
and I need to bring
it on the next heat.
103
00:05:25,451 --> 00:05:26,910
I can't stop smiling.
104
00:05:37,796 --> 00:05:40,716
{\an8}We are in Sintra today.
105
00:05:41,216 --> 00:05:45,304
{\an8}Um, I went last year, but I
haven't been back yet this year.
106
00:05:47,890 --> 00:05:50,600
I'm pretty bummed I didn't
make it further in Portugal.
107
00:05:50,601 --> 00:05:52,101
I lost second heat.
108
00:05:52,102 --> 00:05:53,644
It was a pretty tough loss,
109
00:05:53,645 --> 00:05:57,732
but at least now I can enjoy my time
touring Portugal with Mom and Tutu.
110
00:06:03,572 --> 00:06:04,822
Where are we?
111
00:06:04,823 --> 00:06:06,365
The Moorish Palace.
112
00:06:06,366 --> 00:06:08,076
-What kind of palace?
-Moorish.
113
00:06:08,077 --> 00:06:10,244
"Moorsh?" The Moorish?
114
00:06:10,245 --> 00:06:12,288
The "Moorsh" Palace? Come on.
115
00:06:12,289 --> 00:06:15,875
Castle of the Moors.
The Moorish Palace.
116
00:06:15,876 --> 00:06:17,377
Okay, okay.
117
00:06:30,015 --> 00:06:33,059
Before I was on the Challenger
Series, I barely left Hawaii.
118
00:06:33,060 --> 00:06:36,187
So now it's cool to travel
and see the rest of the world.
119
00:06:36,188 --> 00:06:37,730
Dinner.
120
00:06:37,731 --> 00:06:39,233
Shrimp linguine.
121
00:06:40,692 --> 00:06:42,527
And a glass of red wine.
122
00:06:42,528 --> 00:06:44,445
That's... Can't not have that.
123
00:06:44,446 --> 00:06:47,866
Taking this time to relax
right now is a really good way to reset.
124
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:51,994
There's one more comp coming up, and
I'm hoping to end this year strong.
125
00:06:51,995 --> 00:06:53,287
Ten out of ten.
126
00:07:12,057 --> 00:07:13,641
{\an8}-For you.
-Oh, my God.
127
00:07:13,642 --> 00:07:15,101
{\an8}Thank you so much.
128
00:07:15,102 --> 00:07:17,104
That's so stunning. Thank you.
129
00:07:18,730 --> 00:07:20,816
So you travel most
of the year alone.
130
00:07:21,525 --> 00:07:22,567
Yeah.
131
00:07:22,568 --> 00:07:26,363
So my dad was supposed to come with
me to all the events this year,
132
00:07:27,156 --> 00:07:30,324
but then I didn't get any results,
so we've run out of budget.
133
00:07:30,325 --> 00:07:34,412
Even though I didn't, like, get results,
it was so good to have him on tour
134
00:07:34,413 --> 00:07:36,372
because he coaches me,
like, he's my coach.
135
00:07:36,373 --> 00:07:39,625
So technical coaching, I
tap into other people for.
136
00:07:39,626 --> 00:07:41,210
Do you get along with him?
137
00:07:41,211 --> 00:07:44,630
Yes. Yes, we're so close.
We're a very close family.
138
00:07:44,631 --> 00:07:48,467
When I was younger, he naturally became
my coach because he knew me so well.
139
00:07:48,468 --> 00:07:53,432
I can't imagine working with someone
else who doesn't quite understand me.
140
00:07:54,057 --> 00:07:57,393
This year, I'm learning a lot
about getting over my nerves
141
00:07:57,394 --> 00:07:59,312
to surf smart and confidently,
142
00:07:59,313 --> 00:08:01,105
because I need to
be making heats
143
00:08:01,106 --> 00:08:03,441
if I want to qualify for
the Championship Tour
144
00:08:03,442 --> 00:08:04,943
and have my family with me.
145
00:08:06,695 --> 00:08:09,031
Yeah, it's hard
to travel with your dad.
146
00:08:09,907 --> 00:08:12,116
I mean, the budget part, like...
147
00:08:12,117 --> 00:08:14,702
I wanted him to come
here in Portugal,
148
00:08:14,703 --> 00:08:16,662
but it was too expensive.
149
00:08:16,663 --> 00:08:19,498
But I'm excited because
he's going to Brazil.
150
00:08:19,499 --> 00:08:22,877
Does your dad coach you, or have you got
a different coach that you work with?
151
00:08:22,878 --> 00:08:26,172
He has been coaching me
for, like, since baby days
152
00:08:26,173 --> 00:08:28,341
till I was like 18.
153
00:08:28,342 --> 00:08:32,012
But then I realized, like,
I needed to travel alone
154
00:08:32,804 --> 00:08:35,806
because I needed
to be independent
155
00:08:35,807 --> 00:08:38,809
and, like, push myself, develop.
156
00:08:38,810 --> 00:08:42,313
It was a little hard, but that
year that I started traveling,
157
00:08:42,314 --> 00:08:44,274
I went to Chile on my own.
158
00:08:44,858 --> 00:08:46,484
I won the QS 3000
159
00:08:46,485 --> 00:08:48,986
and I won the
Junior the same day.
160
00:08:48,987 --> 00:08:51,447
-Wow. That's huge.
-Yeah.
161
00:08:51,448 --> 00:08:52,990
Yeah, that's... That's
super interesting.
162
00:08:52,991 --> 00:08:55,576
I mean, I think in the
Challenger especially,
163
00:08:55,577 --> 00:08:57,037
everyone is so good.
164
00:08:57,788 --> 00:09:00,290
And surfs so good, that
the big difference, it's...
165
00:09:01,416 --> 00:09:03,627
the mind control
and the mindset.
166
00:09:04,461 --> 00:09:06,879
So, South Africa,
167
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,967
I kind of was like
very anxious...
168
00:09:10,968 --> 00:09:13,553
and scared
169
00:09:14,596 --> 00:09:19,183
because after South Africa,
I was going to the Olympics.
170
00:09:19,184 --> 00:09:21,811
And I couldn't get the
Olympics out of my mind.
171
00:09:21,812 --> 00:09:24,272
Mentally, I was in South Africa.
172
00:09:24,273 --> 00:09:27,191
Like, I competed and I
couldn't think straight.
173
00:09:27,192 --> 00:09:30,069
Like, it was crazy. I've
never felt that thing before.
174
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:33,699
Like, do you think that you
were ready for the Olympics?
175
00:09:34,741 --> 00:09:37,702
I don't think I was
ready at all, mentally.
176
00:09:37,703 --> 00:09:39,161
It was crazy.
177
00:09:39,162 --> 00:09:43,542
Like, is this mountain,
like. The top of the hill?
178
00:09:44,876 --> 00:09:47,920
The higher you go, the
stronger the winds are.
179
00:09:47,921 --> 00:09:49,338
-Mm.
-And it's like,
180
00:09:49,339 --> 00:09:51,590
you have all these expectations.
181
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:53,467
And I just couldn't handle it.
182
00:09:53,468 --> 00:09:57,555
It's so good to get to know
people who are competing more
183
00:09:57,556 --> 00:10:00,683
and hearing like a bit
more of in-depth...
184
00:10:00,684 --> 00:10:02,977
what's going through their minds
and what they're working on.
185
00:10:02,978 --> 00:10:06,314
Because I always perceive you from
the outside, like before I knew you,
186
00:10:06,315 --> 00:10:08,774
that you're calm and
you're confident.
187
00:10:08,775 --> 00:10:10,484
You look like
you're clearheaded.
188
00:10:10,485 --> 00:10:12,570
-That's what people tell me.
-Yeah!
189
00:10:12,571 --> 00:10:15,072
It's interesting to hear that
there's more behind the scenes.
190
00:10:15,073 --> 00:10:17,367
-Everyone has their own battles.
-Mm.
191
00:10:18,327 --> 00:10:20,119
It's about living day by day.
192
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,164
-Yes.
-And, like, enjoy every single moment.
193
00:10:23,165 --> 00:10:24,540
-Live in the moment.
-Yeah.
194
00:10:24,541 --> 00:10:27,460
And you got a big opportunity
to end the year strong.
195
00:10:27,461 --> 00:10:29,086
I'm so motivated.
196
00:10:29,087 --> 00:10:31,422
That's amazing. I'm
excited for you.
197
00:10:31,423 --> 00:10:33,591
Thank you for reminding me that.
198
00:10:43,435 --> 00:10:46,228
Once again, from
Portugal, it's the Challenger Series.
199
00:10:46,229 --> 00:10:49,231
And we're getting close to
the point in the competition
200
00:10:49,232 --> 00:10:52,693
reaching a climax at the end
of the week here in Ericeira.
201
00:10:52,694 --> 00:10:55,280
At the moment there's
still so much up for grabs.
202
00:11:03,372 --> 00:11:06,165
This is the fifth stop
of the Challenger Series.
203
00:11:06,166 --> 00:11:09,752
It's been a long year
that went super fast,
204
00:11:09,753 --> 00:11:13,381
and I have lots of
ups and lots of downs.
205
00:11:13,382 --> 00:11:17,426
But I've had my
great result here.
206
00:11:17,427 --> 00:11:20,054
A little nervous, but
I'm looking forward
207
00:11:20,055 --> 00:11:23,266
to end this season
the best I can.
