Results of the 2006 Tico Travel Costa Rica Jr ProAm

The 2006 Tico Travel Jr Pro/Am went off to a great start. Friday was the beginning of our 10 day week which had the biggest swell of the year arrive with us. Overhead sets bombing all spots where on fire. It was too big behind the host hotel Jaco Beach Best Western for the free surfing so most ventured off to other rideable spots such as Escondido, Hermosa and Agujas and the Island all which were at their best.



Shea Lopez and Peter Mendia were doing tow-ins on the outer reefs on reportedly 35-40 foot faces.



Everyone had five days to warm up before for the contest which started on Thursday. We also went on an offshore fishing trip on one of the Pangas. We caught 15 Mahi Mahi in 4 hours and brought back to the hotel, Roray Kam's8217;s wife Ui cooked up the fish for the entire crew. The swell dropped as the contest drew closer but the conditions and form got much better. To make it short, by the time the swell came for the contest we had perfect stomach to overhead peaks. Mother nature provided us with some of the most perfect waves for a contest. Everyone was stoked! We had the top 15 pro/am surfers in Costa Rica plus surfers from Brazil, California and the East Coast to make up a field of over 36 just for the first round of the Jr Pro division. The were also a large amount of participants in the Amateur Long and Shortboard divisions
