    Delpero Fires For Opening Day of Oxbow WLT pres. by Orange    > Francaise ci-dessous

    Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 5 May, 2008 : - - Anglet - - The Oxbow WLT pres. by Orange, first stop of two on the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Longboard Tour (WLT), got underway today at Les Cavaliers in Anglet, France. Clean two foot (0.5 meter) waves allowed four heats of Round 1 to take place, the high tide making the waves uncontestable by the beginning of the afternoon.

    Antoine Delperro (FRA), 23, was the man of the day at Les Cavaliers and advanced to Round 3 with the best result of the day, an excellent 16.90 point out of possible 20. Delperro, who bested fellow French Basque surfer Timothee Creignou (FRA) and Eugene Teal (JPN), brought a full repertoire of maneuvers today using his nine foot board at its most.

    “It is just the best start I could hope for,” Delpero said. “I got the wave of the day right after the hooter sounded and it made my heat until the end. It is perfect for my confidence and I felt really good out there.” Delperro, who placed 5th last year here at Les Cavaliers, was in top form for his opening heat in the event and will now have at least a day break before facing his Round 3 opponent.

    “I hope I can keep going like that later this week,” Delpero said. “I have been really busy this winter preparing my coach degree so I haven’t been training a lot. I have excellent boards from Alain Minvielle and I am super stoked to get this good start.”

    Ben Skinner (GBR), longtime top European longboarder, was one of today’s standouts when he posted the second best heat score of the day with a 15.50 point tally (out of possible 20). Skinner, who bested former ASP World Longboard Champion Taylor Jensen, avoided Round 2 – the sudden death round – and advanced through to Round 3 today.

    “Just stoked to make this heat,” Skinner said. “Taylor (Jensen) is one of my favorite surfers and to finish ahead of him is really what I could hope best. I was a little sick this morning but I am really happy with that heat.” Skinner, 23, posted an excellent 8.25 point ride in the tricky small conditions to secure his Round 3 spot.

    “The waves were really tough out there and I just tried to make most out of these two foot waves and it worked out well for me. I am just stoked to see how longboarding is back with these two events this year, and I want to thank Oxbow for all their comitment in the sport.”

    Four heats only ran today and Matthew Moir (ZAF) and Jackson Close (AUS) were the two other heat winners. Michel Demont (PYF), reigning ASP European Longboard Champion, ended last of Heat 1 and will have to get through Round 2 to keep his title hopes alive.

    RESULTATS DU JOUR
    Faute de belles vagues ce matin les trials ont commencé avec un peu de retard, mais pas découragés pour si peu, c’est à 9h00 que les compétiteurs se sont mis à l’eau pour décrocher les qualifications leur permettant d’accéder au Main Event. On est bien sûr déçu pour Clovis Donizetti qui a été éliminé, mais Antoine Delpero a fait sensation et a obtenu la meilleure note avec une vague à 9 points ! Le combat commença sous le signe du soleil revenu dans l’après-midi.

    ACTU VILLAGE
    Le village a aussi ouvert ses portes au grand public aujourd’hui avec différentes animations et expositions. Plusieurs stands sont mis en place, comme celui de la Surfrider Foundation, mais aussi une boutique Oxbow ou encore un espace loundge Orange où les visiteurs peuvent se connecter !
