We had heard stories about this young girl charging big waves in Southern Nicaragua, but this is the first time that I actually witnessed it. This is Valentina Resano and she is only 9 years old. Watching her take off on such big waves is impressive, but what amazes me the most is the lines she’s drawing. Her surfing is incredibly mature and once she grows up a bit and gains some weight, she’s going to be even more unbelievable. Prepare to be amazed!
She charges! But Carissa was doing rail to rail turns by 6 years old and 360 by 7…..
It’s important to celebrate each child on their own merits. It’s clear Valentina is a phenom, period.
Reblogged this on The Turquoise Current.
celebrate normal surfing… don’t tell these kids they are great when there just having fun… adults will ruin it and a phenom she is not sorry.
She is off to a good start for sure. I bet she will be ripping in a few years!
