The seventh and final day of the PKRA Freestyle Junior World Championships came to an end today. The final rounds of the double elimination were run and the two world champions in the remaining age divisions were crowned.

Awaking to the sound of crashing surf on the beach, riders gathered before a 10 am clinic. Overnight, the swells had built and over head-high waves were breaking more than 100 meters off the beach. Riders were amping on the thought of finishing the event in such exciting conditions.

Today’s workshop session was on the topic of judging. PKRA judging staff explained the scoring criteria and the fine points of adapting your riding with the judging criteria to maximize your scores. Eager faces watched a prepared video and the juniors took a shot at judging the tricks themselves.
