With the best young surfers set to begin competition in two days time, the press conference for the DAKINE ISA World Junior Surfing Championship Presented by Billabong centered around this future generation of surfing, and more specifically, the future of surfing in Panama.
This event marks the third time that Panama Tourism and the ISA have partnered to host an ISA World Championship event. In the short time since that first event, the 2010 ISA World Masters Surfing Championship, the sport of surfing and the lifestyle it presents has found a foothold in the local beach scene, the economy and the hearts of the Panamanian people.
