from Peru, 396 00:19:37,552 --> 00:19:39,261 {\an8}one to watch out for. 397 00:19:39,262 --> 00:19:41,805 {\an8}It's so good to see great talent coming out of Peru. 398 00:19:41,806 --> 00:19:44,433 {\an8}And it's good to see Sol coming through representing that region. 399 00:19:44,434 --> 00:19:46,602 She's so good when the waves get good. 400 00:19:46,603 --> 00:19:49,480 It's mind-blowing to see how explosive her surfing is. 401 00:19:52,233 --> 00:19:53,400 My name is Sol Aguirre. 402 00:19:53,401 --> 00:19:54,943 I'm 20 years old. 403 00:19:54,944 --> 00:19:56,862 I'm from Piura, Peru. 404 00:19:56,863 --> 00:19:58,697 And I'm a professional surfer. 405 00:19:58,698 --> 00:20:00,240 When I was growing up, 406 00:20:00,241 --> 00:20:05,203 surfing wasn't a sport where a lot of women could practice. 407 00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:08,999 So I've always competed against boys, 408 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,793 and I think that's why I became so competitive. 409 00:20:11,794 --> 00:20:15,047 I never felt intimidated by men. 410 00:20:15,048 --> 00:20:17,467 I knew I was as strong as them. 411 00:20:18,176 --> 00:20:19,843 The first competition 412 00:20:19,844 --> 00:20:23,931 that made me realize that I wanted it was when I was 13. 413 00:20:23,932 --> 00:20:26,224 It was the Junior in Brazil, 414 00:20:26,225 --> 00:20:29,061 and I competed, and I won. 415 00:20:29,062 --> 00:20:32,481 And if you won that contest, you were South American Champion. 416 00:20:32,482 --> 00:20:36,693 But I also see myself as an inspiration for my country. 417 00:20:36,694 --> 00:20:38,695 I'm so proud of being a Peruvian. 418 00:20:38,696 --> 00:20:40,614 Surfing has grown so much in our country 419 00:20:40,615 --> 00:20:43,742 because we're bringing so many titles and results. 420 00:20:43,743 --> 00:20:45,994 So it's a lot of nerves 421 00:20:45,995 --> 00:20:48,914 and expectations and pressure, 422 00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,583 and I'm ready to handle that 423 00:20:51,584 --> 00:20:53,544 as much as I can. 424 00:20:54,295 --> 00:20:56,171 Sol is so fun. 425 00:20:56,172 --> 00:20:58,006 {\an8}Her surfing is incredible. 426 00:20:58,007 --> 00:21:02,010 Like, she's got amazing angles, great speed and just a unique low. 427 00:21:02,011 --> 00:21:03,387 I love watching her surf. 428 00:21:03,388 --> 00:21:07,432 She has a really good backside and she's a regular footer, 429 00:21:07,433 --> 00:21:09,476 {\an8}so she surfs back side to the left. 430 00:21:09,477 --> 00:21:11,645 And she's very competitive. 431 00:21:11,646 --> 00:21:14,898 This year, I qualified in Puerto Rico for the Olympics, 432 00:21:14,899 --> 00:21:18,443 but not the best result I was hoping for. 433 00:21:18,444 --> 00:21:21,530 So my main goal after the Olympics 434 00:21:21,531 --> 00:21:24,324 is have the best result in the Challengers. 435 00:21:24,325 --> 00:21:26,326 Be on the top five, if I can. 436 00:21:26,327 --> 00:21:28,955 So it's a lot of pressure. 437 00:21:31,165 --> 00:21:33,876 {\an8}Got a new heat in the round of 48 for the women. 438 00:21:36,838 --> 00:21:38,130 {\an8}Sol going for it. 439 00:21:38,131 --> 00:21:40,633 {\an8}-Uh-oh. -Oh, no. 440 00:21:41,217 --> 00:21:42,760 {\an8}I like the intent, though. 441 00:21:44,637 --> 00:21:46,596 Sarah Baum on the backhand this time. 442 00:21:46,597 --> 00:21:49,016 Oh, that's a beautiful turn off the top... 443 00:21:49,017 --> 00:21:50,058 Two. 444 00:21:50,059 --> 00:21:52,437 That was well, well timed. 445 00:21:53,771 --> 00:21:55,480 This is Sol Aguirre. 446 00:21:55,481 --> 00:21:58,859 She needs to get going to get back into this heat. 447 00:21:58,860 --> 00:22:03,614 Currently needs a 7.5 to get to second place and advance out. 448 00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:11,789 Sol, you still need 7.5 to go up into second place. 