Luis Vindas finally joined his sister up on the winner’s podium as Costa Rica’s national surfing champion.
Luis and Lisbeth Vindas, from the central Pacific beach town of Jacó, won Costa Rica’s surfing national championships on accumulated points after the season’s final contest at La Curva in nearby Playa Hermosa this weekend. Luis earned his first-ever national surf championship, while his sister picked up her eighth title.
After not scoring high enough to qualify for Sunday’s final, Luis watched from shore as his closets challengers Carlos Muñoz and Gilbreth Brown stumbled – allowing Luis Vindas to stay atop the rankings and earn the crown. In his fifth year on the circuit, Luis collected his first national title. He was runner-up in 2008. His sister also faltered in the event’s final rounds. However, so did her closest competitor Nataly Bernard, resulting in Lisbeth picking up another title.
