Pierre Maixert was with great expectations about the Brazilian Stage of 9th Jet Waves, even so he just doesn't know as he will do in the weekend, because his jet-ski didn't arrive on time for the competition.

"This beach is fantastic!" he comments, therefore is close to Itajaí and Camboriu, cities that he liked a lot and where he could make a great show for lots of people that were at the beach this weekend.

In Pierre's opinion, the stage accomplished in the weekend that passed went to best, perhaps even better than Friday and the seventh stages accomplished in Imbituba.

Pierre also went to the last battery against the French Gil Beurnier very concentrated and gave a big show to everyone that were at the Brave beach worthy of one of the best freeriders of the history of the jet-ski world. In to final Pierre was very luck, because Gil's jet had problem, then when leaving of the water it was not necessary to hear the final result, because everybody already knew who was the champion.
