The Chile Trials Run in Promising Conditions

The Trials event for the Arica Chilean Challenge has just completed and the contigent of Australian riders are just arriving to the site of the contest.

Riptide just received the following details in an email from the Arica contest director Tomate:

Chile has her team for Arica Chilean Challenge and this Chilean army is strong this year.
The Arica Bodyboard Association gave 10 invitations for the trials to give an opportunity to compete with the international stars at Gringo. The invites went to...
1.    Alan Munoz (Wilcard)
2.    Kevin Torres (Wildcard)
3.    Christian Fernandez (Wildcard)
4.    Diego Berrios (Wilcard)
5.    Francisco Alvarado
6.    Sebastian Gajardo
7.    Danton Correa
8.    Eddy Ramirez
9.    Sebastian Contreras
10. Pedro Sagardia

Tomate is also predicting that there's a high chance that the comp with be delivered a 14ft swell - which means there's going to be some crazy action going down.

que onda los wildcard de chile??????
hasta cuando le dan la oporunidad a weones que no hacen ni un 360?. oye es un mundial .... mínimo manden a riders que nos representen dignamente, Danton,alan, fernandez, rapo, les creo todo el rato. pero eddy?? ES UN MUNDIALLL, como cresta mandan a ese weon si no hace ni un 360??? porque es local nomas???. con razón nunca ganamos niuna wea. si la cosa es simple. pa competir, tiene que correr bien ... nada ma.
que pasa le dan el cupo porque le tienen susto? pena? que pasa???.
QUE PASÓ CON NARANJO??????? no tenia plata pa inscribirse y lo dejan fuera, les apuesto. que pena me da.
les doy algunos nombres que lo harían harto mejor: felipe olivares, juan luis muñoz, alexander wittman, cristobal sciaraffia, boris villalobos, mauro vivanco, por ejemplo.
deberían pensar en todos los riders de chile y no sólo en los ariqueños, ES UN MUNDIAL y estamos representado a TODO CHILE.
