Jobos Beach PR 🇵🇷
What a day!!
Beautiful sun, warm water, and a stacked lineup of groms ready to rip. Jobos wasn’t exactly playing nice either. The waves were rough, wind-textured, shifty, and tough to read. But that didn’t slow anyone down.
These kids were charging!!
The standout showdown of the weekend was Shakti Martinez and Kendall Dimmick in the women’s divisions. Heat after heat they kept answering each other. Big turns, smart wave selection, total composure in messy surf. They ended up swapping titles, which says everything about how tight that battle was.
On the boys’ side, Ryan Parkinson put on a clinic. Dominant from the first heat to the final. Confident, powerful, and in rhythm all day. When the waves got tricky, he looked even more locked in.
Heavy conditions.
High level surfing.
The future is bright.
Jobos always delivers. And this next generation is coming in hot. 🌊🔥