208
00:11:26,269 --> 00:11:29,063
Welcome back
to the shores of Portugal.
209
00:11:29,064 --> 00:11:32,608
{\an8}We are rifling through the
round of 16 of the women.
210
00:11:34,986 --> 00:11:37,863
Kirra Pinkerton in the
water with Sol Aguirre.
211
00:11:37,864 --> 00:11:39,532
Kirra comes around the edge,
212
00:11:39,533 --> 00:11:41,201
and there is a big turn.
213
00:11:46,915 --> 00:11:48,792
Kirra, going to town.
214
00:11:49,835 --> 00:11:51,127
{\an8}Here's Sol.
215
00:11:51,128 --> 00:11:52,545
{\an8}So she's driving down the line.
216
00:11:52,546 --> 00:11:55,257
{\an8}Oh, there's a nice little
lay back snap in the pocket.
217
00:11:56,341 --> 00:11:58,759
Just waiting for a
finish, if you can.
218
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,513
A little sweeping carve
with the arms out.
219
00:12:03,390 --> 00:12:05,057
This wave just not
really delivering.
220
00:12:05,058 --> 00:12:06,643
And a last little finish.
221
00:12:09,020 --> 00:12:11,440
Here goes Pinkerton with
a nice-looking face.
222
00:12:13,275 --> 00:12:15,109
There's a little down-carve.
223
00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:17,946
That left means she can hit
the loop on the second turn.
224
00:12:20,073 --> 00:12:21,283
She likes it.
225
00:12:22,325 --> 00:12:25,036
And here goes Sol
on the priority.
226
00:12:25,662 --> 00:12:27,788
Gets a little miniature
sort of foam climb.
227
00:12:27,789 --> 00:12:31,334
Here, hits the loop there with
a badder turn, a bit of spray.
228
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:34,171
And there's a third.
A little bit sticky.
229
00:12:35,839 --> 00:12:37,798
She gonna aim for a finish.
So there's a nice finish.
230
00:12:37,799 --> 00:12:39,425
So there's two waves
ridden in a few minutes.
231
00:12:39,426 --> 00:12:40,634
We're happy about that.
232
00:12:40,635 --> 00:12:41,969
Yes.
233
00:12:41,970 --> 00:12:44,013
I think that's
better than her last.
234
00:12:44,014 --> 00:12:46,892
Pinkerton
just keeps racking them up.
235
00:12:48,852 --> 00:12:50,187
She's been busy.
236
00:12:52,355 --> 00:12:55,274
I just feel like the
American, Kirra Pinkerton,
237
00:12:55,275 --> 00:12:58,111
is getting way more
drive and speed.
238
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,240
You know, this next one is gonna
be the crucial one for Sol.
239
00:13:03,241 --> 00:13:05,367
She needs an 8.53.
240
00:13:05,368 --> 00:13:08,537
So it's the last wave probably
of the whole event, to be honest.
241
00:13:08,538 --> 00:13:10,039
There's a lovely turn.
242
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,501
Again, just shows
flashes of brilliance.
243
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:21,592
She surfed incredible.
She really did.
244
00:13:22,928 --> 00:13:25,931
{\an8}So big, big heat
win there for Kirra Pinkerton.
245
00:13:30,227 --> 00:13:33,562
I was feeling mad and sad but...
246
00:13:33,563 --> 00:13:35,147
I just gotta accept that
247
00:13:35,148 --> 00:13:36,398
she surfed better.
248
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:37,775
So I just gotta get better.
249
00:13:37,776 --> 00:13:41,695
I just want to compete and get
the chances I have to, like,
250
00:13:41,696 --> 00:13:44,490
keep pushing my surfing.
251
00:13:44,491 --> 00:13:47,536
And I want to finish
this year right.
252
00:14:04,761 --> 00:14:06,471
Good one, Soph.
253
00:14:08,848 --> 00:14:12,269
My family is so
competitive in everything.
254
00:14:13,937 --> 00:14:15,563
So I played tennis,
255
00:14:15,564 --> 00:14:17,565
I played basketball,
256
00:14:17,566 --> 00:14:20,568
{\an8}and I used to play soccer
with the boys at school.
257
00:14:20,569 --> 00:14:22,444
{\an8}And I used to be so competitive.
258
00:14:22,445 --> 00:14:24,196
{\an8}They would look
at me and be like,
259
00:14:24,197 --> 00:14:27,409
"That girl is scary.
She's gnarly."
260
00:14:28,451 --> 00:14:30,245
You guys are in cahoots!
261
00:14:39,212 --> 00:14:40,463
Good one!
262
00:14:44,301 --> 00:14:47,636
My brother Gabriel, he's been
always my biggest supporter.
263
00:14:47,637 --> 00:14:50,598
I feel like I've been needing
more of him as a big brother
264
00:14:50,599 --> 00:14:54,310
and not just be competing all
the time, and he knows that.
265
00:14:54,311 --> 00:14:56,604
It's nice that we can
spend some time together.
266
00:14:56,605 --> 00:14:59,273
{\an8}-We love it when we are together.
-I love it.
267
00:14:59,274 --> 00:15:02,443
It feels... Feel safe. Feels...
Feels home a little bit.
268
00:15:02,444 --> 00:15:03,444
Feels like home.
269
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,572
Time goes so fast.
270
00:15:06,573 --> 00:15:09,492
Would you imagine I
would be competing?
271
00:15:10,076 --> 00:15:11,869
-Not as good.
-Aw!
272
00:15:11,870 --> 00:15:13,245
Stop.
273
00:15:13,246 --> 00:15:14,455
No, you're too good.
274
00:15:14,456 --> 00:15:15,789
Yeah.
275
00:15:15,790 --> 00:15:17,249
That was really sweet.
276
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:19,668
But I-I-I truly love this life.
277
00:15:19,669 --> 00:15:22,546
And it was because one
day I watched you, like,
278
00:15:22,547 --> 00:15:24,965
I could travel
and see how is it.
279
00:15:24,966 --> 00:15:27,635
-Yeah.
-And I was like, "I want to do that."
280
00:15:27,636 --> 00:15:28,927
Yeah. Yeah.
281
00:15:28,928 --> 00:15:31,805
Girls' surf is growing
so much, you know.
282
00:15:31,806 --> 00:15:33,891
I've never seen so many
girls in the water.
283
00:15:33,892 --> 00:15:38,562
And the way they surf and
put themselves in situations
284
00:15:38,563 --> 00:15:41,690
in the water used to
be different back then.
285
00:15:41,691 --> 00:15:43,525
Your generation is strong.
286
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,694
-So strong. So many.
-Yeah.
287
00:15:45,695 --> 00:15:47,237
-Many girls.
-Many girls.
288
00:15:47,238 --> 00:15:49,448
-That's why you got to work so hard.
-Yeah.
289
00:15:49,449 --> 00:15:51,450
You know, it is what it is.
290
00:15:51,451 --> 00:15:54,244
You know, when you feel
like it's not gonna work...
291
00:15:54,245 --> 00:15:57,539
-Yeah.
-...but you don't want to accept
292
00:15:57,540 --> 00:15:59,208
that you feel that?
293
00:15:59,209 --> 00:16:03,295
So I was feeling that, but I was like,
"No, I can't feel that," you know?
294
00:16:03,296 --> 00:16:05,255
And so I was so lost.
295
00:16:05,256 --> 00:16:07,842
-Yeah.
-Like I wasn't connected with the ocean.
296
00:16:08,385 --> 00:16:09,843
-It happens.
-Yeah.
297
00:16:09,844 --> 00:16:13,263
When I was 18,
298
00:16:13,264 --> 00:16:14,723
I almost fell off.
299
00:16:14,724 --> 00:16:16,809
-Really?
-And then I got a good result,
300
00:16:16,810 --> 00:16:18,435
and then I requalified,
and then...
301
00:16:18,436 --> 00:16:21,063
-No way. I didn't know that.
-Yeah.
302
00:16:21,064 --> 00:16:25,359
Did you, like, used to think
a lot about everything?
303
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,777
-Yes.
-Yeah?
304
00:16:26,778 --> 00:16:30,280
Maybe put more
pressure on myself.
305
00:16:30,281 --> 00:16:31,699
Yeah. Yeah.
306
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:35,619
I feel like you handle it so much better
with pressure than without pressure.
307
00:16:35,620 --> 00:16:37,204
-Yeah.
-Coming to this event,
308
00:16:37,205 --> 00:16:39,416
I-I kind of felt nervous.
309
00:16:40,125 --> 00:16:41,375
Like a little bit of pressure.
310
00:16:41,376 --> 00:16:43,919
And so, like, before
going to Saquarema,
311
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,088
I don't want to make
the same mistakes.
312
00:16:46,089 --> 00:16:48,215
-You know what I mean?
-Yeah.
313
00:16:48,216 --> 00:16:50,467
You're gonna make
a lot of mistakes,
314
00:16:50,468 --> 00:16:52,428
but you're gonna
fix after, you know?
315
00:16:52,429 --> 00:16:54,054
Yeah. It's crazy.
316
00:16:54,055 --> 00:16:56,640
But I have the faith one
day you're gonna make it.
317
00:16:56,641 --> 00:16:58,434
So I'm gonna keep working.
318
00:16:58,435 --> 00:16:59,435
Yeah.
