DAY 2 AT THE EVERYDAY MEHDYA, MOROCCO

Wednesday, August 13, Mehdia Beach, Kenitra, Morocco.

At 10:30 a.m. local time, the second day of the Junior Men Rising Series Everyday Mehdya competition in Morocco kicked off.

After day one, only 24 athletes remain in the running, so today’s a big one if you want to make the finals.

Another sunny day on the gorgeous Mehdya beach, with waves resembling yesterday’s, as the athletes put on a high level again in front of a big crowd.

Today they held rounds 2 and 3, so the best surfers have qualified for the quarterfinals.

ROUND 2

This round consists of 6 heats with 4 competitors each, and only the top 2 advance directly to round 3.

A showdown between Moroccans saw Momou Hamza stand out with a big total of 13.25 points. His countryman Laabi Sami also did well and qualified.

ROUND 3

Round 3 features 12 athletes who race in heats of 3; the top 2 advance to the quarterfinals.

Hamza Momou from Morocco again takes the win, signaling his title bid. Frenchman Yohann Bachelard comes in second, just 0.15 behind Tarfaoui Souhail who missed his goal.

Once more Unax Pascual puts in a great effort, scoring a high 15 points and advances as the winner. Moroccan Chaid Ayoub makes the cut, knocking out his compatriot Moutouakil Adam.

The day’s final heat was spectacular: Moroccan Agouzul Abdelkarim posted the day’s best score, 15.65, showing he’s a real title threat in Mehdya. Spanish Néstor Reyes finishes second with an incredible run, and local favorite Hajji Yassine exits to cheers.

It was a great day of competition filled with emotion and sharp moves from these young talents.

Only the top 8 remain, so the show is guaranteed in the head-to-head heats.

Tomorrow (Thursday), organizers plan competitor check-ins at 8:30 a.m. local time to assess conditions and decide if the finals day will go ahead.

Remember this event is the fourth and penultimate stop to earn one of 48 final spots at the Grand Canaria Frontón King in October.
