SARAH-QUITA OFFRINGA
It was good times in Morocco! We were all very proud to have a women’s only event and grateful to Boujmaa for organizing it. It was cool to be here for the first week of the IWT and see all the other divisions compete and then all of a sudden it was our turn and the whole week was all about the girls. That was nice! The vibe between the girls is great at the moment. I remember when I got into waves a couple of years ago there were a bunch of rivalries going on, which was surprising to me coming from the easy going peace and love freestyle fleet. At the moment we’re a pretty tight knit group rooting for and supporting each other. And especially because it was a women’s only event, it created this extra excitement amongst all of us. There were still some high profile guys around, like Antoine Martin, Morgan Noireaux, Boujmaa Guilloul, Takara Ishii and some more locals, so honestly it didn’t feel like it was a completely women’s only event, but as soon as the event started the spotlight was completely on us. But besides that, hanging out on the beach or other activities, it was really fun to have all the other IWT riders around.
