Watch the fourth episode of Ben Proffitt’s Pozo Diaries with news directly from Pozo Izquierdo, where the first PWA Wave World Cup will start on July 9.
Update starting place for Boujma Guilloul:
Rich Page: “Sailors who cannot compete due to injury have their seeding protected for a period of 12 months. This, in effect, means that their position is frozen from the point that they could not enter an event due to injury and will apply again at the next event that they participate in. In Boujmaa’s case in particular, although he was injured late in 2011, he was still unable to compete in the Canaries in 2012 and that was his reason for not taking part then. His ranking at that point (not prior to injury which was much higher still), was still high enough to qualify him directly into the main event in 2013, despite having not competed at the final event in 2011, and it was that ranking that was taken into consideration when awarding him a place in the main event under the conditions of his injury.”
