PLAYA DE PANTIN, Galicia - Spain and Coco Ho of Hawaii

PLAYA DE PANTIN, Galicia - Spain and Coco Ho of Hawaii

Date: 2018-09-07

PLAYA DE PANTIN, Galicia - Spain and Coco Ho of Hawaii and Weslley Dantas from Brazil have won the Pull&Bear Pantin Classic Galicia Pro in the Final bouts against Sage Erickson (USA) and Carlos Munoz (CRI), in pumping four-to-six foot surf in Pantin.

Stop No. 10 of 12 on the 2018 World Surf League (WSL) European Qualifying Series (QS), the Pull&Bear Pantin Classic Galicia Pro, alternated between small and solid surf every day, culminating with the crowning of the 2018 Champions in solid but slow Galician conditions.

The women's final carried much more importance points-wise in the qualifying campaigns of surfers and hit the water first. The 2012 & 2016 champion Sage Erickson (USA) took on the defending champion in Pantin Coco Ho (HAW) and produced a dream final. Erickson got two below-average scores early on, and considering the conditions, put a relative pressure on Ho.

Ho found a smaller wave with only two minutes on the clock and applied two surgical turns on her backhand to post a buzzer-beater 6.13 and take back-to-back wins in Pantin.

The men's final on the other had two first-time finalists in Pantin, Weslley Dantas (BRA) and Carlos Munoz (CRI). Dantas stuck to his air-game at first, opting to surf smaller waves in the wind to throw the forehand rotation he's got on lock. Munoz adopted the same attitude but the gale-force offshores kept blowing both surfers' boards away and the Final stayed a low-scoring affair. Dantas found a good left on the inside and stayed on his board this time, locking in three decent turns for a 4.87 to extend his lead. Munoz' few attempts were unsuccessful and Dantas walked away with the win and a heat total barely over his single best wave of the heat prior.
