The gold medal of the Central American and Caribbean Games San Salvador 2023 Sindy Portillo became the most outstanding surfer at the Surf City El Salvador ISA World Longboard Championship 2024, a competition where she said goodbye on the penultimate day of the event that takes place in the El Sunzal beach, La Libertad.
The Migueleño surfer, Cindy Portillo, was the most outstanding athlete in the world event that took place in the Salvadoran waves as she advanced to the fifth round of the contest’s repechage and became the last of the host delegation to say goodbye to the competition on the penultimate day of the event.
Portillo finished in third place with 7.83 points with which she ended her participation, this below Alice Lemoinge, the Frenchwoman who finished with 13.27 and the Costa Rican Díaz with 10.50.
Portillo’s coach, Karlo Mejía, highlighted the surfer’s progress: “What we can analyze about Sindy’s participation is that there is enormous progress in her competitive level, remembering what happened last year when we did not advance from the first rounds. . Regarding this day, she is aware of what she has achieved in the quest to reach the final. It should be noted that in this edition more countries came, today there were 127 athletes.”
Mejía assured that more work should be done on the tactical part because “Portillo is very polite with her rivals, she waits for the other girls in her heat to take her waves and then waits for her priority, that is why now we are going to insist that she be more winnow and look for good waves”, he also pointed out that they will improve their diet with a view to other competitions.
The Salvadoran surfer won the gold medal in the longboard category at the last Central American Caribbean Games San Salvador 2023, with the result of 10.57. It is worth remembering that in this competition she also highlighted Costa Rica and Mexico, in lower positions.
