means everything to me it's almost like an escape from reality i feel super lax and super calm in the ocean and it just gets kind of afraid i'm for me. you can get angry sometimes but the feeling that i get the most is happiness and freedom. from surfing it's my life i'm free from their lives and the water in my surf board. costa rica's speeches by those 2 year round waves attracting surface from all around the world for the yard we're going to run so i'm 3 of geminis best stuff is

trained here it's all they can do is competitions have barely been held over the past year shortly before surfing was set to make its deb you at the olympic games the world ground to a halt 3 athletes in limbo. my name is rachel press here i live in melbourne florida and i am a national search for. them and. my name is don't grow and i was born in the leger made but now i live in portugal and i serve on the german flag for the germans for. my neighbors you know lots or i live in public discourse and i search for the german olympic team. rachel prestige and dylan clue in one to be the 1st german surface at the olympics. on the side of 2016 then lives turned around. in rio the international olympic committee decided to make

surfing and then pick sports. show of. bird flu. and very dark room for. siri go saki surfing beach is set to be the scene of the very 1st and then pick surfing a vent for gemini 3 men and 3 women are currently still in the running for 4 tickets to tokyo they live in the usa costa rica ecuador and the canaries all of them have german citizenship but most have never actually lived in the country. most skilled surface grew up by the beach riding their 1st waves at an early age. dylan quinn's mother has german rates his father is south african and he lives in portugal. alice basically a german writer where 101 and i was born a berlin and when i was 4 years old we moved to portrayal because of my dad's work

i went through a german school so there's a lot of german in. the 20 year old finished school 2 years ago and has been fully focused on the sport since then. at age 24 is already something of a veteran his family a from castle but he grew up in the costa rican surfing hotspot of onus when he was 9 he was discovered by gemini's then top surf. he became his mental. really the 1st thing. for it all just so excited i couldn't believe it i went running. getting a surfboard from this professional surfer and he is german the student has since become the master is still a close confidant. rachel christie is from florida her mother is german the 18 year old is touted as germany's great his chum's just surfing medal. in 2018 she was junior well champion the biggest international

success for gem and she started her career representing the usa but that she faced much tougher competition. especially surfing for germany it's really cool since i'm representing my mom's background and all my mom's family still lives and germany so i feel like i'm almost doing it for the family kind of thing tara lation ship with dillon helped to make the move they've been living and training together since they met at a junior competition 2 years ago he's super motivating when i'm surfing and super helpful whenever i'm down and always makes her happy. that was some difficult moments in 2020 the coronavirus pandemic brought competitive surfing to a halt rachel naomi and dillon couldn't compete an abrupt change for athletes usually on the road for up to 11 months a year the contest which would have determined olympic qualification was delayed by

a year 12 months of uncertainty without knowing when things would be starting up again. if they are at work you know i mean you know because of olympics and everything we're we're mostly training right now and we're still training and working out for the upcoming season. in jim hogan they have one of the most renowned surfing coaches in the world the american has known them for. several years and is in close contact with the german association reporting on their progress. today the waves are fairly small just like they're expected to be at sirica saki beach so they're working on technique. after 2 hours on the water they go through the session analyzing every move it's 123 because board 6 feet so that 6 feet above the limit the so they call tell har. feedback from because sometimes i could be doubting something

he doesn't and we kind of you know get into the middle of the we're all working on something different next time we go on the water we definitely think about what we've got to work on and we'll work on it and hopefully the chivas. probably working on something else or straight away there we go right now in the next session jim hogan has the surface go through competition conditions he's evaluating that tactics that choice of waves dylan is up against lay on rate chilled is facing australian pro michela green. building for the biggest wave or the most radical new for closest to reoccur all the braking part of the way with each maneuver getting better and better with more. power inflow. under time pressure the athletes have to choose their way and decide what moves they can pull off failed attempts will cost them valuable time in the competition. jim says that

the 1st wave will set the marker for the competition in his test run he awards double points for the 1st wave at the end rachel and dylan bass get a close win and then added up it was 17.6 to 17.30 that's about as close as you're going to get that was a good. new boards have a arrived from his. 3 boards each suited to a different type of wave. he uses around 30 year. it's the best feeling to get new boards because these will be your motors basically for the next qantas and the 1st thing i check when i get a board is is the likeness you know and also i look at the rocker it has fear that goes through the nose and also there is a there is kind of a noise you want to look for which is not very hollow you look for. springing noise

and so they're really good definitely each who would feature is the gemini calas cephas receive funding as part of the a live program. there's the elop thing our career towards olympics you know you have a lot of support from them and we are we have coaches a psychologist sports psychologist so there are definitely helping us to do the olympic dream. and now that we have access to all of this suddenly our surfing is just going beyond yeah we're having a lot of chances of winning contests and stuff so we'll see how the qualifications will be. the gentleman surface who wants someone ridiculed have significantly closed the gap to the wilds elite they've snapped up a few victories in the world qualifying series which is comparable to formula 2 in my just sports. great told the press

t v just won her final you need an enemy team or a moment goes by the rage of brazil is not going to be with a good. bringing a lot to the table and the german team is one of the strongest teams right now girl for us to sit down in the evening dylan and can showcase just how strong they are in playa how most are they taking part in a local contest so now we've got the night surfing and looks like it's going to be really fun small waves so this is something new that's coming into the industry so it's actually pretty interesting. so follow on has only competed in daylight surfing on to the floodlights is a brand new challenge him on the t.v. initially struggles with. is a very challenging but also a little scary and i couldn't see much you know these lights actually help much but it's funny you know it's something new to me the surface at night and we see all

the next the next rest of the qantas goes. dylan is also adjusting to the conditions the competition is fierce several top surface a currently training in costa rica and they using this opportunity to test their mettle. dylan makes it to the crucial final stage as leyland's journey ends in the sand maze but the policy goes on deep into the night. from bomb. the costa rica took old cologne at the a limp it based on rachel and dylan meet their national team colleagues 9 athletes representing a country that they're fairly unfamiliar with the german sports and lympics museum they receive a crash course in german sports history. and almost. no rights to influence the young being the whole team here i feel like we have built up such a good team spirit and we all get along with each other so it's like

a little family. national team coach llewellyn which is outlining the next steps leading up to the games. in may the last will be filled if things go to plan. and rachel have said that. the olympics are just the best of the best athlete so it's going to be really hard to make it i'm going to give it everything i've got and i think i can make it it's the most amazing thing ever i feel like i actually have a really good possibility of making it and that's what it pumps me up and excites me. to be already part of the olympic history. we're part of something bigger than just surfing.
