“Central America has world class waves, that allow their athletes train and reach the highest competitive level, and with the support of their respective National Olympic Committees, the countries in this region have a great future in the different Olympic competitions that are about to come”.

The inclusion of the Surf in this competitions shows the good moment and great acceptance that Surfing is going through internationally, just months away to know the final decision of the new sports that will be included in the Olympic Program.
