Tied in third place with a great performance on the waves, were Brissa Malaga and Karen Mendiguetti, both from Peru. On the other hand, the great favorite, Analí Gómez was disqualified in the quarter finals by Valeria Solé. Solé was a standout at the minor divisions, winning the Under 18 and Under 16. Repeating her last year LatinGirls Pro Peru result, in which she also won both divisions.
