Finally!!After five days of postponements, the Sea gave signal of life in Trestles, in Califórnia, e permitted yesterday the beginning of the eighth stage of World Circuit of Surfing.
The waves were small, but were good enough to Filipe Toledo to show that he is not for kidding. With his usual talent in aerials manuevers, the Brazilian scored 9.43 and 8.17 e had the best average of the Round 1, with 17.60 points.

I felt myself very comfortable of being here. It is  very good to be at home, to surf in Lower (Trestles)and be able to go sleep in my own bed after - said Filipinho, that lives with the family in San Clemente, próximo to Trestles: - It is a motivation very big to reach a good result here.Besides the number 9 of Ranking, two Brazilians debuted with victory. Adriano de Souza, nowadays the sixth of the World, won the opening heat of the day, against  the compatriots Wiggoly Dantas(BRA) and Miguel Pupo(BRA),adding 14.50 points. The number 7 of Ranking, Gabriel Medina(BRA)scored 13.67 points and overcame the American Nat Young(USA) and the Australian Adrian Buchan(AUS).

-I want to surf better. I feel that make some erros, but is always good to be the first in the first heat. I just want to surf well, reach high scores and give my maximum - said Medina.

The others six brazilians in the CT(Wiggolly, Pupo, Jadson André, Caio Ibelli, Italo Ferreira and Ian Gouveia)went to the Recap. The forecast is of small waves during all the window  of the event, that has deadline till Sunday to be finished. The organization, however, wants to finish the Men's stage..-The CT of Trestles has also an event of the women's- till Friday.
-The Sea is small, so you have to be pacient. I wait that the things getting better -analise Medina
