Special coverage presented by the Heroes of May Iquique Pro 

It was a day of only women at the Héroes de Mayo Iquique Pro, two rounds of pro junior women and two of the qs 1500 were held. At the end of the day, of the more than 40 opens, 16 ended up qualifying and of the more than 20 pro juniors, the best eight finished alive.

This is how the series of the best ladies turned out:

Round 3 ladies – QS 1500
Gabriela Bryan vs Coco Cianciarullo vs Bailey Nagy  vs Neis Lartigue
Nadia Erostarbe vs Dominic Barona vs Daniella Rosas vs Autumn Hayes
Jessica Anderson vs Emily Nishimoto vs Taina Hinckel vs Lucía Indurain
Sofia Mulanovich vs Meah Collins vs Julie Nishimoto vs Freya Prumm

Round 3 JQS 1000
Gabriela Bryan vs Sol Aguirre vs Isabella Saldanha vs Julia Duarte
Lara Barrios vs Taina Hinckel vs Daniella Rosas vs Julie Nishimoto

The Latin American majority that started the tournament was victim of the good surfing of the French, Spanish, Californian and Hawaiian women who had the best performances of the day.

Hawaii's Gabriela Bryan was the most consistent of the two divisions, winning all her heats and making it to the final. The Hawaiian said that with the exception of the cold water, she feels at home with the power of the Chilean waves.

Coco Cianciarulo, Nadia Erostarbe, Mimi Barona, Daniella Rosas, Jessica Anderson, Lucái Indurain and Sofía Mulanovich also stood out, all of them were involved in the decision.

In junior there were only two Hispanic Americans who made it into the decision: Lara Barrios, Daniella Rosas and Sol Aguirre.

Tomorrow will be a day exclusively dedicated to youth supporters.

The forecast shows that it will be the one with the lowest waves.

Nadia Erostarbe's backside is getting along very well with the waves of La Punta, she came first in her competition and doesn't want to stop until she achieves her second victory of the season.

Neis Lartigue felt at home in the waves of La Punta.
Melanie Giunta left the event early.
Maya Larripa, from Mexico and Argentina, surfed very, very well and it is surprising that she left the event so early.
Lucía Indurain performed this stylish turn and won her heat.
Lucía Cosoletto surfed well, passed her round 1 heat but was unable to make it through round 2.
Havanna Cabrero surfed well in her first heat but then couldn't do it in her round 2 heat.
Gabriela Bryan was the surfer of the day, winning all four heats she entered.
Mimi Barona surfed well and made it to round 3 thanks to her good backside.
Coco Cianciarullo surfed well, she didn't make it through her junior heat but she did make it through the open heat. The Argentinean, besides being active, surfed well and had a good strategy.
