No waves in Vargas The Gran Canaria - Vargas, Aguimes PWA Wave World Cup 2003. Due to a lack of waves the regular wave competition failed to deliver results. Nevertheless conditions on Saturday (May 3rd) have been suitable for some great freestyle action. Thirty-two men and eight women competed in side onshore conditions in a force four to five, in ten minute heats with only the most radical move to count. The women's fleet has again significantly improved over the winter and their final, which featured all eight of them would put much of the men's fleet to shame. Daida Moreno (Mistral / North) landed a couple of clew first forward loops amongst a series of other classy moves. Her sister, Iballa Moreno (Mistral / North) finished in fourth overall in her comeback after missing last year through injury, behind Holland's Anne-Marie Reichman whose awesome wave riding has reached a new level after hanging out all winter in Australia. Former World Champion from Switzerland Karen Jaggi (F2 / Arrows) who'd been out practicing all morning nailed some wicked spocks and grubbys to finish second, but it was Daida who stole the show to win here on her home territory. Ricardo Campello won the highly competitive men's freestyle.
