Australia\\u2019s Jacob Wilcox wins Boys Under-16.&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Team Australia is the new ISA World Junior Surfing Championship Gold Medal Team and winners of the Team Champion Trophy.&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;In the individual divisions, Hawaii\\u2019s Josh Moniz won the Boys Under-18, Hawaii\\u2019s Tatiana Weston-Webb won the Girls Under-18, Australia\\u2019s Jacob Wilcox won the Boys Under-16, and Hawaii\\u2019s Mahina Maeda won the Girls Under-16 in the incredible waves at Playa Jiquiliste.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cThis is the end of an amazing World Championship. It\\u2019s a happy and sad end. We are very happy because it was a very successful event, but it\\u2019s sad because it means we have to leave Nicaragua,\\u201d remarked ISA President Fernando Aguerre. \\u201cWe have confirmed what we discovered last year, a surfing paradise. It was in our dreams, a small nation in Central America full of waves, offshore winds, good people and very accessible. Nicaragua has been so good, that all of us, the 500 people that came for the event, will continue to come back here and tell the rest of the world about it.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Aguerre continued, \\u201cOn that note, I\\u2019m very happy to announce that the 2014 World StandUp Paddle and Paddleboard Championship, will be held in Nicaragua in the ocean that gave us all these great waves, and also in their beautiful Lake Nicaragua.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;After a week full of excellent waves and conditions, the final day did not disappoint. The surf was in the waist to chest-high range with perfect offshore winds all day long, providing great waves for the surfers to perform at their highest level. The first final in the water was the Girls Under-16, where Hawaii\\u2019s Mahina Maeda, posted the best total heat score of the whole event, 19.16, earning the Gold Medal and World Championship.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI got a six and a five in the beginning of the heat. I got a great start and I was leading the whole heat, it was a great feeling,\\u201d said the new Girls Under-16 World Champion. \\u201cI knew that I needed a bigger score to build up my heat total. I know these girls are capable of getting big scores. I had the confidence in me, so I came from behind, didn\\u2019t hassle with anybody, and got the scores I needed. I\\u2019m really proud of myself.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The Silver Medal went to Tahiti\\u2019s Karelle Poppke (13.27), the Bronze to Hwaii\\u2019s Dax McGill (10.57) and the Copper to USA\\u2019s Frankie Harrer (4.86). Up next was the Boys Under-16 Grand Final. Australia\\u2019s Jacob Wilcox won the Gold, earning 14.90 points, in a very close final against Silver Medalist Leonardo Fioravanti (14.73) from Italy. The Bronze went to Jake Marshall (12.20) from USA and the Copper to Reo Inaba (11.76) from Japan.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cIt was a really tight heat,\\u201d said the new Boys Under-16 World Champion. \\u201cI got a 6.5 on my first wave, then Leonardo (Fioravanti) got an 8, so the pressure was back on me. I needed to get an 8 also. I\\u2019m just so happy to win the Final and be a World Champion. It\\u2019s been my dream since I was a little kid. I\\u2019m so happy. I don\\u2019t even know how to describe how I feel now. I\\u2019m just so happy, feels like I\\u2019m floating. This is my second year competing in a ISA event, and it means a lot to be able to represent my country, Australia.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Hawaii\\u2019s Tatiana Weston-Webb, continued her dominance, as demonstrated all week, into the Girls Under-18 Final. With another great performance, Weston-Webb won the Gold Medal.

It was a really long and hard week. Our team stayed focused on being a family during the whole contest, and I think that was our advantage. I\\u2019m really psyched to have a Gold Medal; I don\\u2019t have any words to describe it.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The Hawaiian, earning 15.50, defeated Silver Medalist Stephanie Single (AUS,12.10), Bronze Medalist Nikki Veisins (USA, 11.07) and Copper Medalist Chelsea Tuach (BAR, 9.17). In the Boys Under-18 Final, Hawaii\\u2019s Josh Moniz won the Gold after posting two big scores at the beginning of the Final, a 7.00 and 7.43, for a total of 14.43. Australia\\u2019s Soli Bailey followed closely, but couldn\\u2019t find a wave to advance over Moniz, earning 14.40 and the Silver Medal.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI was nervous, and I got my two scores in the first five minutes,\\u201d said the new Boys Under-18 World Champion. \\u201cI thought that Soli was in the lead because he had an 8 and a 6, so I thought that I still needed a big score, but once I heard that I was winning I was watching out for Soli, because he\\u2019s a super good surfer. I think he got a six on another wave. I got lucky enough and I won.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Andy Criere, from France, won the Bronze Medal, finishing third with 10.84 and Australia\\u2019s Luke Hynd won the Copper Medal placing fourth with 5.70. The last event of the 2013 DAKINE ISA World Junior Surfing Championship was the exciting ISA Aloha Cup, a tag-team competition, with the participation of the 7 best countries from last year\\u2019s ISA World Junior Surfing Championship (Australia, Brazil, France, Hawaii, Japan, Peru and USA) along with the local team, Nicaragua.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;It is important to note that Nicaragua was fielding its first ever Junior Team in ISA competition. After two semifinals where four of the eight teams advance, the Grand Final featured Australia, Japan, Peru and USA. Team Japan won the Gold Medal exhibiting a smart strategy and displaying high-level surfing skills. Japan defeated USA (Silver), Peru (Bronze) and Australia (Copper).&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Two special events took place today. First was a presentation from the people of Tola, which is region that includes Playa Jiquiliste, to ISA President Aguerre. Community leaders gathered and delivered a special gift in appreciation of the ISA coming to their city. Part of the presentation was the telling of the traditional story called \\u201cLa Novia de Tola\\u201d or \\u201cTola\\u2019s Girlfriend,\\u201d which has turned into mythical story about a social scandal between a couple.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The second special event was the \\u201cTola Groms Expression Session.\\u201d Team Nicaragua\\u2019s Captain, Jackson Obando, who was born and lives in Tola, surfed a 15-minute heat alongside four of Tola\\u2019s best young surfers. The local surfers put on a great show for the nearly fifteen hundred local spectators and competitors on the beach. When the surfing competition concluded, the Closing Ceremony took place to officially close the 2013 DAKINE ISA World Junior Surfing Championship and award the team trophies and individual medals.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;figure id=\\\"attachment_1000162637\\\" style=\\\"width: 640px\\\" class=\\\"wp-caption aligncenter\\\"&gt;&lt;img src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.grindtv.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2013\\/06\\/Josh-Moniz-ISA.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"Josh Moniz ISA\\\" title=\\\"Josh Moniz ISA\\\" width=\\\"640\\\" height=\\\"360\\\" class=\\\"size-full wp-image-1000162637\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;figcaption class=\\\"wp-caption-text\\\"&gt;Under 18 ISA World Junior Champion Josh Moniz from Hawaii.
