Last week Friday I flew to Barcelona with the Darwin family for Spanish Boat Nationals. The contest site was about a 2 hour drive from Barcelona, close to Lleida. It was super windy and the water was choppy when we arrived. The boat wasn't in the water yet so we went into the little town and found a place to eat lunch. After lunch we went back to the lake and couple of us went out on the boat for a practice ride. After practice we headed back to our hotel for dinner.
We were up early for breakfast on Saturday morning. We then made our way to the lake. Qualifiers as well as finals were held on Saturday. The water was glassy when we arrived and managed to stay pretty flat all day. Marcus was first up in the boys division. He wasn't very happy with his qualifiers run but managed to step it up in the finals and claimed a 2nd place overall! I competed in Open Ladies and came 1st in qualifiers which meant I got to go last off the dock for finals. I managed to get 1st place but couldn't claim the title becauseI am not from Spain. I didn't land everything I wanted to, but was still happy with my run :) Jordan killed Open Men qualifiers! During wakeskate finals- right before wakeboard finals- he fell and injured his leg. Lucky enough, he still managed to ride like a boss and win Open Men! He also got 3rd plan in Open Men wakeskate.
On Sunday morning we packed and then headed to OCP in Barcelona. Marcus and I had a quick little shred before we had to go to the airport. Jordan and Alan flew to Poland for European and African champs and Suzy, Marcus and I flew back to Marbella.