319
00:16:59,436 --> 00:17:01,812
I used to not appreciate
your love too much.
320
00:17:01,813 --> 00:17:03,897
-Yeah.
-Because I wouldn't...
321
00:17:03,898 --> 00:17:05,899
Yeah, but now I get it.
322
00:17:05,900 --> 00:17:07,943
I love you so much.
323
00:17:07,944 --> 00:17:09,446
-I love you.
-Mwah.
324
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:14,450
Always, forever.
325
00:17:14,451 --> 00:17:17,829
-Always. Forever. Yeah.
-Let's get going?
326
00:17:23,501 --> 00:17:24,793
It was nice!
327
00:17:24,794 --> 00:17:26,962
I sweated a lot,
my shirt is soaked.
328
00:17:26,963 --> 00:17:29,424
Good thing you have
some cologne on.
329
00:17:37,849 --> 00:17:39,391
{\an8}To be a professional surfer,
330
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:41,853
{\an8}it's really expensive
and it's really hard.
331
00:17:42,562 --> 00:17:44,271
I'm sponsored by Roxy.
332
00:17:44,272 --> 00:17:46,482
As a kid, they were
my dream sponsor,
333
00:17:46,483 --> 00:17:50,235
and I was super happy to be
sponsored when I was ten years old.
334
00:17:50,236 --> 00:17:52,905
Each year, they gave me money
so that I can buy their clothes.
335
00:17:52,906 --> 00:17:55,240
This is the biggest store
we have in Portugal,
336
00:17:55,241 --> 00:17:57,910
and also one of the
biggest in Europe.
337
00:17:57,911 --> 00:18:00,788
I have a budget for
winter and for summer.
338
00:18:00,789 --> 00:18:04,291
I can just pick whatever I want
and, yeah, I'm pretty spoiled.
339
00:18:04,292 --> 00:18:07,628
It's awesome being fortunate
enough to just come into the store
340
00:18:07,629 --> 00:18:09,129
and grab things that I like.
341
00:18:09,130 --> 00:18:11,632
I love clothes, so
it's really good
342
00:18:11,633 --> 00:18:14,468
that I just can come
and pick what I want.
343
00:18:14,469 --> 00:18:15,552
It's pretty fun.
344
00:18:15,553 --> 00:18:17,513
I always get excited
to see what's new.
345
00:18:17,514 --> 00:18:19,973
Okay, I'm gonna go
check the wet suits.
346
00:18:19,974 --> 00:18:22,017
In Portugal, the
water is really cold,
347
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:25,604
so I want to make sure I get
them fast before they sell out.
348
00:18:25,605 --> 00:18:28,357
Trying to look for a size 4.
349
00:18:28,358 --> 00:18:30,401
A little old-school back-zip.
350
00:18:30,985 --> 00:18:32,277
Are you paying with your card?
351
00:18:32,278 --> 00:18:33,363
-Yeah.
-Please.
352
00:18:35,949 --> 00:18:37,074
Thank you!
353
00:18:37,075 --> 00:18:38,868
See you next time.
354
00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:47,168
This place looks cool.
355
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,379
Oh, cute.
356
00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:51,964
-Hello.
-Hello.
357
00:18:51,965 --> 00:18:53,423
Welcome to our restaurant.
358
00:18:53,424 --> 00:18:55,300
-How many you are?
-Just three.
359
00:18:55,301 --> 00:18:57,887
-Just three? This table, please.
-Thank you.
360
00:18:58,471 --> 00:19:01,098
Hawaii has a lot of
Portuguese influence,
361
00:19:01,099 --> 00:19:04,643
and Tutu is part
Portuguese, part Hawaiian.
362
00:19:04,644 --> 00:19:06,186
And she's never been out
of the country before.
363
00:19:06,187 --> 00:19:09,356
So this trip's,
yeah, really special.
364
00:19:09,357 --> 00:19:12,109
Okay. Cheers. You can
cheers with your water.
365
00:19:14,362 --> 00:19:16,446
To family trips to Portugal.
366
00:19:16,447 --> 00:19:17,698
Family trips.
367
00:19:17,699 --> 00:19:19,117
Yay, cheers.
368
00:19:20,785 --> 00:19:23,662
Tutu, it's been so
nice having you here.
369
00:19:23,663 --> 00:19:27,374
You excited for your first,
uh, out of the country trip?
370
00:19:27,375 --> 00:19:29,960
Yes. It's a lot more
than I was expecting.
371
00:19:29,961 --> 00:19:31,670
-Yeah.
-There's so much to see.
372
00:19:31,671 --> 00:19:33,380
It's been so much fun.
373
00:19:33,381 --> 00:19:34,923
-Yeah.
-It is really beautiful.
374
00:19:34,924 --> 00:19:36,592
It's been really beautiful.
375
00:19:36,593 --> 00:19:38,886
Most of my Portuguese
comes from you.
376
00:19:38,887 --> 00:19:41,513
I don't know much about
my Portuguese side,
377
00:19:41,514 --> 00:19:44,391
so, yeah, I think it's really
cool that you got to come.
378
00:19:44,392 --> 00:19:46,643
And I'm really happy that
you're here for this event.
379
00:19:46,644 --> 00:19:47,896
It's been wonderful.
380
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:50,898
And it's pretty cool
that we've got to have
381
00:19:50,899 --> 00:19:54,610
three generations of women
on this trip together.
382
00:19:54,611 --> 00:19:55,611
Yeah.
383
00:19:55,612 --> 00:19:57,195
That is super awesome.
384
00:19:57,196 --> 00:19:58,447
It's been fun.
385
00:19:58,448 --> 00:20:00,866
Being able to come out
here and watch this
386
00:20:00,867 --> 00:20:02,784
has been really,
really wonderful.
387
00:20:02,785 --> 00:20:06,915
And we get to spend a little time
together, since I never see you anymore,
388
00:20:08,625 --> 00:20:10,500
You're like, "Yup."
389
00:20:10,501 --> 00:20:12,377
I'm on my own now.
390
00:20:12,378 --> 00:20:14,421
No, it's actually
been so much better.
391
00:20:14,422 --> 00:20:17,090
Yeah, it's been so much better.
So I'm so much more mellow.
392
00:20:17,091 --> 00:20:20,427
-Yeah, you were so aggro last year.
-Hey, take it easy. I'm a mom, okay?
393
00:20:20,428 --> 00:20:24,514
When you dedicate your life to something,
we're dedicating our lives to it as well.
394
00:20:24,515 --> 00:20:27,142
This trip has been really
good. We've been super chill.
395
00:20:27,143 --> 00:20:30,062
We haven't even gotten
into one single fight.
396
00:20:32,690 --> 00:20:34,442
We're super excited to...
397
00:20:35,485 --> 00:20:37,778
see how you do for
the last contest.
398
00:20:37,779 --> 00:20:40,322
Obviously, I want you to do
the best that you can do,
399
00:20:40,323 --> 00:20:43,784
but I really do think
grow, learn, progress.
400
00:20:43,785 --> 00:20:45,786
-Yeah.
-But overall,
401
00:20:45,787 --> 00:20:50,707
like, you guys are the top 50
female surfers in the world,
402
00:20:50,708 --> 00:20:54,044
-and that's definitely something to be...
-Very proud of.
403
00:20:54,045 --> 00:20:55,712
-Yeah.
-Very proud of.
404
00:20:55,713 --> 00:20:57,798
-So...
-Thank you.
405
00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:00,634
-We'll definitely be watching.
-Yeah.
406
00:21:00,635 --> 00:21:03,054
So yeah, I'll be stalking you, too.
407
00:21:14,023 --> 00:21:15,316
Ay, ay.
408
00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:21,613
This is the only thing I don't
like about traveling, is packing.
409
00:21:21,614 --> 00:21:23,115
It's very stressful.
410
00:21:23,116 --> 00:21:25,660
I got to be prepared
for everything.
411
00:21:27,453 --> 00:21:28,620
This...
412
00:21:28,621 --> 00:21:30,372
The next step is Brazil.
413
00:21:30,373 --> 00:21:32,040
It defines a lot of things.
414
00:21:32,041 --> 00:21:33,917
CT qualification,
415
00:21:33,918 --> 00:21:36,128
re-qualification
to the challengers.
416
00:21:36,129 --> 00:21:37,421
So it's hard.
417
00:21:37,422 --> 00:21:39,298
You just have to, like...
418
00:21:40,758 --> 00:21:41,968
fight for it.
419
00:21:42,552 --> 00:21:44,012
I think we're good to go.
420
00:21:51,811 --> 00:21:56,189
Hi. So we're leaving Portugal
and we're going to Saquarema.
421
00:21:56,190 --> 00:21:58,775
Uh-oh, last call. Got to go.
422
00:22:01,904 --> 00:22:04,949
Good morning. We're
off to Brazil.
423
00:22:05,783 --> 00:22:08,243
There she is.
She only just arrived.
424
00:22:08,244 --> 00:22:11,830
And I've been here the whole time waiting,
and she goes straight to the front.
425
00:22:11,831 --> 00:22:14,250
She's premium platinum.
426
00:22:14,959 --> 00:22:18,713
Putting my plane
snacks together.
427
00:22:19,297 --> 00:22:22,841
I went to get food
at the lounge,
428
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:25,928
and now we're running
to make our boarding.
429
00:22:26,554 --> 00:22:27,722
Whoops.
