The entire men's round 1 and more than half of the women's round 1 took place yesterday at El Sunzal, breaking perfectly, consistently and with size throughout the day.

Below is a sample of the waves that broke through the lenses of the official ISA photographers.

Who says there are no tubes (or mini tubes) at El Sunzal? Just ask Declan Wynton.
