The Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) Grade-1 Oakley Pro Junior got underway today at Lacanau in France in consistent but messy three to four foot (1 to 1.2 meter) waves at the central beach and Rounds 1, 2 and 4 heats of Round 3 were completed finishing in a stormy weather. Pascal Van Der Mast (NED), 17, got through to Round 4 in the dying seconds, posting a good 6.83 point ride (out of a possible 10). "The waves are much better than in Holland", Van der Mast said. "I was very stressed this morning but in this heat I felt much better. I don’t think about winning the competition because I have plenty of things to learn." The Marocan crew, including rising under-21 regional surfer Ramzi Boukiam (MAR), displayed very good surfing as well in the testing conditions and Soufiane Charoub (MAR), 17, won his two encounters consecutively. "I am stoked", Soufiane Charoub said. "I tried to surf my best but the conditions were more difficult this afternoon then this morning but I managed to get a couple of re-entries. I have no pressure, I want to go as far as possible and I will meet my friend Othmane (Choufani) next Round." The waiting period of the Oakley Pro Junior runs until Sunday, August 10th and all competitors will meet tomorrow at 8 AM to check the conditions and get things going if possible.
