Pierre-Louis Costes conquered the 2011 Sumol Nazaré Special Edition, in Nazaré, Portugal. The world bodyboarding champion took the big wave title in the 3.5-metre waves of Praia do Norte.
The French bodyboarder made 46,90 points (in 60 points possible), in the sum of the two best waves of the first and second rounds and the final, the best score ever in Sumol Nazaré Special Edition. Watch the video highlights. The Portuguese beach, in which Garrett McNamara scored the biggest wave ever, delivered great rides. After two very competitive rounds, with aerial maneuvers and deep barrels, Pierre Louis Costes, Elliot Morales, Dino Carmo, Tiago Moita Silva, Silvano Lourenço and António Cardoso went to the final. It was a very exciting final, as all the athletes were very near in ability and any of them could win the title. Pierre Louis Costes and António Cardoso stood out from the others, finishing two huge barrels each. There was also a massive invert of "Tó" Cardoso that allowed him to win second place of the competition. |
