The third Volcom Totally Crustaceous Tour contest of this European season went down last weekend in the beautiful Punta Del Hidalgo, playa del « Roquete » in Tenerife.
Groms were frothing already during preregistration at the idea of having the wave for themselves during the comp!
The competition started on Saturday 28 February with small but clean conditions, and the sun was out to everyone’s delight. And the first rounds of Groms, Girls and Juniors divisions were completed, with the highlights of the day being the full Squids divisions (10 years and under).
On the Sunday the surf picked up and offered good conditions for the final rounds of Groms, Juniors, Girls, and Pro Am division.

Squids were taking it serious, but as usual it is often their first ever contest, such as Makoa Gomez who reached the semis with mum and dad in the water to help.
Young Thais Peña was giving it all battling with the boys and finishing up at the 3rd place.
Tim Elter won the Squids division with a tiebreaker wave with Moises Dominguez.

Lenni Jensen claimed Victory in the Groms division, here enjoying the sun of the first day in Round 1
