Still wasnot in Portugal that Gabriel Medina clinched the World Bichampionship of Surfing.

The preparation to the Final stage

The last stage of CT - that will decide the World Champion if Gabriel Medina does not win in Portugal  - will be performed from 8th to 20th of December in Pipeline, in the island of Oahu, in Hawaii. It is one of the waves more fearly of the World, with many variations: may break a small tube right or even a big left. If the Wind would be offshore is perfect, because is easier so much for surfing and catch the tubes that Pipe offers. But if would be strong from the North, entering of side and with everything shaking, mainly in the Sea would be big - the waves become in fact, ferocious, huge, monstrous. I already had the opportunity of watching a Final of Pipeline so.
It is so difficult to surf, to know how to choose the right wave. There are very few surfers that know how to manage with this situation, only the more tough and experienced.

There will be a moment of much pressure and adrenaline to them that have chance of title. It is importante that competitors are very well prepared both physically and psychologically. There will be about six weeks of break between Portugal and Hawaii, a good time for this. It is importante to arrive earlier in Pipeline, to ride waves, try surfboards for all the possibilities of surfing, as the Sea of there may break from three  to 15 feet with rights and lefts. Without say that some may break in Surf sessions. Other importante aspect is the athlete should be respected by local surfers, have a good relationship with the Hawaiians because only on this way they may train in tranquility. This is a privilege of few because the competition is incredible. Some surfers stay hours to ride a perfect wave in Pipe on a crowded day.

The surf is so professional nowadays that all athletes have their personal trainers and coaches, that do evalutions, film and coment their performance on the water, giving tips about which surfboard worked better, constructive comments to get better the results. Many athletes do yoga for relaxing, have more concentration, and flexibility. The food is also very important: a nutritionist  may advise what is ideal to ingest in the train and on the day of competition.


Good luck to competitors! That Brazil keeps shining and brings one more World Title!
Aloha and good waves!

LAY DAY WITH THE FRIEND

PENICHE, PORTUGAL

Released by PSG after the unofficial games of the Brazilian Team, Neymar does not face the Amiens of Paulo Henrique Ganso on Saturday, by French championship. The Jersey '10'  should enjoy the day off to follow with the "friend" Gabriel Medina, that disputes the stage of Peniche, o World Circuit of Surfing.

Neymar arrived yesterday to Portugues city, by private jet, and followed up the heats of the day in the VIP area, what should repeat today.

While this, the Spanish press does not stop to speculate about the possible back of  Neymar to Barcelona. According to the radio "Cadena Ser", he did an agrément with the PSG; as in France the contracts does not have termination fine will be establish values to release him of unilateral form,
decreasing over the years. To leave in June of 2019, the player should refund to the club PSG 220 million of Euros (R$ 943,4 million)

Only two Brazilians in the fight

With the cheer of Neymar, Gabriel Medina won his heat yesterday, against the Tahitian Michel Bourez and the Portuguese Frederico Morais and guaranteed himself in th Quarterfinal of the stage of Peniche, with chance of conquering the title of the season already in Peniche.

-The waves were not easy, but I was happy to go ahead. I am with my friends, my Family, Neymar came.It is nice to have him here. - said the Brazilian, that may clinch the World Bichampionship in this stage if he reaches the title of Peniche and the Australian Julian Wilson do not arrive in the Semifinals.