430
00:22:28,639 --> 00:22:30,974
Bye, Portugal!
431
00:22:30,975 --> 00:22:32,893
We almost missed our flight.
432
00:22:32,894 --> 00:22:35,395
But we made it because
we're professionals.
433
00:22:35,396 --> 00:22:36,856
I got lucky.
434
00:22:50,244 --> 00:22:52,246
Eating is very important.
435
00:22:54,415 --> 00:22:58,586
Sol's bags made it, and
I'm still waiting for my first one!
436
00:22:59,420 --> 00:23:00,796
Oh, there it is.
437
00:23:00,797 --> 00:23:02,089
There it is.
438
00:23:02,090 --> 00:23:05,301
So we just arrived in Brazil.
439
00:23:06,344 --> 00:23:08,845
Now I have the
right passport, too.
440
00:23:08,846 --> 00:23:12,100
We're gonna get the
car to go to Saquarema.
441
00:23:13,601 --> 00:23:14,852
See you.
442
00:23:25,446 --> 00:23:27,740
Room tour in Brazil.
443
00:23:28,241 --> 00:23:30,367
Some dirty clothes I
haven't washed yet.
444
00:23:30,368 --> 00:23:32,536
And this is my room.
445
00:23:32,537 --> 00:23:36,414
{\an8}It has a patio outside
where we can barbecue.
446
00:23:36,415 --> 00:23:38,041
Make some pizza.
447
00:23:38,042 --> 00:23:42,713
And then we have a
swimming pool, too.
448
00:23:44,006 --> 00:23:45,216
It's pretty sick.
449
00:23:53,099 --> 00:23:54,474
It's very windy!
450
00:23:54,475 --> 00:23:56,561
-Wow!
-Wow!
451
00:23:58,020 --> 00:23:59,980
Let's sit here a bit.
452
00:23:59,981 --> 00:24:03,191
{\an8}It's nice to be here, and
I know it's just beautiful.
453
00:24:03,192 --> 00:24:05,444
It's all special, and I
think it's a beautiful town.
454
00:24:06,571 --> 00:24:10,157
{\an8}Brazil is my favorite place.
455
00:24:10,158 --> 00:24:12,409
It's my home country,
and it's just beautiful.
456
00:24:12,410 --> 00:24:17,455
It's full of colors, full of life,
and full of happiness and joy,
457
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:19,124
People here are happy.
458
00:24:19,125 --> 00:24:22,294
I love being Brazilian, and I'm
really proud to say I'm from here.
459
00:24:22,295 --> 00:24:26,006
This place is the
the best place to...
460
00:24:26,007 --> 00:24:28,384
To do a contest in Brazil.
461
00:24:29,177 --> 00:24:30,386
It's more calm.
462
00:24:31,470 --> 00:24:33,597
The waves are very good.
463
00:24:33,598 --> 00:24:35,182
-It's very consistent.
-Yeah.
464
00:24:35,183 --> 00:24:39,394
You remember
2021 when we came here?
465
00:24:39,395 --> 00:24:43,148
It was my first
QS win of my life.
466
00:24:49,363 --> 00:24:52,741
We didn't expect winning
a QS here, right?
467
00:24:52,742 --> 00:24:55,994
We were just starting. It was my
second year on the regional QS.
468
00:24:55,995 --> 00:25:01,458
And we came here, and we were
watching the sunset right here.
469
00:25:01,459 --> 00:25:04,128
Just looking back,
it's amazing to...
470
00:25:05,129 --> 00:25:07,380
Like, we're sitting
in different situat...
471
00:25:07,381 --> 00:25:10,842
Like, different positions
right now, different rankings.
472
00:25:10,843 --> 00:25:13,845
No, I'm happy to be
here, but we understand
473
00:25:13,846 --> 00:25:16,848
the responsibilities that we
have with the championship...
474
00:25:16,849 --> 00:25:20,685
The level is higher, and it's
a little bit more serious.
475
00:25:20,686 --> 00:25:23,688
Sitting on top 15 of
the Challenger Series
476
00:25:23,689 --> 00:25:24,773
after three years.
477
00:25:24,774 --> 00:25:27,359
But at the same time,
I feel like we...
478
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:31,571
We still have the same reflections,
and we're still the same...
479
00:25:31,572 --> 00:25:34,032
Same people with
different experiences.
480
00:25:34,033 --> 00:25:36,117
And it's a special place
481
00:25:36,118 --> 00:25:38,536
where special things
happen for us, I think.
482
00:25:38,537 --> 00:25:40,538
-Yeah.
-And I really don't say
483
00:25:40,539 --> 00:25:43,208
that I'm proud of
me or proud of us.
484
00:25:43,209 --> 00:25:44,960
I usually say I'm proud of you.
485
00:25:44,961 --> 00:25:47,462
But I'm literally,
like... I'm proud of us.
486
00:25:47,463 --> 00:25:51,968
I'm proud of what we've been
working, and just to get here.
487
00:25:53,344 --> 00:25:57,180
It's scary that I put all my eggs in
one basket on the Challenger Series.
488
00:25:57,181 --> 00:26:00,267
I'm not only trying to
make it to the top five
489
00:26:00,268 --> 00:26:02,185
to qualify for the
Championship Tour,
490
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:04,562
but I need to make
at least top ten
491
00:26:04,563 --> 00:26:06,898
to qualify for the
Challenger Series next year.
492
00:26:06,899 --> 00:26:08,900
Right now, I'm in 13th place,
493
00:26:08,901 --> 00:26:10,652
so I have to do really well.
494
00:26:10,653 --> 00:26:12,404
It's a lot of added pressure
495
00:26:12,405 --> 00:26:15,448
on top of performing
well in my home country.
496
00:26:15,449 --> 00:26:18,618
And now, that's it. Work,
have fun, be happy...
497
00:26:18,619 --> 00:26:21,246
-And enjoy each moment.
-And enjoy.
498
00:26:21,247 --> 00:26:22,956
We love Saquarema.
499
00:26:31,340 --> 00:26:34,218
-Ready for the competition?
-Yes.
500
00:26:35,177 --> 00:26:36,762
You're gonna crush it.
501
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,849
{\an8}Saquarema is my second
home on the regionals.
502
00:26:40,850 --> 00:26:43,059
{\an8}My mom always
comes to Saquarema,
503
00:26:43,060 --> 00:26:48,315
{\an8}and I really wanted my dad to
experience this challenger and Brazil.
504
00:26:48,316 --> 00:26:51,234
I kind of miss having
my dad on my corner.
505
00:26:51,235 --> 00:26:53,738
So I'm very happy and
excited that he's here.
506
00:26:54,322 --> 00:26:57,198
My mom and I always come here
because we have a friend.
507
00:26:57,199 --> 00:27:00,243
-Beach house.
-Beach house.
508
00:27:00,244 --> 00:27:03,079
I like little towns, like home.
509
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,999
Yes. Here, I get
my favorite acai.
510
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,544
This is the best acai in town.
511
00:27:09,170 --> 00:27:11,129
-Shh!
-Yeah, let's go.
512
00:27:11,130 --> 00:27:12,339
Let's check it out.
513
00:27:12,340 --> 00:27:13,631
Hola.
514
00:27:13,632 --> 00:27:16,801
-With fruit.
-Yes, I'll add some fruit.
515
00:27:17,762 --> 00:27:23,016
Thank you! Come over here.
Best acai in the world.
516
00:27:23,017 --> 00:27:26,729
-Thanks.
-Thank you, Sol.
517
00:27:28,773 --> 00:27:29,773
Mm.
518
00:27:32,401 --> 00:27:33,444
Do you like it?
519
00:27:36,697 --> 00:27:40,575
-It even makes my teeth hurt.
-It's delicious.
520
00:27:40,576 --> 00:27:41,994
Acai of luck.
521
00:27:43,037 --> 00:27:45,830
This will give me power for,
like, the contest tomorrow.
522
00:27:45,831 --> 00:27:46,999
Hopefully.
523
00:27:48,751 --> 00:27:50,753
-There it is.
-Oh, it's so fun.
524
00:27:51,379 --> 00:27:52,546
Beautiful place.
525
00:27:55,007 --> 00:27:56,758
I'm so happy you're here.
526
00:27:59,095 --> 00:28:00,179
Me too.
527
00:28:02,264 --> 00:28:04,641
-Yeah.
-We'll get along, okay?
528
00:28:06,185 --> 00:28:07,311
If you do a good job.
529
00:28:08,229 --> 00:28:09,480
Yes.
530
00:28:12,566 --> 00:28:16,194
Bom dia. Good
morning, here in Saquarema
531
00:28:16,195 --> 00:28:18,696
for the Corona Saquarema Pro.
532
00:28:18,697 --> 00:28:21,408
Our focus right now is
on the women's rankings.
533
00:28:21,409 --> 00:28:24,077
It's all gonna come
down to this event.
534
00:28:24,078 --> 00:28:26,329
{\an8}This is the last stop of
the Challenger Series.
535
00:28:26,330 --> 00:28:30,792
This will tell us who will qualify
for the Championship Tour next year.
536
00:28:30,793 --> 00:28:34,379
This event is big, so I'm
feeling a little nervous.
537
00:28:34,380 --> 00:28:35,839
Every heat matters here.
538
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,134
Because of my higher rankings,
I skipped the round of 48.
