Continuing on her contest tear, Tia Blanco went all the way to the final at the Costa Rica Essential Pro. Dominating her heats throughout the rounds with some of the highest waves scores of the day, Tia landed in the final. The surf was anemic and unfortunately she came up short in the final but her dominance throughout the contest shows she is mentally back on track to win contests again. This finish should jump her up 10-15 spots in the QS rankings.
Go Tia!
