Setting up the main stage
Simultaneously to the processes of receiving and welcoming the federations and surfers, in La Bocana of El Tunco and El Sunzal beach we are making all the preparations for the Surf City El Salvador ISA World Junior Surfing Championship 2022.
On site, work is underway to set up the main stage for this competition, a long stage following the coastline to accommodate all the surfers and their coaches, which will have different areas adapted for all the needs of the event.
Among them, we can highlight a special location to hand over the winner’s trophy to one of the 423 young surfers, who will be consolidated as the new best junior surfer in the world.
A specific area for the judges, which has to meet all standards in location, that will be placed on top of the tower so that they can clearly observe and assess the participation of the young athletes in the tournament.
In addition, a special area is being prepared for the competitors, where they will be able to prepare themselves before the hits, enjoy a massage area or consult the medical professionals.
And finally, we are also adapting all the facilities and installations around the area, both for the athletes and for the tourists who come to enjoy this event. Everything to enjoy the stay in Surf City El Salvador.
We are proud of our waves which will be the natural stadium for this world class event.
We are going to enjoy it very soon!