539
00:28:39,135 --> 00:28:42,721
But it's still gonna take a lot to
advance all the way through the finals.
540
00:28:43,639 --> 00:28:45,849
Saquarema is a pretty
challenging wave,
541
00:28:45,850 --> 00:28:48,017
but it's really fun and
it has a lot of power.
542
00:28:48,018 --> 00:28:50,271
I think it fits my
surfing pretty well.
543
00:28:51,355 --> 00:28:54,274
It's just the craziest
place. There's so much going on.
544
00:28:54,275 --> 00:28:56,067
There's so many people.
545
00:28:56,068 --> 00:28:58,736
There's photos being
taken, and sweating.
546
00:28:58,737 --> 00:29:00,238
It's just the craziest setup.
547
00:29:00,239 --> 00:29:03,408
Conditions in
Saquarema change so fast.
548
00:29:03,409 --> 00:29:06,536
I've had my worst and my
best moments in Saquarema,
549
00:29:06,537 --> 00:29:09,497
competing on the
Juniors, QS, CT events.
550
00:29:09,498 --> 00:29:13,960
And, for me, advancing
through as much as I can here,
551
00:29:13,961 --> 00:29:15,462
it's really important.
552
00:29:15,463 --> 00:29:18,423
So I'm really focused, and
I'll give everything I can.
553
00:29:18,424 --> 00:29:21,342
{\an8}Overall, everyone's pretty,
like, excited to be here.
554
00:29:21,343 --> 00:29:24,804
There's only ten women
who, at the end of Brazil,
555
00:29:24,805 --> 00:29:26,723
know they're gonna be
back on tour next year.
556
00:29:26,724 --> 00:29:29,142
So we're all fighting
to be here again.
557
00:29:33,272 --> 00:29:35,899
A lot of preparation
already happening this morning.
558
00:29:35,900 --> 00:29:38,526
When you look at pressure,
this is one of those catalyst moments
559
00:29:38,527 --> 00:29:40,695
for a lot of these people
looking to qualify.
560
00:29:40,696 --> 00:29:42,947
The waves
are gonna provide cheers
561
00:29:42,948 --> 00:29:44,991
and/or tears.
562
00:29:44,992 --> 00:29:47,660
It's gonna be for
sure a very tough competition.
563
00:29:59,507 --> 00:30:01,883
Look for any openings,
even if it's not perfect.
564
00:30:01,884 --> 00:30:03,676
Create your opportunities.
565
00:30:03,677 --> 00:30:08,765
{\an8}The last few competitions, I
got pretty disappointed with my results.
566
00:30:08,766 --> 00:30:11,184
Thought I would do good in
Portugal, in my hometown,
567
00:30:11,185 --> 00:30:13,811
and I ended up losing
in the first round.
568
00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:16,606
But last year, this was
my best result out here.
569
00:30:16,607 --> 00:30:19,150
So I'm just gonna
take the same mindset
570
00:30:19,151 --> 00:30:21,528
as I did last year, and
it went pretty well.
571
00:30:21,529 --> 00:30:23,404
Very bumpy with
this tricky wind.
572
00:30:23,405 --> 00:30:25,532
Should I take it easy?
573
00:30:25,533 --> 00:30:29,994
No, you can try. They are scoring
well on just one maneuver.
574
00:30:29,995 --> 00:30:31,746
{\an8}Today's a tricky one.
575
00:30:31,747 --> 00:30:34,165
The wind picked up. The
tide is really high.
576
00:30:34,166 --> 00:30:36,334
The waves are really hard.
577
00:30:36,335 --> 00:30:39,462
It looks like the wave waits for
you, right? Because of the wind.
578
00:30:39,463 --> 00:30:44,425
It seems like it's coming this
way, but then it shifts over here.
579
00:30:44,426 --> 00:30:47,429
So we're going to try to adapt.
580
00:30:49,890 --> 00:30:52,267
With determination, let's
do this like warriors.
581
00:30:52,268 --> 00:30:53,644
Let's do it.
582
00:30:59,483 --> 00:31:02,819
{\an8}New heat out of the
water with a former World Junior Champ
583
00:31:02,820 --> 00:31:05,613
{\an8}in the way of "Kika"
Francisca Veselko.
584
00:31:05,614 --> 00:31:07,657
{\an8}Francisca
Veselko there.
585
00:31:07,658 --> 00:31:09,034
{\an8}Swooping around.
586
00:31:10,077 --> 00:31:11,829
Challenging conditions.
587
00:31:12,580 --> 00:31:15,748
It's really hard to be on the
lineup and choosing the right ones,
588
00:31:15,749 --> 00:31:18,084
because there's a lot
of wind and bumps.
589
00:31:18,085 --> 00:31:19,711
Daniella.
590
00:31:19,712 --> 00:31:21,754
Nice
big turn right there.
591
00:31:21,755 --> 00:31:24,007
So this
turns into a competition
592
00:31:24,008 --> 00:31:25,926
of one or two big turns.
593
00:31:27,219 --> 00:31:29,722
...here comes Kika.
594
00:31:32,766 --> 00:31:35,852
Battling for some
open face and she's gonna find none.
595
00:31:35,853 --> 00:31:39,856
Yeah, look
how chunky the wave is.
596
00:31:39,857 --> 00:31:41,524
Now
that's frustrating.
597
00:31:41,525 --> 00:31:44,778
You can see she's gonna make
a swift paddle back out.
598
00:31:45,738 --> 00:31:51,785
Hopefully she will get one wave with
less bumps and do two big turns.
599
00:31:52,745 --> 00:31:53,953
On
the inside here,
600
00:31:53,954 --> 00:31:56,539
looks like it's gonna
be Leilani McGonagle.
601
00:31:56,540 --> 00:31:58,500
Gonna get a little
inside runner.
602
00:31:59,918 --> 00:32:03,421
Builds up some speed down
the line, oncoming section.
603
00:32:03,422 --> 00:32:07,176
She meets that with a
beautiful turn right there.
604
00:32:07,885 --> 00:32:11,513
And we have Daniella
Rosas, our Peruvian surfer.
605
00:32:12,181 --> 00:32:14,098
Daniella attacks the lip
606
00:32:14,099 --> 00:32:17,602
with that nice opening
ride in a back of a 4.9.
607
00:32:17,603 --> 00:32:19,270
She's currently in the lead.
608
00:32:19,271 --> 00:32:22,857
{\an8}Francisca Veselko,
who is our top seed in this heat,
609
00:32:22,858 --> 00:32:24,651
{\an8}is searching for a score.
610
00:32:24,652 --> 00:32:27,403
So Kika hasn't found
a good one yet.
611
00:32:27,404 --> 00:32:29,615
She's trying to...
612
00:32:30,491 --> 00:32:32,450
to be where the good waves are,
613
00:32:32,451 --> 00:32:34,453
but it's always so bumpy.
614
00:32:35,579 --> 00:32:37,789
Take a look
here at the 24-year-old
615
00:32:37,790 --> 00:32:41,377
Leilani McGonagle from
Pavones, Costa Rica.
616
00:32:42,086 --> 00:32:43,086
That was nice.
617
00:32:43,087 --> 00:32:45,005
And Leilani currently
in second place.
618
00:32:45,589 --> 00:32:49,927
Now Taís just
making an effort right there.
619
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:52,762
Using her priority.
620
00:32:52,763 --> 00:32:56,140
She finds a nice wave
with three turns on the backhand.
621
00:32:56,141 --> 00:32:58,851
Priority sitting with
Francisca Veselko.
622
00:32:58,852 --> 00:33:00,770
Francisca needs
a mid-range score
623
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,439
to take that second place
position off of Leilani.
624
00:33:07,653 --> 00:33:09,238
And Francisca.
625
00:33:09,905 --> 00:33:12,156
Okay, she's on her way.
626
00:33:12,157 --> 00:33:13,826
Just needs a mid-range.
627
00:33:14,743 --> 00:33:16,036
Combos two.
628
00:33:20,416 --> 00:33:22,750
Veselko comes in
with a big number.
629
00:33:22,751 --> 00:33:25,837
{\an8}She goes all the way to first.
Take a look at the numbers here.
630
00:33:25,838 --> 00:33:27,422
{\an8}A 7.67.
631
00:33:27,423 --> 00:33:30,049
{\an8}We thought it was a
mid-range score all day long.
632
00:33:30,050 --> 00:33:32,677
She went way past that,
and she's into the lead.
633
00:33:32,678 --> 00:33:35,138
{\an8}She looks like she's
onto round of 32.
634
00:33:35,139 --> 00:33:37,141
{\an8}I'm all goosebumps, dude.
635
00:33:42,688 --> 00:33:46,107
It was like, celebrating like
I freaking won the event.
636
00:33:46,108 --> 00:33:47,817
I was like, "Yes!"
637
00:33:47,818 --> 00:33:50,611
I'm really stoked. I...
I'm, like, really happy.
638
00:33:50,612 --> 00:33:54,115
Even though it was just the
first round, I don't know.
639
00:33:54,116 --> 00:33:57,702
I'm just super happy, and I
still... I still feel the adrenaline
640
00:33:57,703 --> 00:34:01,122
because I was like
stressing out there.
