LOS CABOS OPEN OF SURF
The 2017 Los Cabos Open of Surf (LCOOS) was a World Surf League Women’s Qualifying Series 6,000 and Jr. Pro Event for boys and girls under 18 years old. The main event was held June 6-11 at the world-famous Zippers surf spot, located near the Costa Azul bridge in San Jose Del Cabo.
The plentiful waves made for an exciting week of surfing that ended one day earlier than expected. Brazilian professional surfer Silvana Lima finally took home the Women’s QS title along with a check for $10,000 USD after three consecutive years in the finals. The Jr. Pro Men’s and Women’s prizes went to Che Allan and Summer Macedo respectively. This year, LCOOS partnered with Alana Blanchard and the Alana Blanchard Foundation to support talented young girls who may not otherwise have the financial means to get to the next levels in surfing. The 2017 Alana Blanchard Foundation Challenge Specialty Heat winner and check for $2,500 USD was awarded to Dimity Stoyle.
In contrast to previous years, there was not a large concert on the beach. Instead, El Merkado hosted an official LCOOS music event featuring rising singer and Willie Nelson protégé Lily Meola, along with DJ and professional surfer Keala Kennelly, and special host Chris Cote. There were also several other smaller shows throughout the week including a performance by local band Totoy on Thursday night. Destino Los Cabos was a proud sponsor of the 2017 Los Cabos Open of Surf!
