Palawan is an island in the Philippines and therefore the scenery is tropical and the weather hot. February 7th marked the opening day and we were greeted with windy conditions. The judges deemed it a warm up day and all riders took to the water in droves to hit the features.

Yesterday, February 11th was the official first contest day. The wind started picking up first thing in the morning and by 12pm the contest was on! We started the women’s heat with all 6 riders: Annelous Lammerts, Victoria Soloveykina, Isabel von Zastrow, Manuela Jungo, Colleen Carroll and yours truly.
Colleen Carroll
The level of the ladies has really stepped up this year and every single one of the girls was charging. We cycled through each feature (Air Asia roof top rail, North fun box, and the Solaire kicker). Annelous Lammerts really stepped it up by landing the first double pass, a toe-side backside 540, to ever be done by a woman off of a static feature in a competition. The crowd went nuts!
