Playa Popoyo, Nicaragua, June 6, 2015 - The 2015 Nicaragua Unica... Original ISA World Surfing Games presented by Lafise and Claro kicked-off an exciting weekend of competition finals on Saturday. Outstanding matchups took place in the Repechage Rounds, before the ISA Aloha Cup closed out the day of nation-oriented camaraderie.
 

The entire day was full of impressive action, but the best matchups took place in the Repechage Rounds. Carlos Muñoz captured three Repechage heat advancements, two of which he won outright with scores in the nine-point range and the best air reverse of the event.

 

"I am super stoked and happy to make it through, we need the points. The race for the title is getting harder and harder for us," voiced Muñoz. "My strategy to reach the final is to save energy, relax, use the spirit of the team and keep having fun. It's just Surfing. Pura Vida!"

 

In the first heat of the Women's Repechage Round 6, New Zealand's Paige Hareb notched the first 10-point ride of the 2015 ISA World Surfing Games en route to her heat victory. Still, it was Costa Rica's Leilani McGonagle that stole the attention of the day defeating 2014 Gold and Bronze Medalists Anali Gomez (PER) and Philippa Anderson (AUS).
