On the weekend of February 16 & 17, 2013, the Malta India Junior Pro Series sponsored a Open Womens at Playa Jobos in Isabela, Puerto Rico. The women competed in a two day event in small, but fun conditions at this beautiful beach cove. This was the same spot that boasted the Rip Curl Pro just a week before. Thousands of spectators gathered to enjoy this contest, which gave away $10,000 in prize money total for the entire contest. Headphones, Go-Pro cameras, and beach goodies from local surf shop “The Room” were also added to the pot for winners, as a bonus to the prize money. The event had a big beach barbeque and a DJ spinning great tunes all day for the large audience to enjoy. Girls from up and down the east coast, stretching all the way from New York to Florida, and locals from Puerto Rico, all competed in the Open Women’s event. Congratulations to the winners! 1st place: Alexis Enstrom | 2nd place: Maria Kuzmovich 3rd place: Lilac Alvarado & Amy Murphee
