Julia’s New Skills Earn Her Competitive Success

on By

A few months ago we had Julia “the grom” Van Raalte participate in a retreat in Nicaragua. We worked with her on competitive strategy like waiting for the biggest waves, and surfing strategy like going all the way to the bottom then all the way to the top of the wave. I got really excited to receive the following email from her talking about her newfound competitive success. See below and cheer with us for Julia!

Hey Holly,
 
Just wanted to tell you about some of my latest happenings. I recently competed in the year’s first ESA comp and had a great time. I followed your advice to put my sick middle-turns away, and placed 2nd in my age group, and then 2nd again in the Open Women’s division. For the latter, I won $300! It was so much fun to be at the beach, see friends, and make new one’s while catching some cute waves! Attached are pictures of my best wave from the Women’s Open heat and one of the awards announcement for Open.

On a slightly different, but equally exciting note, my Dwart came in, and it is absolutely beautiful! I’m going to paint it up this weekend and hopefully send you a picture or two of the finished product.

Best Wipeout Contest

The only thing I like better than an Amiga getting a great wave is an Amiga getting an awesome wipeout. I blew it and cleared out my hard drive most of the way through the season so this only represents a tiny fraction of the awesome wipeouts that we saw in the 2011/2012 season. I’ve chosen my top 4 favorites and now you get to vote for the best. The winner gets a new Freestyle watch. Vote in the comments here, on facebook, via email ([email protected]) or follow the link to the youtube video and vote in the comments there. I’ll be tallying up the votes on Friday Aug 10!
