2010 IFCA SOUTH AMERICAN WAVESAILING CHAMPIONSHIP WINNERS After 3 stops of the Wavesailing South American tour, Ricardo Guglielmino (Starboard/Severne/Mormaii rider) got to podium in the first place of the Open Division. The event took place in 3 of the most famous South American Wavesailing spots. The first stop was in July in Lobitos, the north of Peru. This is a place of very long tubular waves and good wind, mostly for 4.5 sails. During this event we had all, good 2m height waves and 1m very long waves and sunny warm days. Then, in early October we stopped in Ibiraquera, Brazil. There we had 2 days of intense wind conditions over 25 knots mostly. This was maybe the most complicated for most riders as one day we had port tack conditions and the other day starboard tack conditions. The last flight was to Matanzas, Chile. This spot came with 2 days of great wind conditions varying from 18-28 knots. Medium size waves gave all competitors the chance to show the best tricks in the wave while very good and high jump maneuvers. After the 3 days the winner was the Peruvian Ricardo Guglielmino, who now has the South American Wavesailing title. He had 14 points at the end of the event, while the Brazilian Christian Saurier had 15 points and Chilean Andres Tovar (Starboard/Neilpryde) 16 points. Was really a very tough competition showing that South America is really strong at windsurfing competition right now. Christian, was also the South American Youth Champion while his father Ivan Saurier the master champion. “For me this is one of the most importants events I have ever ride. Having a South American Championship with about 50 competitors and 5 countries participating makes me feel really good about all the effort I have done for this championship”, said Ricardo Guglielmino. The South American championship tour was followed by competitors of Peru, Chile, Brazil, Colombia and Argentina and had 49 participants. We expect for next year more countries get into the tour and this open the chances for soon SA more wave world titles in the next years too. This is an IFCA sanctioned event, organized in collaboration with the Peruvian Windsurfing Association, Windsurfing Chile and AWBS.

Round Three - Matanzas, Chile After touring America for the 2010 IFCA South American Wave Championship circuit, I won!  I'm very happy and wanted to share this with you all!   The circuit began in Lobitos skills (Piura) in the month of July, and then continued in early October at the famous beach in Brazil Ibiraquera. The closing event for the entire circuit, and the one that defined the South American championship was held on the beach "Matanzas" in Chile and ended Monday.   I am very happy to have won this title, I treasure especially because it involves competing in the 3 countries at the highest level of South America (Brazil, Chile and Peru) and that of a great value because you have actually earned under the conditions of all countries, ie no preference for either.   I arrived in Chile in second and favorite for the last time, after excellent results in Brazil and Peru. Had climbed on the scoreboard all the time and the final stage would be crucial, especially for demanding circuit that included the top 50 competitors from Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Colombia and Peru. Somehow got pretty quiet, just had to make a good impression and I was sure this would be, but the unexpected happened, the impossible and the only thing that was not in the plan and was entering the first heat of the powers of the whole picture and I play for draw against 3 local competition, including the best windsurfers of Chile, the most knowledgeable of the Matanzas beach and perfect wind ... the wind is very strong: Felipe Wedeles. I had already beaten Felipe in Brazil and Peru, but not on this beach!  In Matanzas, the wave is very aggressive and capricious, and adding that the wind was blowing above 25 knots, so I'm not so used, I complicate everything, especially because I ran in the first heat of the championship, though they had not trained before the run because there was no wind. By losing the first heat of the championship, although it sounds unbelievable, I went from favorite to "last post" of the event, along with 7 more removed. And I went to the dreaded, complicated and exhausting playoff series, which have only one chance to return to the podium. If I lost once I was out. And I went to the playoffs in any place, but finally ... it's the worst.   For me it was about to touch the top and fall off the larger gap. Back at the campsite at night I thought too, about how he had given that title that seemed unattainable, especially money and time that this had cost me to go and fall to the bottom. But then I motivate myself, but who else ... hehe, and I decided to change the minds and assume that the championship had not begun for me. And despite the difficulty of climbing a playoff if he could climb onto the podium get a title with much more personal value if he wins the South American direct. I have to believe me because I had no other!   On their part the Brazilians and Chileans were more relaxed with me at the bottom of the scoreboard and the beach more complicated for me, the title became easier and Brazil aimed to be the champion flanked by Chile, which was relegated to a third time place. Although it sounds strange, on the morning of the second day I went to the rock face where the wave bursts and decided, blank paper and pencil in hand, to write my whole day, since as I would like to be my first heat until the end of the event, end championship celebration and more. And so I went into my first heat and I had first. The second heat was hard for me ... I had to beat 3 Chilean including Kike Letelier (former South American champion and who had previously lost several times) .... so I did my best, good air and a perfect loop forward with a hand me saved ... and so, heat after heat followed up where needed, almost non-stop because as the shortened playoff tree had no breaks. At the end of the day I got a score of 14 points between 3 heats, and Christian Saurier (Brazil), who was after my first drop was 15 points. So, I managed to win the championship one point ahead of second place. And Andres Tobar, the Chilean who was the 2009 Open champion and local Sudamericano Matanzas, took third place in the championship to a point behind Christian.   OPEN Results: 1 - Ricardo Guglielmino (PERU) 2 - Christian Saurier (BRAZIL) 3 - Andres Tovar (CHILE)   It has been one of the most hotly contested championships as we have discussed point by point each in the championship. The awards show was very good, excellent campsite in Chile, strong camaraderie. And the weather this time was wonderful, plenty of sunshine, warmth and lots of people on the beach watching the championship.  I'm happy because I wanted this so much and have not stopped for months to achieve this. I am very pleased. When I got the title in 2008 it was difficult, but the level today on the circuit is very strong, and today there are also many new people that are prepared months to come to each date. There are youth taking maneuvers like double forward loop that belong in the world professional circuit. It's incredible! Saludos Ricardo Guglielmino PER 1
