Messinas and McGonagle won the 3000 points of Barbados
In a historic Latin American performance, the Peruvian and the Costa Rican won. Miguel Tudela shone again and placed third
The lefts at Drill Hall Beach did justice to the impressive backside of Peruvian Lucca Mesinas, who just won, today Saturday, the Barbados Pro, a 3000-point event of the qualifying series (QS).
"There is no better feeling than winning after so much training and effort. The time has come to win my first QS. Work hard and triumphs will always come," the Peruvian wrote on his social networks.
Meanwhile, the resemblance to Pavones on this left in Barbados was key for Costa Rican Leilani McGonagle to win the second QS of her career.
"I have no words to explain what I feel right now," Leilani said after winning. The Costa Rican dedicated her victory to Barbadian surfer Zander Venzia, who tragically lost his life last year while surfing on the island.
This victory is by far the most important of the lives of the two surfers.
On the other hand, Miguel Tudela, who had just finished on the podium in Martinique, did the same and finished third again, adding 1680 points that put him in the top 10 of the QS.
