Triple merit

Last weekend in the women's division, Rachel Agüero took second place , while Mikela Castro , at just 11 years old, finished third as one of the great promises of national surfing.

 

Fourth place went to Lía Díaz , a local from Playa Negra in Santa Cruz, Guanacaste, who competed in three consecutive finals without a break between series (first place in women's longboard , third place in men's longboard and fourth place in women's open ).
