Costa Rica's Circuito Nacional Opens Jaco's Copa Mango
Everything is in place for the 10th edition of the Circuito Nacional DayStar, presented by LimeCarol. Called the Copa Mango, this year's first date will begin Saturday, December 19, and is categorized with 4 Stars — or 1,500 points to the winner in each of the 15 divisions. Scheduled to take place in front of DayStar's Hotel Bahia Encantada, this date will unite the best surfers in the country for the beginning of a six month journey that will see the Circuito visiting seven beaches around the country.
The last two times the Copa Mango went off in Jaco, in 2008 and 2009, the winners were Germaine "Nino" Myrie (Puerto Viejo) and Jason Torres (Jaco). Torres, however, may not even appear for this Circuito date as he has plans to surf at the Asociacion of Latinamericana Surfing (ALAS) Latin Pro contest in El Salvador, which happens to coincide with the Copa Mango.
"I'm not sure yet if I will be able to run the whole Circuit. It is time for me to leave and compete outside the country where some more important dates are realized," affirmed Torres, who has not been able to obtain a Costa Rica national title after coming close with two subchampionships in three years.
In fact, several Tico surfers may be absent due to that ALAS appointment, opening the way for an interesting start to the Circuito Nacional championship rankings. Several new faces may be standing in the winners podium on Sunday, December 20.
