A VI e última Etapa do Campeonato da Europa de Longboard, integrada na III Edição do Estoril Surf Festival, será nos dias 13 e 14 de Dezembro, onde os melhores surfistas europeus marcarão presença naquele que é considerado um dos melhores spots nacionais para a prática da modalidade.
Durante dois dias os melhores surfistas da Europa estarão na praia de São Pedro do Estoril, para disputar a sexta e última etapa do European Longboard Tour (ELT). Um circuito que vai na sua segunda edição sob a égide da European Surfing Federation (ESF). Esta etapa de quatro estrelas, é a mais importante das seis que compõem o calendário, pois atribuirá o título de Campeão do ELT.
Com um total de premiação de 5.000 euros, a mais antiga instituição de surf do país, volta a montar na sua praia um grande evento internacional, numa onda considerada de qualidade internacional para a prática da modalidade. Foi esta onda que no ano passado coroou o britânico Ben Skinner como o primeiro Campeão do Circuito Europeu de Longboard, com uma impressionante onda de 10 pontos, nota máxima na escala de avaliação.
- II Etapa do Campeonato Nacional de Longboard nos dias 13 e 14 de Dezembro, os melhores surfistas nacionais como Miguel Ruivo, Bruno Grandela, Luís “Lufi” Bento ou Diogo Gonçalves disputarão o título de Campeão Nacional de Longboard, e terão a oportunidade de medir forças com os melhores atletas europeus como Romain Maurin (FRA), Eduardo Bage (BRA), Ben Skinner (BRI) ou o actual Vice-Campeão Mundial de Longboard, Antoine Delpero (FRA).
“O circuito Europeu de Longboard volta a terminar na praia de S. Pedro, facto que será de grande importância para a divulgação da modalidade”, refere João Ferreira, Presidente do SCP. “Este foi um ano muito importante para o Surfing Clube de Portugal, onde comemoramos 30 anos de existência, consolidámos o Estoril Surf Festival, e onde alavancámos o sonho de ter uma etapa do Circuito Mundial de Longboard em S. Pedro. Durante esta edição do Estoril Surf Festival, vamos apresentar muitas surpresas, e o SCP continuará a deixar a sua marca em termos desportivos e sociais na região”, salienta o responsável pelo SCP.
ERRATA da notíca: Ao contrário que a notícia relata, os longboarders LUFI e Bruno Grandela, NÃO podem revalidar nenhum dos títulos já alcançados pelos mesmos, na medida em que de acordo com o Ranking Português não figuram, pelo que não entram na luta pela conquista.

5 - 9 November 2008

Top Seeds Shine on Day 1 of Oxbow World Longboard Tour
San Onofre -- The Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Longboard Tour (WLT) saw top seeds Harley Ingleby (AUS), 25, Antoine Delpero (FRA), 23, and Bonga Perkins (HAW), 36, standout on the opening day of the Oxbow World Longboard Tour event in peaky two-to-three foot (1 metre) surf at San Onofre State Beach today.
The Oxbow World Longboard Tour event is a new addition to the ASP WLT, allowing the globe’s finest longboarding competitors a chance to earn the title of Oxbow World Longboard Tour and ASP World Longboard champion by the event’s end.
The first event of the ASP WLT saw Harley Ingleby (AUS), 25, win the Oxbow World Longboard Tour contest at Les Cavalliers in Anglet, France and the current ratings leader picked up where he left off by jumping out to an early lead in his Round 1 heat at San Onofre State Beach today. Ingleby made the best of the inconsistent conditions caused by the high tide and posted two solid scores on the way to his heat victory.
“It was pretty tough and I think the tide is hitting the high so it was really inconsistent,” Ingleby said. “I was just lucky that I got a bigger one right off the bat so I could relax a bit and the other guys were sort of scratching to get their first waves.” The heat victory moves Ingleby one step closer to the coveted ASP World Longboard Champion title, but the young Australian is trying to approach this event as he would any other contest.

“I’m trying not to think about it too much and just surf as if it’s any other contest and get as far as I can,” Ingleby said. “A lot of the boys have asked me if I’ve counted up the points and all that and honestly I haven’t really looked. I’m just trying to not really look at it.”
Perkins proved his surfing ability stretches far beyond the heavy waves he’s familiar with at home on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii by posting one of the day’s highest single wave scores of a near-perfect 9.10 out of a possible 10 in the small, peaky surf on offer in his opening heat.
“There are pretty soft waves out there, really peaky, and nothing was really linking up for me, but all you need is one,” Perkins said. “I’m happy to get that one and get the cobwebs out.” Perkins started the wave off with a huge forehand blast and followed up with several powerful carves to earn the impressive score.
“I didn’t know that the judges were going to give me that high of a score,” Perkins said. “I just wanted to get that big hit on the outside. I know that the judges are looking for the outside maneuvers especially when there are not many sets coming through. Luckily I got that one big hit on the outside and followed it up with some one the inside.”

Matthew Moir (ZAF), 31, who is currently rated fifth on the ASP WLT, was also a standout in Round 1 today, earning the day’s highest heat total of 17.15 out of a possible 20 and advanced confidently into Round 3 over longtime competitor Alex Salazar (BRA) and Brad Vetter (USA). The stylish longboarder found the wave needed to claim his Round 1 win in the remaining minutes of his heat and was thrilled with the result.
“Alex (Salazar) has always been a long time competitor and I’ve never actually beaten him, so I was amping for it,” Moir said. “The waves came through and I was a little bit nervous on that first one and I got quite a good score and I tried to get a few inside ones and it went flat. All of a sudden that one came through at the end and I got a good score, so I’m stoked on that one.”
The innovative goofy-footer combined several progressive maneuvers with classic nose riding to dominate his opening heat. It was obvious that Moir felt right at home at San Onofre State Beach today, as Moir claims that the famed cobblestone reef-break reminds him of his local surf spot in South Africa.
“It’s very similar to what I ride back home,” Moir said. “I’ve been here a couple of times, so If you get the right one that actually links up it’s a good wave. You can do a lot of modern maneuvers and a lot of old school nose riding, so at least you can do a whole variety and it’s really good for longboarding.”

Current ASP WLT No. 2, Delpero, advanced directly into Round 3 of the Oxbow World Longboard Tour event as well. The young French talent made the best of a wave starved heat and is satisfied about his Round 3 berth. “There were not enough waves in that heat,” Delpero said. “It was just peaks and no wall so it was difficult to make some turns, but it’s good, I got first so I’m into the next round.”
Delpero, who was the runner-up to Ingleby at the Oxbow World Longboard Tour event in Anglet, France, is in contention to take the 2008 ASP WLT title from the hungry Australian with a strong enough result here at San Onofre State Beach.
“It would be perfect, but we’re going to see, you never know,” Delpero said. “I hope we have some good waves and I will do my best.” The Oxbow World Longboard Tour at San Onofre State Beach will reconvene tomorrow with Round 2.