641
00:34:01,123 --> 00:34:04,625
You know, Portugal, I lost
for such a little score
642
00:34:04,626 --> 00:34:08,004
and it's been just such
a hard, like, year for me
643
00:34:08,005 --> 00:34:10,965
that being able to, like,
handle it until the end,
644
00:34:10,966 --> 00:34:13,302
and being able to
turn it around.
645
00:34:14,553 --> 00:34:15,929
Just means everything to me.
646
00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:25,813
{\an8}Just checking to see
which wet suits are dry.
647
00:34:25,814 --> 00:34:27,356
{\an8}Only brought two this time.
648
00:34:27,357 --> 00:34:28,941
I usually bring a lot more,
649
00:34:28,942 --> 00:34:33,029
but I didn't want my
bags to be that heavy.
650
00:34:33,030 --> 00:34:36,032
I feel like my biggest struggle
on the Challenger Series this year
651
00:34:36,033 --> 00:34:39,994
was, um, my mindset
in competition.
652
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:42,664
I'm gonna try this
board out today.
653
00:34:43,165 --> 00:34:46,168
I really struggle with my anxiety
and doing well during heats.
654
00:34:50,464 --> 00:34:52,632
But this is what I want
to do, and I love surfing.
655
00:34:52,633 --> 00:34:54,717
So I'm hoping to move past that
656
00:34:54,718 --> 00:34:57,054
and do well so I can make
it back here next year.
657
00:34:58,806 --> 00:35:00,390
And we're ready to surf.
658
00:35:10,484 --> 00:35:13,110
{\an8}We're on to
another heat. Look at this setup.
659
00:35:13,111 --> 00:35:16,072
{\an8}Ēwelei'ula Wong, Taina Hinckel,
660
00:35:16,073 --> 00:35:19,283
{\an8}Talia Swindal and
Alexia Monteiro.
661
00:35:22,871 --> 00:35:25,248
Talia Swindal out of
Malibu, California.
662
00:35:25,249 --> 00:35:26,542
The 18-year-old.
663
00:35:28,335 --> 00:35:29,878
Looking sharp so far.
664
00:35:33,340 --> 00:35:35,299
Alexia Monteiro.
665
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:36,844
Lacking the finish there.
666
00:35:37,427 --> 00:35:38,928
This is Ēwe Wong.
667
00:35:38,929 --> 00:35:41,514
{\an8}Finding
her first ride.
668
00:35:41,515 --> 00:35:44,600
{\an8}And some smooth face in
the wind on this wave.
669
00:35:44,601 --> 00:35:47,895
And Ēwe able to time
the backwash there
670
00:35:47,896 --> 00:35:49,438
and gets a tidy finish.
671
00:35:49,439 --> 00:35:52,483
And Ēwe with a 5.83
on her first effort.
672
00:35:52,484 --> 00:35:55,654
Now she will need
to find another gem to back it up.
673
00:35:56,321 --> 00:35:59,116
Oh, let's pay
attention here to Alexia, though.
674
00:35:59,867 --> 00:36:04,413
I feel Alexia did enough to get
into the top with that effort.
675
00:36:05,831 --> 00:36:08,040
Alexia momentarily
takes the lead.
676
00:36:08,041 --> 00:36:10,835
Ēwe Wong searching for
some open face here.
677
00:36:10,836 --> 00:36:12,795
She got a couple of S-turns.
678
00:36:12,796 --> 00:36:14,171
Really well served.
679
00:36:14,172 --> 00:36:16,757
-Talia Swindal, though.-Wow.
680
00:36:16,758 --> 00:36:18,634
Talk about
a power snap right there.
681
00:36:18,635 --> 00:36:21,345
That could take her
into a top two position.
682
00:36:21,346 --> 00:36:25,684
We'll see if Swindal
is able to displace Ēwelei'ula Wong.
683
00:36:26,602 --> 00:36:29,437
Taina Hinckel trying
to answer back in a rally here,
684
00:36:29,438 --> 00:36:31,648
and Taina also
finishes off her ride.
685
00:36:32,441 --> 00:36:34,942
Gosh, so this gonna be all over
the place in this final minute.
686
00:36:34,943 --> 00:36:36,694
Yeah,
very tight heat.
687
00:36:36,695 --> 00:36:38,863
Ēwe
Wong goes down.
688
00:36:38,864 --> 00:36:41,824
Taina Hinckel
still chasing a 5.17.
689
00:36:41,825 --> 00:36:43,576
Feeling
like she's on her way.
690
00:36:43,577 --> 00:36:44,995
A little snap there.
691
00:36:45,871 --> 00:36:47,956
And things just
closed out on her.
692
00:36:48,624 --> 00:36:50,000
Wong.
693
00:36:54,254 --> 00:36:56,631
Ēwelei'ula Wong
throws it up there
694
00:36:56,632 --> 00:36:59,050
and just chops the top
off of that right-hander.
695
00:37:00,260 --> 00:37:02,595
Alexia Monteiro taking a win.
696
00:37:02,596 --> 00:37:06,433
{\an8}Ēwe's gonna move on as
well into the round of 32.
697
00:37:07,017 --> 00:37:09,685
{\an8}I went that whole heat
with two actual scorable waves,
698
00:37:09,686 --> 00:37:11,228
{\an8}and one in and out.
699
00:37:11,229 --> 00:37:14,732
So I was kind of
worrying the whole time.
700
00:37:14,733 --> 00:37:16,609
Definitely was never
comfortable during that heat.
701
00:37:16,610 --> 00:37:18,778
I don't know, the conditions
are really challenging.
702
00:37:18,779 --> 00:37:21,530
Being from Hawaii, I'm not
used to water this cold,
703
00:37:21,531 --> 00:37:24,159
so, happy I made it
through that one.
704
00:37:32,501 --> 00:37:34,210
Do you like coconuts?
705
00:37:34,211 --> 00:37:35,294
Yeah, love it.
706
00:37:35,295 --> 00:37:37,380
We should get a coconut water.
707
00:37:37,381 --> 00:37:39,925
They have really
good fish here too.
708
00:37:43,512 --> 00:37:44,595
This coconut is much better!
709
00:37:44,596 --> 00:37:45,931
It's all natural.
710
00:37:47,182 --> 00:37:48,308
Mm!
711
00:37:54,815 --> 00:37:59,151
Do you usually, like, get
used to being away from home?
712
00:37:59,152 --> 00:38:00,820
Yeah. I don't know.
713
00:38:00,821 --> 00:38:05,032
I feel like I've been really kind
of independent from a young age,
714
00:38:05,033 --> 00:38:08,452
and I started traveling,
and when I was 13 years old,
715
00:38:08,453 --> 00:38:11,081
I went by myself for the
first time to Australia.
716
00:38:11,790 --> 00:38:13,959
And I don't know,
I've kind of...
717
00:38:14,918 --> 00:38:17,211
I'm used to being kind of away.
718
00:38:17,212 --> 00:38:19,088
And it's good, I'll
have the opportunity
719
00:38:19,089 --> 00:38:20,965
to bring my coach with me,
720
00:38:20,966 --> 00:38:23,259
which even if you're
far away from home,
721
00:38:23,260 --> 00:38:26,762
it feels like home because we've...
We have such a good connection
722
00:38:26,763 --> 00:38:29,557
and we've known each
other for so many years.
723
00:38:29,558 --> 00:38:31,767
Being able to bring
him everywhere,
724
00:38:31,768 --> 00:38:34,895
um, it's great as a
coach and as, like,
725
00:38:34,896 --> 00:38:37,690
also like an emotional support.
726
00:38:37,691 --> 00:38:38,983
-Aw.
-Yeah.
727
00:38:38,984 --> 00:38:40,317
Yeah, I know that.
728
00:38:40,318 --> 00:38:42,403
-So...
-I love that because it's exactly
729
00:38:42,404 --> 00:38:44,572
how I feel like
with my dad, too.
730
00:38:44,573 --> 00:38:49,910
And I think we we make our own
home while we're traveling.
731
00:38:49,911 --> 00:38:53,748
I actually got so used to this
life where we are always traveling
732
00:38:53,749 --> 00:38:57,168
that when I get home, I'm just
like, "Okay, like, what's next?"
733
00:38:57,169 --> 00:39:00,171
Like, I can't stay
home too long.
734
00:39:00,172 --> 00:39:03,758
I'm home, I recharge. I'm
with my family, my brothers.
735
00:39:03,759 --> 00:39:06,802
Do you guys surf together all the
time or, like, do you usually...
736
00:39:06,803 --> 00:39:09,638
Weekends, yeah. My
mom still surfs.
737
00:39:09,639 --> 00:39:11,432
-Your mom still surfs?
-Yeah.
738
00:39:11,433 --> 00:39:12,683
-Really?
-Yeah.
739
00:39:12,684 --> 00:39:14,477
-You guys surf together?
-Yeah.
740
00:39:14,478 --> 00:39:17,438
-That's sick!
-I push her into waves now.
741
00:39:17,439 --> 00:39:18,689
-No way.
-Yeah, yeah.
742
00:39:18,690 --> 00:39:22,151
-She catches waves by herself, of course.
-That's so cool.
743
00:39:22,152 --> 00:39:24,195
But sometimes she's
like, paddling, and I...
744
00:39:24,196 --> 00:39:27,406
I just paddle harder and I
give her that extra push.
745
00:39:27,407 --> 00:39:28,991
-I love that.
-It's so funny
746
00:39:28,992 --> 00:39:32,495
because she used to do it and
now, like, I'm helping her out.
