The youngest surfers stepped into the spotlight at the Spring Surfest Las Américas Pro. The final event of the festival, the Eurokids, began this Saturday with more than 100 participants from across Europe arriving in Tenerife to compete on the renowned left of Las Palmeras.
In a long day of competition, with more than eight hours of action, the Under-14 surfers were the first to test the Spanish Left. Tenerife-based Italian Stefano Mandozzi (15.90) and Poland’s Niko Fleiss (17.00) signed the highest combined scores in the early rounds. Among the girls, Nadia Nalesso (16.25) impressed once again as she aims to add the U14 title to the U16 and U18 crowns won earlier this week.
In the Under-12 division, Niko Fleiss (15.25) maintained his strong momentum, joined at the top by Germany’s Levi Hummel (14.00) and France’s Kyan Picon (13.45), son of recently crowned European Masters runner-up Miky Picon. In the girls’ field, England’s Betsie Reay (11.85) and Martha Edwards (11.00) stood out in the opening round.
The Under-10 surfers, the youngest in the festival, competed at the left of El Centro, where Wales’ Monty Cole (17.83) and Spain’s Mateo Sanmartín (13.50) dominated both their heats and secured places in tomorrow’s final. The girls’ division will be decided in a direct final featuring Kaleia Peres, María de Brito, Adriana Gutiérrez, Eva Rico, and Penélope Pizzo.
The Spring Surfest Las Américas Pro will conclude tomorrow, conditions permitting, along with its final musical programme: a Corona Sunset Session from 18:00 featuring Sistah Vibes and Juana La Cubana.
This event would not be possible without the support of institutions such as Turismo de Arona; the Cabildo, through Turismo de Tenerife and the Tenerife Awaken Emotions brand; Islas Canarias and the Gobierno de Canarias; as well as brands like Spring Hotels and Corona, and collaborating companies such as Surfactory, Local Motion, Quirónsalud, Papagayo Tenerife and Veinte 04.
