This day was classic — four men were competing against one another in the final of the El Ceremonial de Punta de Lobos, one of the best surf contests in Chile. This moment was so emotional, because the waves were nearly seven meters — these people have guts to get out in conditions like this! It was a powerful moment for the surfers.
