Punta San Carlos, Baja delivers once again. Day 1 of the 2014 AWT Quatro Desert Showdown saw the Women and the Pros take to the water as the forecast called for the best conditions of the week. After an introduction to all the crew and competitors at the camp, it was time to head to the point where the first heat of the day got under way.

The first heat saw Bernd Roediger edging out Ferdinando Loffreda and Larouche. Next up Casey Hauser put together a strong performance taking down Kevin Pritchard and Bryan Metcalf Perez. Heat 3 saw Morgan Noireaux lay down the two biggest wave scores of the pros so far to advance over Russ Faurot and Josh Steele. The final heat saw Levi Siver move past Kevin McGillivray and Joey Sanchez.

Pressure was on with the top two riders advancing to go head-to-head in the final. Roediger and Siver sailed well but couldn’t match the performances put in by Kevin Pritchard and Morgan Noireaux. The final matchup was set! The final was extended to 25-minutes and the conditions were firing. Both riders put on strong performances with aggressive powerful turns and huge aerials, but in the end Noireaux found the best set waves giving him his first AWT Tour win.
