Naranjo Opens With A
Bang, National Champ Is
First Winner of DAYSTAR
Copa Mango Tournament
At the very last minute
of the Final heat with
surfers Jason Torres
(Jaco), Olman Morales
(Santa Teresa) and
Federico Pilurzu
(Tamarindo), the
2006-2007 Costa Rica
National Champion Diego
Naranjo (Jaco) Monday
was victorious in Playa
Hermosa’s La Curva,
becoming the first
winner of the 2008-09
season of the Circuito
Nacional de Surf 2008-09
DAYSTAR Copa Mango
tournament.
Naranjo accomplished his
winning trophy task by
the elimination of
important candidates to
this title in earlier
rounds of Quarterfinals
and Semifinals,
including Argentinean
Leandro Usuna, Ticos
Jairo Perez, Luiz Vindas,
Juan Carlos Naranjo (all
of Jaco), Carlos Muñoz (Esterillos),
Matías Braun
(Montezuma), among
others.
In doing so, the former
Champion reiterated his
suitability, and
ultimately, his surety,
of running the waves for
a win at La Curva in
good conditions
yesterday that stayed
between two to four
feet, breaking very
well, with tubes that
threw to both sides.
The next date of the
Circuito Nacional de
Surf 2008-2009 DAYSTAR
will be the Torneo Coca
Cola Zero in Jaco, in
front of the Hotel
Enchanted Bay, this
Friday through Sunday.
This will follow the
Association Latinamerica
de Surfistas
Profesionales (ALAS)
Latin American Pro date
that took place last
week in Jaco. |
