In just two weeks, the Santa Surf Pro WQS 6 Star Championship kicks off at San Juan Beach (Teguise). This year, from October 13 to 19, the competition will once again become one of the most important surfing events in the country. More than 250 surfers of different nationalities have confirmed their presence at the event.
The riders are coming in strong as the winners of the Lanzarote event will fill the last places that will give access to the WCT, which brings together the 44 best surfers on the planet, a circumstance that adds interest to the call. In addition, many of those included in this elite list will have to revalidate their position if they do not want to be left out. It is the last test to access this select minority.
They come from the five continents; there are Brazilians, Japanese, Moroccans, Germans, Australians, Spaniards and a long etcetera. This year, Sany García, a Hawaiian, several times world surfing champion who had retired a couple of years ago and is back to fight for the podium on the conejera beach, is expected with special expectation. García will be at the presentation of the event together with the Councilor for Sports of the Teguise City Council, Víctor Barreto.
Every day, as in other years, an influx of approximately one thousand people is expected, a figure that will increase considerably during the weekend with the celebration of concerts, markets, children's workshops, surf talks and environmental days.
