Dave Hubbard won the DK division and was crowned for the 4th time world champion. With 3 wins in 3 events, Dave had a 100% achievement this year. “I’m really happy to win all the 3 events that the DK division had. This was a very favorable year for the DK and I think that the division is gaining strength once more.” Said the champ
With small 3 feet waves, Jessica Becker won her 3rd event of the year (the others where Sopelana, Buzios and Isla de Margarita) and now goes to Canary Island very motivated. “I’m stoked to win in Isla. This is my second win here in Isla but this is more important than last year since I’m current in 3rd position and I have real chances of a world title. Now my goal is the last event of the year at Confital”.Jéssica defeated on the final, the 2007 vice world champion Maylla Venturin from Brazil.
Catarina Souza from Portugal, showed was really consistence throughout the entire competition and was only stopped by the Champion of the event, Jessica.
