There was drama in each heat on the final day of the Surf-Freestyle discipline in Fuerteventura on Tuesday as one rider after another kept dropping sick tricks, each higher and more precise than the next.
Injury, innovation and pressure cooker heats punctuated the day where eventual winners Nia Suardiaz (ESP) and Christopher MacDonald (USA) were challenged at every turn, being put on the back foot for the first time in the competition.
