In two feet waves, the finalists of the repercharge and main event were defined in the seventh day of the ISA World Surfing Games. Only one day of competition remains now to see who will be the new World Champions and the Overall Nations Gold medallist.

Despite the conditions, amazing surfing action was on display, thanks to the likes of CJ Hobgood (USA), Luis Vindas (CRI), Kai Otton (AUS), Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), Matthew Moir (ZAF), Phil Rajzman (BRA) and other 16 surfers who did their job to reach the final day and the top 6 spots in each division. Out of the 233 surfers that started the event, the best 30 will surf tomorrow.

All the divisions hit the water today, with some “reperchargers” competing three times. Out of the whole bunch, only two survived and are now one step away from the big final of each division. On Main Event rounds, four untouched surfers are also one step away from the medals.

The Overall Team standings ratings are now like this:

• 1st Australia
• 2nd USA
• 3rd Costa Rica
• 4th France
• 5th Brazil

Costa Rica confirmed its status as the new great surfing nation, adding their name to the elite group of the world´s most developed surfing nations.
