Following six intense days of great waves and exciting Bodyboarding performances, the individual Champions of the 2014 ISA World Bodyboard Championship were crowned in Iquique, Chile.
Chile made history by winning it’s first ever ISA Gold Medal thanks to the 17 year old, Yoshua Toledo, who won Gold in Junior Boys U-18.
The remainder of the individual Gold Medal winners were: South Africa’s Tristan Roberts in Open Men’s, Portugal’s Teresa Almeida in Open Women’s, Peru’s Carolina Botteri in Junior Girls U-18 and France’s Amaury Lavernhe in Dropknee.
Day 2 of the 2014 ISA World Bodyboard Championship featured impressive scores and amazing performances by the world’s best bodyboarders.
Iquique continued to provide incredible waves for the competitors to put on a great show. On the second day of competition, the waves improved and increased in size to 4 to 6ft with occasional bigger sets. The bigger waves at Punta 1 allowed for deep barrel rides, radical air sections, and critical turns.
