Sensational performances from both Caroline Marks and John John Florence throughout Finals Day crowned them ultimate victors to close out proceedings. Marks’ astonishing form from the Elimination Round scare to the Final showed she’s up for the task to stay in the Top 5 and fight for back-to-back World Titles after going back-to-back here in El Salvador over Gabriel Bryan. The men’s finalist put on a masterclass of aerial antics and one of the most progressive showings in recent memory on Tour, but it was Florence who claimed the crown over an in-form Yago Dora for his first win since 2021. The dust has settled and the fight for the Final 5 narrows to just two events and everything left to compete for. The World Title race now heads for the Vivo Rio Pro presented by Corona June 22 – 30.
