Peru celebrated the Fiestas Patrias July 28th and 29th. Huanchaco was full of visitors from across the country and locals celebrated with fireworks, a dance party and a national surf competition. The surf competition was the main attraction of the weekend and was close to many volunteers hearts as they watched local friends compete. The highlight of the competition was the win by fourteen year old Juninho Urcia whose family hosts Otra Cosa volunteers. Juninho won the 14 and under, 16 and under and all-around open competitions. This year’s win makes Juninho the first person to ever win the 14 and under competition 3 years in a row. And is the first time a fourteen year old has won all three categories of a Peruvian national surf competition including the open division. Congratulations Juninho and the Urcia family.
