INTERNATIONAL NEWS - The World Surf League (WSL) Los Cabos Open of Surf Junior Women completed Quarterfinal matchups and have Semifinals set in stone with a stacked field of international and North America region surfers remaining.
It was another beautiful day on the shores of Costa Azul as waves continued coming in sporadically, keeping competitors patient and wary of the ocean which would turn on at a moment's notice.
The Juniors were still able to find gems that allowed for maximum scoring potential and the surfers who used priority properly found themselves into the Semifinals.
Summer Macedo (HAW) took control of the day in both the Women's QS6000 and Junior events. Posting the Juniors Quarterfinal's highest single-wave score of 8.33 (out of a possible 10), and heat total, 14.50 (out of a possible 20).
Macedo will be unable to earn any points in the Junior Tour but is elated to get more heats under her belt and prepare for the main event.
"It's actually the best it's been the whole competition and I played the waiting game which was pretty nerve-racking," Macedo said. "I can't believe that 8 came and sitting in fourth priority I thought maybe something will come and then added a six so it was an amazing feeling. It was good not to wait around after the QS heat and get right into the Juniors to keep the rhythm with the ocean.
