The team will be coached by former professional surfers and former Ecuadorian champions Mario Gambellini and Marcos Goncalves. The Team Manager will be Sebastián Florido.
The backside attack of Zambrano and Barona is recognized as one of the best in America, the first one raised on the right-hand side of Playas and the second on that of Montañita, and has earned them several Latin and international titles.
Israel Barona and Carlos Goncalves are two talented surfers with a lot of international experience; both have surfed waves around the world and the youngest faces of the team come with Gemenis Borja and Susana Berrezueta.
If they place among the top seven eligible women or top five eligible men, they will secure their ticket to Tokyo 2020.
