MEN’S
It seemed like Marc Paré had the event wrapped up after he clocked up a colossal 8.83 scoring wave alongside a 6.0 but towards the end of the heat Browne busted out a perfect goiter alongside several powerful turns to clinch the victory with a 7.17 and 7.97.
MARCILIO BROWNE
“It was a super fun event and it was amazing to finish in perfect conditions in Topocalma. I was on a 4.5m Goya Banzaii 11, with my small board. I could not ask for more. We had so much sailing and I had a blast. The biggest part of the heat was just getting a wave. Everyone was trying to get priority out behind the rock, and then you’d come in just hoping the texture would stay in the water — because sometimes it would just vacuum the wind out. You never knew. I’m so happy, stoked.”
MARC PARE
“The contest was great for me and in the end I finished second so I am pretty happy about that with such tough competition. I used my Simmer Evoq 4.5m and 84L Flywave and then switched to the 4.7m and 88L during the heat. It was a dream to make the final, I was leading most of the way but Braw’ had that killer wave at the end of the heat. Maybe I should have waited outside, but I came in with a set thinking it was going to be a good one and then it just faded out.”
BAPTISTE CLOARAC
“It has been amazing in Chile, we had sick conditions and we moved to Topocalma for the finals. I was on a 4m Pro Black Ribbon from RRD. I was on a production board with K4 fins, 13.5 and 7’s. I hurt my foot two weeks before the competition. It was a bit broken and hurting me a lot. I did not know if I could compete. In the end I managed to go to the final and third is amazing for me. Everyone was ripping!”
CAMILLE JUBAN
“I was on a 70L AV board with MFC fins, which is a copy of one of my original magic boards. I was on a 4.2m S2 Maui Catalyst sail. Being injured I was happy just to get to the final. Even though I was last it was ok. I am happy for those guys that made the podium. I heard Braw and Marc both deserved it. I did not see their waves. Overall, it was an epic event and it was once again amazing to be in Chile.”
WOMEN
Aussie ripper Jane Seman stole the show in the women’s final with a go hard of go attitude, attacking the waves with no remorse to take the top spot. Time after time, jane Launched into aerials and attacked the lip with no remorse as she set the bar in the 27-minute final.

“The final was fantastic, it was like aerial city out there! The conditions were quite tricky being offshore and super windy. But that was so good for aerials, so that is what I concentrated on. I was just trying to smack some lips and get some big scores. I was overpowered on a Severne S1 4.4m. Chile has been fantastic. I came here with Jake my son and he just got third in the pro junior final. We also brought over Sarah Kenyon and Pete, so it was awesome to have an Aussie crew! We have had a blast in Chile!”
ALEXIA KIEFER QUINTANA
“It was amazing! I lost my first round at Matanzas but that helped me to realize the mistakes I was making. To finish in second twice in Chile feels amazing. It was great to be in the final with Jane, Maria and Sarah, congratulations to all of them.”
SARHA QUITA OFFRINGA
“I felt like I had a good mindset for the whole event, so I am really happy about that. For the final we moved to Topocalma, but I had not sailed there before. I was pretty nervous to sail there. It was tricky catching the waves because right behind the rock there is less wind. I was on 4.2m NeilPryde Combat with an 88L Hyper, which was the same size as the other girls. I was fine on the wave. I switched to 4.7m so I could manoeuvre a bit more. I am a bit disappointed as I wanted to go for 1st place. Third place is not what I was aiming for, but I am really happy with my riding in the final. Wave selection is what I need to work on. Overall, it was a really great final to be a part of. Just to be part of such a tight final with so many good riders; kind of like the young generation, Alexia and Maria, against the old generation myself in my thirties and Jane a Master! It was really cool to be a part of that.”
MARÍA MORALES NAVARRO
“I think the final was my worst heat in the competition, I think I sailed better in the juniors final! I was on a 4.2m in the final which was ok. It was super gusty. So next year, I’ll train a lot and I think it will be better!”
