surfing means everything to me it's almost like an escape from reality i feel super relaxed and super calm in the ocean and it just it's 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 is my life i'm pretty good and that 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 regard we're going to run 3 of geminis best stuff is trained here it's all they can do is competitions have badly been held over the past year shortly before surfing was set to make its debut at the olympic games the

world ground to a halt 3 athletes in limbo. my name is rachel press here i live and melbourne florida and i am a national search. term and. my name is don't grow and i was born in the one germany but now i live in portugal and i serve on the german flag or the german. my name is you know lots i live in public discourse and i search for the terminal and. rachel prestige and dylan clue in one to be the 1st german surface at the olympics. on the side of 2016 that lives with turned around. in rio the international olympic committee decided to make surfing and in pics. show free. bird. and very pretty. for. siri go saki surfing beach is set to be the scene of the

very 1st and then pick surfing event for germany 3 men and 3 women are currently still in the running for 4 tickets to take 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 writing their 1st waves at an early age. dylan clunes mother has german rates his father is south african and he lives in portugal. dollars basically a german writer where $1.01 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 germany's then top surface. he became his mental i was. really the 1st thing he gave me was a surfboard and all just so excited i couldn't believe it i went running. getting a surfboard from this professional surfer and his german this student has since become the master but 9 a is still a close confidant. rachael christie is from florida her mother is german the 18 year old is touted as germany's greatest chums 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 she didn't help 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 one surfing and super helpful whenever i'm down and always makes me sick perhaps. there 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. the artwork you know i mean you know because of olympics and everything we're mostly training right now is 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 series. 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 so that 6 feet above the lip the so they call tell har. feedback from because sometimes i could be doubting something so he doesn't and we kind of you know get to the middle of the we're all working.

something different right next time we go on the water we definitely think about what we've got to work on and will work on and hopefully they achieve and. probably working on something else or straight away there were girls 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. looking for the biggest worry for the most radical new for courses to wear currall the breaking part of the way with each maneuver getting better and better with more. power in flow. 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 market for the competition in his test run he awards

double points for the 1st wave at the end rachel and dillon get a close win and then added up it was 17.6 just 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 per year. is the best feeling to get your 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 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. but springy noise and so they're really good. beach ball which features the gemini

colors cephas receive funding as part of the program. they're the belle of thing our career towards olympics you know they have a lot of support from them and we are we have coaches the psychologist sports psychologist so they're definitely helping us to do the olympic dream and now that we have access to all of this suddenly our our surfing is just going beyond and yeah we're having a lot of chances winning contests and stuff so we'll see how the qualifications will be. the geminids 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 friend he just won her final you need to let me moment girl you. really should proceed like i'm going to do.

with bringing a lot to the table and the german team is one of the strongest teams right now little bastards in the evening dylan and leon can showcase just how strong they are in. their taking part in a local contest. tonight we got the night surfing looks like it's going to really be fun small waves though 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 that he initially struggles with. it's very challenging but also a little scary i can see much you know these lights actually help much but it's fun you know it's something new to me to surf at night and. we see all the next the next wrestler contests goes. dylan is also adjusting to the conditions the

competition is famous several top surface a currently training in costa rica and they using this opportunity to test them mettle. dylan makes it to the quarter final stage israel's journey ends in the semi's but the policy goes on deep into the night. from balmy costa rica to cold cologne at the inn in pick 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. writes one fuck yeah 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 family. national team coach when in which it 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 next i'm going. to be are a part of the olympic history. we're part of something bigger than just surfing.
