Ma\u00f1ana Isaac Vega se va para Ecuador a representar Costa Rica y Witch\u2019s Rock Surf camp en uno de los torneos m\u00e1s grandes de latino America, el ALAS (Asociaci\u00f3n Latinoamericana de surfistas profesionales)<\/a>. Sera la primera fecha del torneo. Gracias a las olas enormes que est\u00e1n quebrando en Hawaii ya se vienen difundiendo en varios lugares del mundo (Ayer ya llegaron en Tamarindo y las olas no paran de entrar en el estero). Viendo el reporte de Surfline pareciera que las derechas de Engabao quebraran entre tres a cuatro metros para el Reef Classic Guayas<\/p>

No es cualquiera que puede competir en el ALAS, Isaac lleva a\u00f1os de experiencia compitiendo en estos tipos de torneo donde llega un nivel muy alto y profesional. Isaac tambi\u00e9n ya ha ido a Ecuador con el equipo nacional de Costa Rica.<\/p>

Que es lo que m\u00e1s te motiva para ir?<\/strong><\/p>

Es la primera fecha del circuito entonces hay que darle con todo. Me encanta la idea de representar a mi pa\u00eds y m\u00e1s que todo a Tamarindo. Tambi\u00e9n por el nivel contra quien se compite, las olas que vamos a surfear, la compa\u00f1\u00eda y m\u00e1s que todo conocer nuevos lugares.<\/p>

Quien es tu competici\u00f3n mas grande?<\/strong><\/p>

La verdad vienen surfiadores muy buenos de todos los pa\u00edses y la competencia est\u00e1 muy dura pero me siento listo!<\/p>

Como es la ola ah\u00ed?<\/strong><\/p>

La ola es point break, derecha, tubular y un poco r\u00e1pida. Es una muy buena ola para competencia, para demostrar el nivel que hay en latino am\u00e9rica. Las condiciones en el surfing siempre cambian y por eso uno entrena antes en cualquier condiciones.<\/p>

Te sientes listo? has entrenado? y que haces para entrenar para un torneo asi?<\/strong><\/p>

Estoy listo, me siento bien con mi plan de entrenamiento, tambi\u00e9n he trabajado mucho en mi condici\u00f3n f\u00edsica y mental para estrategias.<\/p>

Aparte de WRSC, quien te patrocina?<\/strong><\/p>

Tengo que poner mucho de mi parte, pero tambi\u00e9n me patrocina FCS fins y DHD SurfBoards. Llevo 3 tablas 5\u20199.<\/p>

Quien mas de Costa Rica va a ir?<\/strong><\/p>

Voy a viajar con un amigo de toda la vida Jason Torres, desde ni\u00f1os competimos juntos en los nacionales e internacionales, Jason tiene muy buen nivel y entre los dos nos apoyamos.<\/p>

Tenemos mucha esperanza en Isaac, \u00e9l ha estado surfeando muy bien y su nivel est\u00e1 subiendo. Es un honor y orgullo tenerlo representando a WRSC. Vamos Isaac!!<\/p>

….. IN ENGLISH…..<\/p>

Tomorrow, Isaac Vega will be traveling to Ecuador to represent Costa Rica & Witch’s Rock Surf Camp <\/a>in one of the biggest surfing tours that exists in Central America, the ALAS (Latin-Americas Association of Professional Surfers). This will be the first stop of the 2014 Tour, and chances are it will feature the large waves that were just breaking in Hawai’i, California and other places around the world (today right here in Playa Tamarindo the waves were amazing and still getting better as the day went on). According to forecasts, the famed right-hander at Engabao could see waves in the 10-12 foot range during the Reef Classic Guayas. That’s over double-overhead on the faces!<\/p>

Not just anyone can surf in the ALAS tour, and Isaac takes with him years of experience in surfing these types of high-level professional surf contests. Isaac has also been to Ecuador before with the Costa Rica national surf team.<\/p>

What’s your main motivation for competing in this contest?<\/strong><\/p>

This is the first tour stop of the year, so I have to give it all I have. I really love the idea of representing my country and all of Tamarindo. I also really get motivated just from competing at that level, surfing the types of waves we’ll be surfing, and just getting ti know new places and new people. There’s a lot to get motivated about.<\/p>

Who do you see as your biggest competition?<\/strong><\/p>

There’s really so many good surfers from many different countries and all of the competitors are tough. But I feel strong & ready!<\/p>

How is the wave up there where you will be competing?<\/strong><\/p>

It’s a right point break, lots of barrels and kind of fast. It’s a great wave to compete at, to show the level of surf that exists in Latin-America. The conditions in surfing are always changing though so you have to be ready to surf no matter what comes at you.<\/p>

Are you ready? Have you been training? What do you do to train in a tournament like this?<\/strong><\/p>

I’m ready, I feel good with the training plan I have. I’ve really worked hard on my physical condition, and also on my mental strategy.<\/p>

Aside from WRSC, who else are you sponsored by?<\/strong><\/p>

FCS fins and DHD Surfboards. I also pay with money I make from working.<\/p>

Who else from Costa Rica will be going?<\/strong><\/p>

I’ll be traveling with a life-long friend, Jason Torres. We’ve surfed & competed together since we were kids, both nationally and internationally. Jason’s surfing is awesome and we really push & support each other.<\/p>

We could’t be more proud to sponsor Isaac as he pursues his dream. We know first-hand how much his surfing has been progressing as of late, and he’s an incredible all-around representative of Witch’s Rock Surf Camp.<\/p>

Let’s go Isaac!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
