Peruvians Lucca Mesinas and Daniella Rosas made it to the final of the main event and are one step away from the grand final and the medals at the ISA World Surfing Games 2022.
In addition to displaying their characteristic talent, both were excellent strategists in a very inconsistent sea.
Mesinas waited until there were just under two minutes left to surf the only wave of note in his heat, a 9 that he earned after combining several backside maneuvers. Behind him came CT Kolohe Andino who failed to complete an aerial on the shore and left no doubt that the classification was Peruvian. In first place in the heat was Guilherme Fonseca from Portugal.
The main event final will feature the two of them alongside Kanoa Igarashi and Nat Young.
Daniella Rosas, meanwhile, made it through with just 4,5 in an even more inconsistent sea, sending CT Sally Fitzgibbons to the repechage and Portuguese standout Yolanda Hopkins. Also from Portugal, Teresa Bonvalot advanced first.
The main event final will feature these two alongside Kirra Pinkerton of the United States and Pauline Ado of France.
