About The Panama ISA World Masters Surfing Championship
The Panama ISA World Masters Surfing Championship is being held for the first time at Santa Cataina in Panama. It is the second World Championship to be held in mainland Central America since the 2009 Billabong ISA World Surfing Games that took place in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica. Santa Catalina is known for its huge barreling rights. Panama won the hosting bid over other candidate nations due to its great commitment to a better surfing future, a first-class and well-structured Organizer/Host, a coast packed with consistent waves and also to promote surfing in the region.

Panama is located in the center of the Western Hemisphere, it's borders are: to the North, the Caribbean Sea; to the East, the Republic of Colombia; to the South, the Pacific Ocean, and to the West, the Republic of Costa Rica. Panama is the link between Central America and South America, an isthmus of 80 km. wide in its narrower section, and traversed by the Panama Canal which handles 5% of the entire world's production.
