For the record, I am writing this blog from my mobile because my laptop has broken but, I really wanted to tell you about my great trip to Jordan! I received an invitation from the IWWF<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a> (International Waterski and Wakeboarding Federation) to represent the Wakeboard World Cup in Aqaba, Jordan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a> God,Jordan!,<\/a>The city of
\n Petra!<\/strong>
\n<\/a> Well, and that’s what I knew about the country???? But boy, I was dying to go and discover.<\/p>\n

I arrived two days before the rest of the competitors arrived and… Wow, what good luck! …<\/strong> In those days the adventures did not cease lol. But let’s leave them for another chapter.<\/p>\n

THE COMPETITION<\/strong><\/p>\n

The competition lasted two days. Friday and Saturday. First they touched the grades. I was extremely nervous which made me make some beginner mistakes which made me go straight to the LCQ (the second chance to get into the final).<\/p>\n

LCQ’s are a bit because, instead of having two runs, you only have one. That is, if with two spins you make a first round to “secure” and another in which, depending on what the others do, you throw some tricks or others … Here it’s all playing or not playing it. I don’t remember exactly but, I think the penultimate one came out, that is, I could see what they did all (except one) to half know whether to play it or not. Well, hopefully, doing a simple round I was able to advance to the final:<\/p>\n

This final was the most difficult competition I’ve ever done in my life. The level was brutal!
\nAll the girls were landing tricks that a few years ago you got on the podium easily. The truth is that I am proud to be part of this moment in history, the girls are working on it and we want everyone to find out. In the end I stayed with the 7th position. It’s not what I was looking for, it’s not the result I expected but, I’m happy. I ironed out my round, did almost everything I could do, and between my 7th position and 4th I was only 1 point apart, so it could have been anyone. I’m left wanting to keep training and ironing new tricks \ud83d\ude42 #Seguimosluchando!!<\/p>\n

JORDAN AND THE WADI RUM DESERT<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s one of the most brutal things I’ve ever seen in my life. If you are reading this I recommend 200% go see it once in a lifetime. I leave you some photos just in case…<\/p>\n
