Matanzas Wave Classic – Day 3 – Expression Session

by IWT on 28 Sep 2017
Day 3 – Morgan Noireaux – Matanzas Wave Classic Si Crowther / IWT
After two solid days of competition, and all brackets complete, it was time for a more relaxing day.

Riders were released to do as they pleased, but there was going to be an expression session in the evening just down the beach from Matanzas at Roca Cuadrada.



Some sailors went to Topocalma, others stayed at Matanzas, and those that chose to join in on the expression session at Roca were rewarded with a thundering point break session. The wave peels from “Square Rock” throwing some pretty heavy sections down into the bay. The expression session did not disappoint. Riders were charging mast high barreling sections and clearly enjoying themselves in the new spot. There were moments of glory, and moments of carnage.



Local pro Andres Tobar was charging hard. He had some of the best waves of the day, but also one of the biggest wipeouts. Luckily for Andres, his gear came through unscathed, and he was able to continue. Not everyone was so lucky, as at least one sail and board came back with damage. Goofy foot Morgan Noireaux was feeling comfortable in the peeling left-hander. He was hitting critical sections and making it look easy overall. His progressive surf style gave him the Expression win.
