Sam Reidy put on a good show but nothing could overcome Tao Rodriguez's line.
Havanna has established himself as one of the great talents of Latin surfing.
Mimi regained her confidence in this tournament.
Daniella couldn't beat Mimi in the final but she continued to show what she's made of.
Lolo won the championship without doing a single aerial... Classic, basic surfing with good fundamentals and power still wins championships.
Reed Platenius, a pleasant Canadian surprise in El Salvador.
The line of Tao.
Another revelation that the event brought: Maxi Sáenz, who is surfing very well. He came second in the youth category and fought until the end.
