Brazil won, Italo won, Sofia had won. Slater didn't take any medals but he showed incredible form.

The sea entered Miyazaki in a disorderly but strong manner.

People came in an orderly and abundant manner to see the show and were thrilled with the presence of the best in the world.

It was a string of epic days and here's some of what happened on the final day as captured by the official ISA photographers.

Check out what Italo said here 

Check out how Italo won here

The poster that Tainá Hinckel made worked: "Let's go Italo," and Italo went.
The Japanese public proved to be very fond of surfing, the beach was packed every day, but today it was packed to the rafters.
Italo Ferreira on his way to the only 10th of the event.
Kolohe, who was quiet, almost won the gold, but had to settle for silver. It is amazing how the Californian has not managed to win a title in his career.
Medina put pressure on. The Brazilian had an almost perfect championship but was unable to take home the gold.
Pressing or flying, Medina.
The Brazilian team is full of energy. I'm sure these two will do well in Kelly's pool now. They are motivated.
Another point of view of Italo's aerial that was worth 10 points.
Getting a shout out from the champ is no small matter. Slater was a little frustrated when he found out he lost, but then he pulled himself together and was cheering everyone on.
Brazil won another ISA, a long time ago. How long ago? 19 years, since that World Cup in Maracaipe.
Japanese applause for the Brazilian team. There were people on the beach today.
There were people on the beach today x2.
Asian camaraderie, Shun Murakami took the Asian Olympic slot from Rio Waida in this series and this is how they greeted each other.
Shun Murakami's strategy is to push the board hard in the heaviest sections, which is how he beat Kelly in the repechage final and took home the copper.
This very friendly member of the Moroccan team left his mark on the sand of Miyazaki and in the hearts of those present.
Ramzi Boukhiam finished the event in sixth and has one and a half feet in the Olympics.
Slater and Medina in a pleasant chat after the series that Medina won and sent Slater to the play-offs.
It's not easy to focus when everyone wants a piece of you. Slater had a challenging and fun week.
Kelly hasn't competed in so many championships and completed so many aerials. And she's 47 years old. She's a beast.
Another who flew very well was Kolohe Andino, who is still without winning a major title.
Kolohe and the Japanese fans.
Brazilian majority in the CT, Brazilian majority on the podium at the World Surfing Games, power?
A team effort.
And just like that, Peru continues to achieve world titles, podiums, etc. It is just a matter of time before they return to the CT.
