Surfing: Silva (BRA) beats Hinckel (BRA) in Heat #7
The scores weren’t the highest but the competition was fierce in Heat #7 as two Team Brazil surfers battled it out for a place in the quarter finals. Luana Silva (BRA) punched her ticket to the next round with a 3.5 and a 3.27.
Very much in the hunt to the end, Tianá Hinckel (BRA) was surfing fast and powerfully on her backhand, using compact turns in the pocket to earn a 3.0 and a 2.93. SItting alone out the back in the final minutes, a possible heat winning wave just didn’t come her way.
