Greg Arnette was the one who had the brilliant idea of founding his own brand of sunglasses inspired by "his way of doing things." A Californian garage was the perfect setting for the birth of numerous models in which there was a great deal of youth and new trends. The frames are enveloping, aerodynamic and, as it could not be otherwise, they offer total protection against UVA rays, since the most extreme athletes need to feel safe.
Over the years, what was initially the idea of a surfer who wanted to do something different by betting on a new business model, Arnette has become a brand to follow and greatly adored by athletes of all ages. areas. Surfers, skaters and snowboard are a loyal audience for the brand.
In such a way it became popular that today it has a team of surfers who will begin next Tuesday to compete in the XXIII Edition of Ferrolterra Movistar Pantín Classic. The World Surfing Championship test has been promoted to the six-star category and in this case it is presented as one of the most important events of surf in our country.
Surfing is one of the water sports that has evolved the most in recent decades. , being increasingly practiced. The team of surfers made up of three high-level athletes, all of Basque origin, attests to this: Garazi Sánchez, Indar Unanue and Txaber Trojaola. Will they be prepared for such an event? Let's get to know these wave enthusiasts a little more.
Garazi Sánchez is only 18 years old but she is already the number one surfer in the Spanish ranking and is in fourth position at the European level. His objective in this competition is to take advantage of the opportunity to gain experience while competing with the best international figures, training for this on the WQS world circuit. The World Qualifying Series is a circuit in which no Spanish surfer has entered to date and, despite her age, it will show that we also have very good athletes among our ranks.
Indar Unanue has participated in three world events this year. At 22 years old, he knows very well what these types of competitions are and has trained very hard for it recently in Africa, because he knows that for the Pantín Classic he has to be very fit. He prefers to surf big waves but in this case he is not going to waste participating in circuits like the WQS. At the European level it has the 5th position obtained in the international championship that took place in Great Britain last year. But at the national level he has won first place for two consecutive years in "La Galea", a big wave championship, and was proclaimed champion of Euskadi 2009.
Txaber Trojaola's 24 years have allowed him to participate in all possible events, as he has been immersed in the WQS circuit for quite some time. When it comes to competing he is fast, explosive and has a style that characterizes him. He has dedicated his entire life to surfing but 2009 was one of the most important years of his sporting career for him: he reached second place in the WQS 5-star world championship held in England. His best result since he dedicated himself to this sport professionally. It is currently in 7th place in the final European WQS ranking.
We will see how the championship, supported by the Arnette glasses brand, develops. During the development of such an event there will be a DJ, gifts, contests and rides on jet skis so you can enjoy the competition from another point of view.