747
00:39:32,496 --> 00:39:34,663
-She still surfs good, actually. Yeah.
-Really?
748
00:39:34,664 --> 00:39:36,374
How did, like...
749
00:39:37,417 --> 00:39:39,752
you and your brother
start surfing?
750
00:39:39,753 --> 00:39:43,756
My dad opened a surf shop, and
my mom used to work at the surf shop.
751
00:39:43,757 --> 00:39:48,761
And my mom and my dad got married
when Gabriel was, like, nine.
752
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:51,639
My dad kind of introduced
surfing for Gabriel.
753
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,684
They both had, like, surfing
lifestyle, and they loved surfing,
754
00:39:55,685 --> 00:39:59,355
but they never really, like,
told us, like, "Oh, go surf."
755
00:39:59,356 --> 00:40:00,481
Or like...
756
00:40:00,482 --> 00:40:02,191
I asked for my surfboard.
757
00:40:02,192 --> 00:40:04,860
My mom wanted us to have
surfing in our lives.
758
00:40:04,861 --> 00:40:08,948
Not professionally or not something
that we would make our life out of it,
759
00:40:08,949 --> 00:40:11,033
but just like to have
surfing in our lives.
760
00:40:11,034 --> 00:40:15,037
And Gabriel just
became what he became.
761
00:40:15,038 --> 00:40:17,541
And I got inspired by that.
762
00:40:18,333 --> 00:40:21,418
I saw him winning and
I was like, "Huh!"
763
00:40:21,419 --> 00:40:24,130
-Hmm.
-"I want to win, too."
764
00:40:24,131 --> 00:40:28,634
Surfing is way more than just surfing.
Like, all the places you get to travel.
765
00:40:28,635 --> 00:40:32,263
Like, the moments you live
with, the people you love.
766
00:40:32,264 --> 00:40:33,806
You share laughs.
767
00:40:33,807 --> 00:40:35,267
Like, everything's just...
768
00:40:36,518 --> 00:40:38,853
so different than
any other sport.
769
00:40:38,854 --> 00:40:42,857
I don't know. It just
molds us as human as well.
770
00:40:42,858 --> 00:40:44,191
Super sick.
771
00:40:44,192 --> 00:40:45,360
Yeah.
772
00:41:00,959 --> 00:41:02,585
-Feel good?
-Yeah.
773
00:41:02,586 --> 00:41:05,880
Now it's time to get
things done in Brazil.
774
00:41:05,881 --> 00:41:08,549
Now the waves are different.
Have you practiced already?
775
00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:10,843
I surfed a couple
days with Jessie.
776
00:41:10,844 --> 00:41:14,805
It was good, but I know
Saquarema changes so much.
777
00:41:14,806 --> 00:41:17,183
Yeah, because it's
a tricky wave here
778
00:41:17,184 --> 00:41:19,978
and tricky beach breaks are
always tricky for us, you know?
779
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,855
But you can do
it. Just be smart.
780
00:41:22,856 --> 00:41:24,190
Well, we'll work it out.
781
00:41:24,191 --> 00:41:25,858
I'm glad you came.
782
00:41:25,859 --> 00:41:29,321
I really miss the
dad/coach relationship.
783
00:41:30,030 --> 00:41:31,822
Yeah, so I got the job again?
784
00:41:31,823 --> 00:41:33,115
-Since you fired me?
-Yes.
785
00:41:33,116 --> 00:41:35,367
No, we'll see if I
hire you again...
786
00:41:35,368 --> 00:41:37,203
...after this week.
787
00:41:37,204 --> 00:41:39,580
Since you fired me
a few years ago...
788
00:41:41,416 --> 00:41:42,918
And you were too young.
789
00:41:43,585 --> 00:41:45,836
I say something and you, "Ah!"
790
00:41:45,837 --> 00:41:47,755
Do the drama fit, no? So...
791
00:41:47,756 --> 00:41:49,089
I did drama,
792
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,550
but I'm more mature now, so...
793
00:41:51,551 --> 00:41:55,012
But if I look when
I was like 15 or 16,
794
00:41:55,013 --> 00:41:56,388
when we travelled together,
795
00:41:56,389 --> 00:42:00,601
I couldn't manage connecting
with you as a dad and a coach.
796
00:42:00,602 --> 00:42:03,354
But now, since I'm older,
797
00:42:03,355 --> 00:42:05,606
I realize those things
798
00:42:05,607 --> 00:42:07,566
really weren't a problem.
799
00:42:07,567 --> 00:42:10,194
Like, I could handle
them, you know?
800
00:42:10,195 --> 00:42:11,862
You're 21 now.
801
00:42:11,863 --> 00:42:13,656
You're not 13 anymore, so.
802
00:42:13,657 --> 00:42:16,201
Because I got to tell
you the truth, you know?
803
00:42:17,535 --> 00:42:19,411
I always tell you
to surf pretty good.
804
00:42:19,412 --> 00:42:20,955
You surf so nice.
805
00:42:20,956 --> 00:42:22,623
You have power.
806
00:42:22,624 --> 00:42:26,460
But still, you have to change a
little bit, your tactics and...
807
00:42:26,461 --> 00:42:28,171
And you're surfing
for the judges.
808
00:42:29,005 --> 00:42:30,339
Not for you.
809
00:42:30,340 --> 00:42:32,841
Judges is different. They
are waiting for the scores,
810
00:42:32,842 --> 00:42:34,386
and they want to see...
811
00:42:35,178 --> 00:42:37,179
some things that you need
to give to the judges.
812
00:42:37,180 --> 00:42:38,806
It's not like free surfing.
813
00:42:38,807 --> 00:42:40,975
So, um, yeah, we gotta...
814
00:42:40,976 --> 00:42:42,309
-Adjust?
-Adjust.
815
00:42:42,310 --> 00:42:45,604
Now you need to hear the truth,
because I don't have time to reflect.
816
00:42:45,605 --> 00:42:48,232
Sometimes I go from
one comp to another,
817
00:42:48,233 --> 00:42:50,859
and sometimes it's
hard to remind yourself
818
00:42:50,860 --> 00:42:53,487
and have someone that
knows you so much.
819
00:42:53,488 --> 00:42:54,863
So you know me very well.
820
00:42:54,864 --> 00:42:56,949
The truth is the
truth. Black and white.
821
00:42:56,950 --> 00:42:59,827
You make a heat because you did this.
You didn't make it because you did this.
822
00:42:59,828 --> 00:43:03,205
This is your mistake. You fix
this or you win or you lose.
823
00:43:03,206 --> 00:43:04,332
Easy.
824
00:43:05,250 --> 00:43:08,377
Well, I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't for you
825
00:43:08,378 --> 00:43:10,046
who told me to surf.
826
00:43:11,506 --> 00:43:12,923
So I'm very grateful
827
00:43:12,924 --> 00:43:17,261
for all your patience with me
and moments you were with me.
828
00:43:17,262 --> 00:43:21,265
And, yeah, for showing me
this new way of living,
829
00:43:21,266 --> 00:43:23,476
surfing, enjoying, competing.
830
00:43:23,935 --> 00:43:27,104
I'm very grateful for you
to have been on my way.
831
00:43:27,105 --> 00:43:28,523
It's not easy.
832
00:43:29,357 --> 00:43:31,233
But I can tell you love it.
833
00:43:31,234 --> 00:43:32,735
So keep going.
834
00:43:32,736 --> 00:43:34,820
Keep going. That's
what we're here for.
835
00:43:34,821 --> 00:43:36,697
I didn't come all this way...
836
00:43:38,241 --> 00:43:40,743
I gotta finish strong.
837
00:43:40,744 --> 00:43:42,995
Let's get to work.
838
00:43:42,996 --> 00:43:45,206
-Let's get ready.
-Get ready.
839
00:43:55,175 --> 00:43:57,509
Coming from that
ninth place in Ericeira,
840
00:43:57,510 --> 00:44:01,180
I feel like I'm in a good
spot and a good momentum,
841
00:44:01,181 --> 00:44:07,061
{\an8}and I just want to keep using that
energy from Portugal to Brazil,
842
00:44:07,062 --> 00:44:09,272
{\an8}and finish the year off strong.
843
00:44:10,607 --> 00:44:12,067
You see the bowl?
844
00:44:13,026 --> 00:44:16,904
Catch one of those,
it's more bowl-shaped.
845
00:44:16,905 --> 00:44:20,533
That's your wave, and the
one behind is even better.
846
00:44:23,620 --> 00:44:25,537
Yeah? Yeah.
847
00:44:25,538 --> 00:44:27,623
Good luck. I'll stay here.
848
00:44:27,624 --> 00:44:28,833
Right here.
849
00:44:29,626 --> 00:44:31,710
Right here. Look.
850
00:44:31,711 --> 00:44:34,380
I'm here for a reason,
and I want to be the best
851
00:44:34,381 --> 00:44:36,549
and I want to keep
going as much as I can.
852
00:44:39,344 --> 00:44:41,512
Opening rounds
for the women out in the water.
853
00:44:41,513 --> 00:44:44,015
{\an8}Sol Aguirre, Nanaho Tsuzuki,
854
00:44:45,058 --> 00:44:46,850
{\an8}Vera Jarisz,
855
00:44:46,851 --> 00:44:49,937
{\an8}and Malia Moana Lima.
