Diego Medina steps away from the Chilean Championship

Diego Medina won the classic Héroes de Mayo championship, which finished Sunday, May 20, at the waves of Iquique.  At the final round, the Horcón-born surfer won over Ramón Navarro by a narrow margin.  Morris Tapia followed in third place and Reinaldo Ibarra in the fourth position.  With this result, after nine events and four to go, Medina reinforced his position at the top of the ranking, with 2000 advantage points over Ramón Navarro.

Among other results, Jessica Anderson was the winner in the Ladies category; Maxi Cross won Juniors, Guillermo Satt in Grommets and Reinaldo Ibarra in the Senior one.

All the Chilean and world fans have their eyes set on the city of Arica, where starting on June 15^th, the Rip Curl Search WCT trials will begin.  This is the fourth event of the Surfing Formula 1.  For the second time in history, a Spanish-speaking Latin American will participate of the world surfing first division.
