PacSun USA Surf Team update from Costa Rica at World Games

August 3rd, 2009, 10:51 am by Laylan Connelly, staff writer

The PacSun USA Surf Team arrived in Costa Rica a few days ago, charging waves and dominating on the first day of the World Games in Costa Rica.

On the first day at Playa Hermosa,  all six American shortboarders won their first round heats in tricky three-to-four foot surf.

Going into their third day, and coach Ian Cairns sounded optimistic.

“I’m pleased with the effort so far,” said Ian Cairns, PacSun USA Surf Team Coach.  “The team is staying focused and we’re positioned well with everyone still in the qualifying rounds.  Where mistakes have been made, the team is learning from them.  Some of our guys got behind in their heats and had to fight their way back.  It’s good to see them bringing that passion and intensity forward as we move toward the later rounds.”

Here’s some fresh photos from day 3.

UPDATE: Here’s the latest video from day 4:
