Surfing, Lisette Prado from Ecuador managed to get into the Pan American semifinals.
Three Peruvian legends: Magoo de la Rosa, Piccolo Clemente and Gabriel Aramburú.
Aline Adisaka, her good surfing and her good vibes, putting pressure on.
Venezuela's Edimar Luque started well, winning his round 1 heat but failing to repeat in round 2.
The ever-powerful Peruvian team finished Day 1 in fifth position.
Vania Torres is a talent without borders, she won a medal in Punta Rocas and in totally different conditions she also knows how to shine.
On her second day trying out a SUP, Estela López managed to get through a round and score important points for the Chilean team; when there is talent, the board under your feet doesn't matter.
Gabriela Sztamfater excels at big wave surfing but she showed her skill to advance in the two difficult rounds she had today.
With that impeccable backside, Lucía Cosoleto shined today in Venao, winning both series she entered and making it to the semis; she is the favorite.
Panama lost all four of its SUPers, but the team spirit was very strong, as seen in the photo.
Playa Venao is a paradise. While surfers do this, this is what happens in that corner.
The Chilean Franco Bono, a revelation at the event, broke the deadlock and made it to the semis.
The best surfer of the day was this one, the Mexican Felipe Rodriguez. 16,93 with a 9 included (the best wave), thanks to that radical attack.
And this is how Mexico celebrated what Rodríguez had done.
Luiz Diniz flowing; the Brazilian had a tight series in round 2, finishing second behind Tamil Martino.
Max Torres, a Puerto Rican with a mission. He was penalized with double interference but won his series anyway; another favorite.
The Brazilian storm is in Panama.
