The surfer KEELY ANDREW(AUS)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Australian surfer K. Andrew(AUS)entered in the elite of Surfing in 2015, and is always in good shape for the competitions, overcame the Top surfers of California: Sage Erickson(USA)and Courtney Conlogue(USA)and did her first FINAL in the Tour.

I would like to point out that  K. Andrew(AUS) in 2015 when  I prepared some "WAX" to give to the surfers, after the competitions  .So after the event was over, I asked her for a picture and she promptly  holded the "WAX" of my blog of surfing and  and I took the photo and posted on the blog. I had a good memory, I never forget the things that happened...

She is also nice with everybody on the shore.

So I got so happy for her performance on the waters of California, her first podium., maybe soon will come more, let's wait for...

The surfer SILVANA LIMA(BRA)

I already knew S. Lima(BRA)in my first event in 2011, in Rio de Janeiro, after the tour moved from Imbituba, Santa Catarina...The surfer of Ceará, is so nice girl, always simpatic, and high "astral" - easygoing with  everybody on the shore.

In the summer of 2015 I live in Barra da Tjuca, and sometimes I met S. Lima(BRA)and she was so nice...

When I asked her for a photo for my blog, she always attended me so  well, with great "smile", and also is so nice with everybody, the fans, the athletes, the water patrol, she treats everybody so well, I like her profile...

For sure this was a nice FINAL in California, I wish to be there, maybe next year.!!!
