Puerto Escondido local Jafet Ramos won the first Mexican online surfing championship, the Surf Web Series, which took place over the past 10 days on the social media of Surf Open League, the tournament's organizer.

In the grand final against Kevin Meza from Baja California, both the judges and the public voted in favor of Ramos's tube at home, over the Kerrupt a carve of the Baja local.

The event concluded with a live broadcast featuring the director of Surf Open League, Gustavo Duccini, the judge José Ramírez Rito and the finalists, Meza and Ramos.

Jafet celebrated the victory, thanked his supporters and voters and invited them to a party to share the trophy.

Thus, purely online, a championship was concluded that had water in the eyes but not on the skin, that was experienced live but used archive material, that fully responds to the so-called new normal.

Final result:
1st: Jafet Ramos
2nd: Kevin Meza
3rd: Marcial Monreal and Rey Hernandez
5th: Vicente Trujillo, Sasha Donnanno, Diego Cadena and Dylan Southworth
