Renzo Dañino, Director of PASA, said:

“The decision has been made to hold the competition under the format of four competitors in the water with repechage, which will give more flexibility in the event times to use the best wave and weather conditions, for the maximum performance of the competitors” .

A special congratulations to El Salvador government for holding its fourth consecutive international sport event so far this year, which has shown the world its high-end level at an organizational and infrastructure level”.

I thank President Bukele for his vision of surfing, and sport in general, as a development tool and a vehicle for positive transformation for this beautiful country”.
