Congrats to Lindsey Jacobellis who was recently named the US Ski and Snowboard Athlete of the Year for Snowboarding. Lindsey, recognized for her two golds in Beijing, has won this title 4 times.
Great job LJ! Go Team USA.
Lindsey Jacobellis did it! First gold for Team USA. Finally she got the gold medal after 5 Games…a record tying feat in itself. Lindsey was on point all day racing to the top spot in all but her initial time trial qualifying heat.
We are so proud of you LJ!!!
Lindsey Jacobellis didn’t 6-peat in the individual races but got 5th overall and just missed finals by fractions of a second. She did, however, make history by winning gold, and her 6th gold medal, in the first ever mixed heat championships. Partnering with Team USA’s Mick Dierdorff, LJ came from behind early and dominated her race landing her in first and winning the gold.
We are so excited for Lindsey and her sixth gold medal!
This week Tia Blanco did it again. Representing for TEAM USA at the ISA World Surfing Games, she retained her title and won gold in the individual competition. Team USA wound up getting a bronze medal because of Tia’s performance and they also got gold in the Aloha Cup team challenge. Tia surfed amazingly well all week in Jaco dominating most of her heats with huge carves, big hacks and a couple of super stylist laybacks.
Congrats Tia on your 2016 title win!
She’s done it again. Tia dominated all weekend at the Surfing America Championships to take home top honors and the Governor’s Cup. Tia can now add USA Champ to her long list of accomplishments as she surfs her last year of 18u. Prepping to enter the big leagues and hopefully qualify for the world tour, Tia’s swan song has been a sweet one with wins all over the place.
For a great pictorial recap of the contest please go HERE. To celebrate, Tia will be throwing out the first pitch at the San Diego Padres games on July 17th.
Congrats Tia.
Tia Blanco did it! Dominating the surf all week in Nicaragua, Tia has brought home the gold medal in the ISA World Surfing Games. Tia won every heat she entered (except one she got second because her board snapped) and showed everyone what a dominant performance looked like. The only member of Team USA to make the final and not have to surf in any repercharge heats, Tia surfed with power and style.
We are so proud of Tia and all she is accomplishing this year. Next stop for Tia is the Los Cabos Pro where she will hopefully get more points toward qualifying for the World Tour.
