VQS LAVAFISH 2011-2012

According to the locals, this winter has not been such a good one, but suddenly the Volcom VQS Lavafish arrives and everything changes. The forecast was good. And the expected swell arrived just in time in "El Roquete" spot.

Waves were chest high but rolling perfectly on the reef and we run the first Open heats on the outside righthander "La Bajeta" where the swell hit with more size.

The Squids category was a highlight during the day. Kids and parents always enjoy that one. Airam De Juan won and Joel did a good job as well.

The groms and squids were frothing around all day.As always the squids prize presentation got everyone psyched.
In the Groms division the kids were surfing and competing fiercely. Canary surfing future is in good hands. Diego Suarez beat Yael Peña in a very tight and good final. The Juniors surfed as strong as the Opens. Kai Garcia lost in the early rounds and at in the end Ivan got first ahead of Javier Ascanio and Saúl. Luca got 4th but his smile was bigger than the other´s and showed up at the prize ceremony all fancy dressed up (it's carnival times).

Alexander Zirke won the Electric´s Volt Thrower prize with his demo of modern surfing. Pro-am final was very disputed while the waves were still rolling perfectly on El Roquete left just under the beautiful sunset. Finally Alejandro Díaz took the win and grabbed the 400 € everything seen by the infamous Teide.
