Makaha’s Melanie Bartels wins ASP Title!
September 20, 2008
Congratulations on your ASP victory in Rio!
For all you Melanie Bartels fans out there!! We have news for you! Melanie won the Billabong Pro in Rio Dejaniero Brazil on Sept 17, 2008. ”It’s an amazing feeling and I’m just overwhelmed right now,” Bartels said. “My last win was in 2006 as a wildcard at Sunset so to be able to come out on top today, in these conditions, is really special. The waves started to deteriorate towards the end, but I was able to grab a couple of scores against Sofia (Mulanovich) and I was really just surfing my own heat out there and doing my own thing. I was having fun.”
Melanie congratulations and I can’t wait to go surfing with you this winter! You are a inspiration and I wish I could surf like you!!
