Punta Rocas, Peru, October 31, 2014 - The stage is set for the Finals after an intense Day 7 of competition during the Claro ISA 50th Anniversary World Surfing Games at the world-class pointbreak of Punta Rocas, Peru. On Saturday, the Open Men's, Open Women's, ISA Aloha Cup and Team Champions will be crowned.

 

Big shifts took place in the overall Team Points. Australia overtook the lead and Peru is now sitting in second. Argentina moved up to third followed by Costa Rica, Ecuador and South Africa. Full team standings here.

 

ISA President Fernando Aguerre commented: "They say that all good things must come to an end. Sadly, tomorrow is the Final Day. The waves were very nice and clean, and for tomorrow we are expecting bigger waves, for an incredible last day. Watch the finals followed by the medal ceremony. Later on Saturday we will all celebrate the 50th anniversary of the ISA, at legendary Club Waikiki in Miraflores, Lima, with a great Luau party."

 

On the Men's side, Argentina's Leandro "Lele" Usuna and Australia's Shane Holmes have advanced to the Grand Final.

 

Usuna advanced in first earning a 15.34 and Holmes in second with a 13.50, sending Nicholas Squiers from Australia (11.74), and Santiago Muniz from Argentina (10.23), to the Repechage, where they will have one more opportunity to make it to the Final.

 

Squiers and Muniz will be joined by Costa Rica's Anthony Fillingim and Peru's Joaquin del Castillo in the Repechage. The first and second place finisher will advance to the Grand Final.
