Surf City El Salvador – May 8, 2024

The 2024 Surf City El Salvador ISA World Junior Surfing Championship (WJSC) continued into its fifth day of competition today, and once again the world class location delivered a full day of exciting surf in pumping waves. A slight decrease in swell saw an increase in high performance surfing as the more manageable four-to-five feet of swell allowed for a wider range of maneuverability.

The record-breaking initial field of 441 athletes was whittled down to 243 after a full day of repechage rounds. Across the four divisions of Boy’s U/16 and U/18 and Girl’s U/16 and U/18, 60 athletes continue to place in the Main Round, with 183 left in repechage, though the numbers of those remaining include some surfers competing across two divisions.

Team El Salvador had a great day with four big heat wins, and another three heat progressions, again highlighted by a solid performance from Julissa Moody, as their largest-ever team makes the home nation proud.
