PANTIN, Spain (Thursday, August 26, 2010) – Round Two of the Ferrolterra Movistar Pantin Classic Presented by Billabong was completed today with gale force off-shore winds battering the line-up making for tricky conditions for the entire international field of athletes. After yesterday’s sweltering heat it was the wind that played havoc at the main event site. Late this afternoon Round Two of the Cabreiroa Surfing Girls was also completed during another marathon day of competition.

There were clean 3-4ft (1m) waves on offer throughout the day however with the strong winds and the huge low tide during the middle of the day conditions played a major role in the competitor’s game plan when entering the water.

Rodrigo Dornelles (BRA) came home on the final siren to jump from third to first in his 25-minute clash and claim the highest single wave score of the day, an 8.90 out of a possible 10. Needing a solid score to advance. Dornelles paddled into a long right-hander pulling off a series of powerful turns to easily advance to the next round.

Gony Zubizarreta (ESP) who finished equal 3rd in last year’s edition advanced behind an inform Alejo Muniz (BRA). Surfing in his local area in front of the supportive crowd watching the action unfold, Zubizarreta used his local knowledge of the Pantin peak to break away from his nearest rivals.

“I feel good here in Pantin and I got a third last year here and the local people support me here and I feel really comfortable because I have surfed this comp many times over the years and sometime the pressure can hurt you but if you can deal with it your surfing can be better.”

“I was lucky I found a good right at the ning and then a little left. Alejo (Muniz) was surfing very good and the others couldn’t find any rhythm and were a little bit lost on the peak so I was definitely lucky so I am very happy to get through that heat and looking forward to tomorrow.”

All athletes are in search of valuable points for the ASP World Rankings. The Cabreiroa Surfing Girls is the final stop of the ASP European Women’s Series and will eventually crown this year’s ASP European Women’s Champion while for the men it is stop number 7 of 12 for the ASP European Men’s Series.

First call tomorrow Day 4 will be at 08:30 local time for Round Three of the Ferrolterra Movistar Pantin Classic Presented by Billabong and the Cabreiroa Surfing Girls.