856
00:44:51,314 --> 00:44:52,689
Here we go.
857
00:44:52,690 --> 00:44:55,359
And this is gonna be the start
here for our Japanese competitor,
858
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:56,861
who is Nanaho Tsuzuki.
859
00:44:57,946 --> 00:45:00,155
Sharp first turn for Nanaho.
860
00:45:00,156 --> 00:45:01,532
Oh!
861
00:45:01,533 --> 00:45:05,035
Combos it up. Big
smile on Nanaho Tsuzuki's face.
862
00:45:05,036 --> 00:45:09,623
And she gained a 6.67
on her first effort.
863
00:45:09,624 --> 00:45:11,708
Malia Moana Lima.
864
00:45:11,709 --> 00:45:16,380
And just some sticky rails right
there from the surfer from Kauai
865
00:45:16,381 --> 00:45:20,176
in her first Challenger Series
event here in Saquarema.
866
00:45:20,885 --> 00:45:23,388
No waves ridden by Sol Aguirre.
867
00:45:24,180 --> 00:45:25,556
It's coming, pay attention.
868
00:45:25,557 --> 00:45:27,474
Nearing the
halfway point of this heat.
869
00:45:27,475 --> 00:45:29,977
Sol hasn't caught a wave
yet, which I'm really surprised about.
870
00:45:29,978 --> 00:45:32,312
She's usually a
very quick starter.
871
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,607
Traveling with her father, German,
who's a former pro from Peru as well.
872
00:45:35,608 --> 00:45:36,775
And 17 minutes to go.
873
00:45:36,776 --> 00:45:40,613
She's been successful in the past year,
but wants to get things going soon.
874
00:45:41,948 --> 00:45:43,575
{\an8}And here goes Sol.
875
00:45:45,285 --> 00:45:48,245
{\an8}Banks off the top. She's
gonna rely on a single turn
876
00:45:48,246 --> 00:45:49,997
for her opening score.
877
00:45:49,998 --> 00:45:51,707
She needs a good one.
878
00:45:51,708 --> 00:45:53,625
So Sol opening
up with a four-point ride.
879
00:45:53,626 --> 00:45:54,627
Just checked in.
880
00:45:58,798 --> 00:46:01,675
Vera Jarisz on the backhand.
881
00:46:01,676 --> 00:46:04,720
Couple of taps on the back,
and goes complete there.
882
00:46:04,721 --> 00:46:07,139
So that's gonna help her
effort. Already has a 4.33.
883
00:46:07,140 --> 00:46:08,891
Sol Aguirre behind her.
884
00:46:08,892 --> 00:46:11,435
Sol lining up this inside.
885
00:46:11,436 --> 00:46:13,145
We know she's got
a vicious lay back,
886
00:46:13,146 --> 00:46:15,314
-but... Ah, mistimed that.-Yes, she does.
887
00:46:15,315 --> 00:46:18,150
And unfortunately for her,
that wave just not offering up
888
00:46:18,151 --> 00:46:19,485
a lot of scoring potential.
889
00:46:19,486 --> 00:46:20,569
It's gonna be a throwaway.
890
00:46:20,570 --> 00:46:22,113
Come on.
891
00:46:27,327 --> 00:46:28,578
{\an8}Here's Vera.
892
00:46:29,829 --> 00:46:32,080
Currently second. Oh,
nice timing on that one.
893
00:46:32,081 --> 00:46:33,832
And a finish.
894
00:46:33,833 --> 00:46:36,043
So that's really
good for her cause.
895
00:46:36,044 --> 00:46:38,545
She's gonna ditch that 3.17
she has on her score line
896
00:46:38,546 --> 00:46:41,256
and increase her margin
over Sol Aguirre.
897
00:46:41,257 --> 00:46:43,967
And there she is. I mean,
she's a smart com pet...
898
00:46:43,968 --> 00:46:47,179
And look it, she's not rattled at all.
Almost with a little grin on her face.
899
00:46:47,180 --> 00:46:48,723
Go there!
900
00:46:50,642 --> 00:46:54,436
Vera and Sol very close,
but it's gonna be decision time.
901
00:46:54,437 --> 00:46:57,147
If there's multiple waves in a
set, there's enough for two waves
902
00:46:57,148 --> 00:46:58,690
to hit the sandbank right now.
903
00:46:58,691 --> 00:47:00,067
Here we go. On the move.
904
00:47:00,068 --> 00:47:02,403
Sol Aguirre is gonna
force the issue.
905
00:47:02,987 --> 00:47:04,948
And Vera's gonna
use her priority.
906
00:47:05,823 --> 00:47:07,407
All right, so that got done.
907
00:47:07,408 --> 00:47:11,036
Now, Sol just needs to catch
a wave in the next 20 seconds
908
00:47:11,037 --> 00:47:12,580
and surf for a mid-range score.
909
00:47:13,164 --> 00:47:15,792
Get in! Damn.
910
00:47:18,419 --> 00:47:20,003
Oh, one more.
911
00:47:20,004 --> 00:47:22,756
I mean, she might be able
to get into this in time.
912
00:47:22,757 --> 00:47:24,841
Yeah,
she's gonna have time.
913
00:47:24,842 --> 00:47:27,844
It's just that if this
wave will have shape.
914
00:47:27,845 --> 00:47:30,264
Looks like it's doubling
up on the inside here.
915
00:47:30,265 --> 00:47:32,975
It's gonna be a
struggle. There she goes.
916
00:47:32,976 --> 00:47:34,518
Sol Aguirre.
917
00:47:34,519 --> 00:47:35,770
And...
918
00:47:39,524 --> 00:47:41,234
finally finds open face.
919
00:47:41,901 --> 00:47:43,986
Pretty vicious snap there.
920
00:47:43,987 --> 00:47:47,239
But had a lot of downtime
to get into that open face.
921
00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:48,991
You could
just see when she set up,
922
00:47:48,992 --> 00:47:51,743
there were already probably
many different emotions
923
00:47:51,744 --> 00:47:53,579
coming down on her right there.
924
00:47:53,580 --> 00:47:56,498
And, you know, outside of
qualifying for the Olympics...
925
00:47:56,499 --> 00:47:58,000
the ninth place finish in there.
926
00:47:58,001 --> 00:48:00,794
To say that this has been, you know,
by her standards a year that she...
927
00:48:00,795 --> 00:48:03,797
-Tough year.-Doesn't want to remember.
928
00:48:03,798 --> 00:48:06,216
She wants to forget about
it and look towards 2025.
929
00:48:06,217 --> 00:48:10,512
Sol Aguirre and Malia
Lima eliminated from competition.
930
00:48:18,438 --> 00:48:19,939
I don't know what to say.
931
00:48:20,982 --> 00:48:22,899
All I know is I don't
want to feel bad
932
00:48:22,900 --> 00:48:27,279
because I gave everything,
and the waves during...
933
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,949
Didn't cooperate so much.
934
00:48:45,798 --> 00:48:47,800
I don't know what I...
935
00:48:48,968 --> 00:48:50,136
I don't know.
936
00:48:50,928 --> 00:48:53,263
I did my best, and
that's all I can say.
937
00:48:53,264 --> 00:48:56,309
Like, I'm happy with how it turned
out, even though I didn't...
938
00:48:57,352 --> 00:48:58,352
advance...
939
00:48:59,062 --> 00:49:00,562
my year has been amazing.
940
00:49:00,563 --> 00:49:04,816
And, yeah, nothing
can define me,
941
00:49:04,817 --> 00:49:08,779
so I'm just gonna
keep moving forward
942
00:49:08,780 --> 00:49:11,199
and just enjoy surfing.
943
00:49:12,241 --> 00:49:14,534
I think I've done good enough,
944
00:49:14,535 --> 00:49:17,246
and I just have
time to relax now.
945
00:49:27,048 --> 00:49:29,424
Welcome back
to the Corona Saquarema Pro.
946
00:49:29,425 --> 00:49:31,510
Big round out there for
the women right now.
947
00:49:31,511 --> 00:49:33,054
It's the round of 32.
948
00:49:33,930 --> 00:49:36,264
It's been a tough
year for me competitively,
949
00:49:36,265 --> 00:49:38,141
but I've finally
hit a turning point.
950
00:49:38,142 --> 00:49:40,143
I'm not letting
anything get in the way
951
00:49:40,144 --> 00:49:41,896
for me to make it to the top.
952
00:49:45,066 --> 00:49:46,608
I feel
like the last few events
953
00:49:46,609 --> 00:49:49,404
I've been surfing more like
myself, and it feels really good.
954
00:49:50,154 --> 00:49:52,739
This is the last event of
the season to prove to myself
955
00:49:52,740 --> 00:49:55,201
that I can make it to
the Championship Tour.
956
00:49:57,495 --> 00:49:59,413
I need to
make it to the top ten.
957
00:49:59,414 --> 00:50:03,750
If I don't, I won't be able to qualify
for the Challenger Series next year,
958
00:50:03,751 --> 00:50:06,753
and all the career momentum
that I worked so hard for
959
00:50:06,754 --> 00:50:07,921
will stop.
960
00:50:09,298 --> 00:50:11,049
I don't
know who's more nervous,
961
00:50:11,050 --> 00:50:12,634
whether it's Sophia or Charlie.
962
00:50:12,635 --> 00:50:14,220
But he does seem
a bit concerned.
