Honolua Blomfield And Edouard Delpero Win Big At The Cuervo Surf Ranch Classic
Honolua Blomfield and Edouard Delpero were the big winners at the Cuervo Surf Ranch Classic this past Wednesday.
The WSL longboarding completion kicked off the 2021-2022 season this past week in Lemoore, California with the Cuervo Surf Ranch Classic. Longboarders have been on the sidelines since the 2019 season ended. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 season was canceled. Although there was no official competition for over a year, you can tell that these riders have been getting wet and practicing their moves.
The competition started off with 18 men and women each with two rights and two lefts to show the world what they had in the tank. As the field began to narrow down two surfers stood out. Honolua Bloomfield and Edouard Delpero proved that they were the best in the pool that day.
Bloomfield put up a 10 point score on her first left and ran away with the competition.
“This means a lot and it’s one of my favorite wins so far in my career,” Blomfield said. “I want to thank Soleil (Errico) for pushing me to pull out all the stops and do what I had to do to win. I’m just so happy to win this event and having so much fun. I’d love to get another World Title but it’s going to be tough with everyone competing so I’ll give it my all.”
Delpero is no stranger to WSL glory. This win at the ranch was his fourth WSL victory.
“It’s been super hard work and I’m fully enjoying this victory,” said Delpero. “Congratulations to all the surfers that pushed me to surf that wave at my best. There was definitely a lot of coaching coming from these tents as we had a lot of support. This is great and just so thankful for all of this. I can’t wait to get to Malibu and give my everything at that event and hopefully I can get another big win there if I can keep this momentum.”
