Spain put a lot of resources into achieving Olympic qualification in the lead-up period, putting in one of the best training sessions ever seen, training in different stops and ultimately falling just short.

They have just won medals at the SUP World Championships in Puerto Rico, the Para Surfing World Championships in Pismo, and the Junior World Championships that also took place in El Salvador.
