Playa Popoyo, Nicaragua, June 4, 2015 - Day 4 of the 2015 Nicaragua Unica... Original ISA World Surfing Games featured male and female Main Event and Repechage Rounds. Surfers continue to surf hard representing their nations while the field of medal contenders narrowed.

 

Twenty-four international athletes were eliminated from competition in the constantly changing conditions that ranged from perfect offshore wind in the morning, to heavy rainsqualls in the afternoon.
 

Costa Rica's Leilani McGonagle took advantage of the morning offshore wind and posted the highest heat score of the day for the women's division. McGonagle scored 16.27 in her heat victory, and moved one step closer to the Women's Final.

 

"I am super stoked to have made that heat! The waves were super fun," commented Costa Rica's Leilani McGonagle. "I love this event because the teams are so supportive of one another. I really feel like my team is always on the beach screaming. We're like family."
