More than 150 surfers from 20 countries are present in El Salvador to compete in the fourth stage of the Latin tour, Surf City El Salvador, which is awarding more than $30.000 in prizes.

With that amount of people, an intense surfing session took place yesterday in La Bocana that lasted all day.

The waves broke with lefts and rights of four to six feet throughout the day; with more than 150 registered, it was a well-populated day in La Bocana.

From the first rays of sun to the last, a permanent crowd remained in the water.

These are some of the moments captured by the event's photographer, the legendary Philip Demarsan.

Below are:
