Felipe Pomar, World Champion Tsunami Rider

With the Panama ISA World Masters Surfing Championship right around the corner, the ISA decided to honor one true Master Surfer, Felipe Pomar from Peru, naming him the ISA Star of this month's edition.

Felipe Pomar set the bar early for Latin American surfers by winning the 1965 World Championships in his motherland of Lima, Peru. His unorthodox yet gutsy approach to surfing the tricky peaks at Punta Rocas earned him the win over some of the world’s greatest wave riders.
