The athlete, a local from Las Flores beach, San Miguel, took a wave that she maneuvered very well, but its size was not enough for her to show her best technical repertoire.

The Salvadoran was surpassed by Sam Christianson who achieved a score of 12.04 and the Mexican Jonathan Melendres who also advanced to the round by scoring 12.03.

Henry Salinas could not advance either, he achieved a score of 7.53 and finished in third place in round 3 of the repechage and said goodbye to the competition.

The heat was dominated by the Spanish Jon Garmendia with 12.24 points and in second position was the Englishman Ben Howey with 10.27.
