The Pacasmayo classic has started. Two days ago the opening ceremonies kicked off with dancing and traditional Peruvian Pisco drinks. Even the Mayor of Pacasmayo was present to support the event. There are 16 countries represented between 35 riders and besides the windsurfing event, there are also competitions held in SUP and kitesurfing.

The windsurfing contest got already started. Mast high waves and 18 knots of wind gave the sailors plenty of opportunity to show their best moves. Highlights of the day included Tom Juban winning first place in his heat against Francisco Goya. Levi Lenz from Brazil won first place in his first heat against Camile Juban, however Camile came back strong in the winning first in the second round. Gabriel Cajaty from Brazil had a great heat pulling off takas and vertical top turns. Kevin Pritchard sailed very well in his heat with multiple huge aerials on each wave.

Levi not fancy port tack?
And where is windsurfing?
Yes, we know, there was no windsurfing in the preview clip, but at least you saw the conditions. Sorry.
But… Where is Levi Siver?? And Marcilio? 🙁
Marcilio was on stand-by for the Storm Chase as they had high alert for Tasmania. Tasmania got cancelled, but the contest in Peru got already started.
Why Levi Siver did not go, we don´t know.