449 00:22:13,291 --> 00:22:14,624 Here comes Sol. 450 00:22:14,625 --> 00:22:17,211 Looking down the line, is gonna throw it up there. 451 00:22:18,463 --> 00:22:21,632 And you can see the frustration, actually, in her body language. 452 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,968 You know, Sol put up a good fight 453 00:22:24,969 --> 00:22:26,720 with a couple of fours. 454 00:22:26,721 --> 00:22:28,722 It just didn't work out in their favor. 455 00:22:35,688 --> 00:22:37,439 {\an8}I don't think I surfed good. 456 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:42,486 {\an8}Every time I lose, no one can feel as much as I'm feeling right now. 457 00:22:42,487 --> 00:22:46,990 Like, no one can feel what 458 00:22:46,991 --> 00:22:48,867 the athlete, the one that competes, 459 00:22:48,868 --> 00:22:50,369 feels when they lose. 460 00:22:51,954 --> 00:22:53,246 I'm gonna cry. 461 00:22:53,247 --> 00:22:54,749 I don't want to cry. 462 00:23:10,264 --> 00:23:11,598 I mean, this is fun. 463 00:23:11,599 --> 00:23:12,849 This is really good. 464 00:23:12,850 --> 00:23:15,977 {\an8}This is the comp that typically people will take a turn. 465 00:23:15,978 --> 00:23:19,231 {\an8}Either, like, they're high in the rankings and suddenly they drop, 466 00:23:19,232 --> 00:23:21,316 they lose it for the last three events, 467 00:23:21,317 --> 00:23:24,152 or they're low in the rankings and they can make a bit of a break 468 00:23:24,153 --> 00:23:26,780 and they can get themselves even into a requalifying position. 469 00:23:26,781 --> 00:23:28,824 So I do have to kind of adjust. 470 00:23:28,825 --> 00:23:29,866 That's exactly it. 471 00:23:29,867 --> 00:23:33,078 So you're gonna have to learn to surf and change and adjust. 472 00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:34,371 You're very selective, 473 00:23:34,372 --> 00:23:37,749 so you'll go for a really nice wave like that, or a peak, or a peak like that, 474 00:23:37,750 --> 00:23:41,628 and you won't really take a wave that is not the best wave to surf. 475 00:23:41,629 --> 00:23:43,463 Unfortunately, in a heat like this, 476 00:23:43,464 --> 00:23:47,717 you might not get anything but average to poor waves 477 00:23:47,718 --> 00:23:49,469 and you've got to learn to score on it. 478 00:23:49,470 --> 00:23:52,597 -Scrappy, messy, ugly. -It's a level of, like, desperation. 479 00:23:52,598 --> 00:23:53,890 -Yeah. -Aggression. 480 00:23:53,891 --> 00:23:55,058 Yeah. 481 00:23:55,059 --> 00:23:57,144 Having my dad is really good 482 00:23:57,145 --> 00:23:59,062 because I crave the training and the mission, 483 00:23:59,063 --> 00:24:01,940 and having him there to work things out is so helpful. 484 00:24:01,941 --> 00:24:03,024 I love it. 485 00:24:03,025 --> 00:24:04,526 What do you want to work on? 486 00:24:04,527 --> 00:24:06,820 I've got ideas, but I want to hear your thoughts. 487 00:24:06,821 --> 00:24:09,906 My dad's been my coach for so many years, 488 00:24:09,907 --> 00:24:11,658 and we work together so well. 489 00:24:11,659 --> 00:24:15,246 My mom has to stay back in Australia, hold down the fort and earn the money. 490 00:24:16,205 --> 00:24:17,998 My parents have to chip in and support me, 491 00:24:17,999 --> 00:24:19,833 because they know this is where I should be. 492 00:24:19,834 --> 00:24:22,377 Part of my job here is to not... 493 00:24:22,378 --> 00:24:26,048 Part of my heart is to just, you know, make sure you're okay... 494 00:24:26,966 --> 00:24:28,425 because I worry about you. 495 00:24:28,426 --> 00:24:31,386 I want you to compete well because you want to compete. 496 00:24:31,387 --> 00:24:34,431 And I want you to surf well because you want to surf well. 497 00:24:34,432 --> 00:24:37,894 And if that makes you happy, we make you happy. 498 00:24:49,822 --> 00:24:52,115 {\an8}-We're on tomorrow. -Yup. 499 00:24:52,116 --> 00:24:53,909 How many times have you ridden this board? 500 00:24:53,910 -->
