GoPro presents the news of the day.
The 2019 World Surfing Championship will feature the best surfers in the world.
In what will be one of the world championships with the largest presence of CT surfers, this is how the 2019 World Surfing Games of the International Surfing Association (ISA) will be run.
This year, the world's premier international surfing event will be held in Miyazaki, Japan, between September 7 and 15.
The presence of the world's best surfers is guaranteed, because athletes who choose to attend the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games must comply with the requirements of their federations to attend the 2019 and 2020 World Surfing Games.
Countries such as Brazil, the United States, Australia, among others, will travel to Japanese soil with their best representatives in search of the top positions and candidacies for the Olympics, which will be defined until the end of the 2020 World Games due to the qualification criteria.
Our country will face the competition with its best possible team and will seek to enter the top 10 after finishing in twelfth position in the last world championship.

Men's Open:
- Carlos Muñoz
- Noe Mar McGonagle
