El Confital(Canary Islands) Pro

    Anyone watching the El Confital(Canary Islands) Pro via live webcast?
    http://www.confitalibatour.com/live.html

    Stoked the viewing is so sharp this time but bummed the waves aren't firing big for them, like the last few days! But I guess that's what makes them such awesome, versatile Pro riders is their perseverance in all types of conditions--even the small, slow waves.

    Ladies are up right now--
    Kira LLEWELLYN(AUST): placed 1st & Carolina CAMISON(BRZ): 2nd in their heat.
    Lilly POLLARD(AUST) & Natasha SAGARDIA(PRCO) up now.


    Can't wait to see Mark McCarthy, Dave Hubbard and Mike Stewart later in their respective heats!
    Hope the swell picks up for the finals!

    ALL THE BEST TO YOU GUYS AND THANKS FOR MAKING US AMPED AND PROUD! :lol:

    I would fine that guy who just paddled out!...lol!

    Yeah i've been pretty close, just felt they scored reds roll too highly...

    Should have been 6.0 most 6.5...cos she rolled off the foam and got caught in the white wash for a long time.

    Still the best move so far tho...
  • ElementreeElementree
    December 2007
    Shame...no more rides for white after reds roll.

    Ah well you can't win em all!

    The video does not work for me on Firefox so I tried IE which is fine - so give that a go if you're also using FF.

    I have sent feedback to the contest organisors.

    Womens quarter finals are just in the water - Mandy Zieren won the first QF heat quite comfortably with just one wave.

    If you can't get the video to work on the web page then launch Windows Media Player and in the file menu choose "Open URL" and put in:

  • ChilternburtChilternburt
    December 2007
    yea same, myself and my mate both lost video... grr and it must have been a bomb!
  • MichelleDaniels
    December 2007
    CONGRATULATIONS MARK!! YES! WOOHOO!
    That had to be one of the most intense heats I have ever LISTENED to! Unfortunately I lost video feed after the first few runs--tried the different link and still none-- so had to rely on the Portugese or Spanish announcer's interpretation. When I heard the excitement in his voice nearing the end, I had a good vibe it was Mark! YES! I about fell out of my chair! Hahah! So amped and so stoked for you bru, to hear MARK McCARTHY moved up into first position at the end!!

    **Billy, wish you were still here to share that enthusiam/excitement with--HAHAHAH! I KNOW how you get as well! Good times. :lol:
  • KellyKelly

    ... just got hit up by Mac on Skype --- lol. He only left the water a few minutes ago .... that contest must be so set-up. Anyway asked him about the last wave ...

    Anyway, nice one bru ... and see you all back here tomorrow I guess.

  • MichelleDaniels
    December 2007
    Hey Mark--just got back from 3 hours at therapy and bummed I missed the last of the excitement! But Mark, you have put on an incredible performance this year, hey and defintely a year you can be proud of. Been watching you since last January, in the Maui Ledges Comp. So stoked for you! It was obvious you made a positive impression on the El Confital Competition crowd and announcer's as well--they had so much good to say about you and appeared very gracious you were in attendance. You make your fan's proud and I'm sure SA is stoked for you as well. All the best to you as you continue in your endeavors. :D

    Mens Final now in the water...
  • ElementreeElementree
    December 2007
    Uri Valadao...seconds in...busts a big backflip & rolls...scores a 9.0

    Ben Player has his work cut out for him...looks to be a great final
  • ElementreeElementree
    December 2007
    Scores as they stand...with under 10 mins remaining.

    Ben... 6.0 and 5.50

    Uri...9.0 and 8.0...
  • ElementreeElementree
    December 2007
    Uri is killing it!

    Set wave...rolls, phat barrel and does a near perfect backflip out of the barrel!

    Scores a 9.5

    His two scores are now 9.5 & 9.0.

    One can pretty much say that besides a miracle...Ben is going to finish in second place.

    Well done Uri!
  • ch4os_
    December 2007
    That backflip was MAD
  • ElementreeElementree
    December 2007
    Oh my word...

    Uri just had the same combo on a smaller wave...

    First a roll, followed by a barrel, then backflipped out of it!

    Scored a 6.85...

    Final result...Uri Valadao wins the 2007 El Confital Pro, Ben Player second!
  • Ian
    December 2007
    sheesh! ben got owned in that final!
    i do think ben was abit underscored for his first wave...still, woudnt have changed the outcome!
