If you had to pick a wave to make a statement, Punta Roca in El Salvador would be high on the list.
Fast, powerful, and as picture-perfect as a wave gets. It’s the ideal stage for the El Salvador Surf City Pro, a key stop on the World Surf League Championship Tour.
Two names you’ll want to keep a close eye on? Lakey Peterson and Kirra Pinkerton. Both are rolling into El Salvador with us backin’ them up, and both have the skills to dominate the competition.
What To Watch Out For
Let’s start with Lakey Peterson. She’s no stranger to high-performance waves, and Punta Roca’s right-hand point break plays right into her strengths: speed, power, and technical precision. Expect her to find the best lines, carve up the long walls, and attack sections with her signature frontside snap. If there’s ever a moment to remind the world why she’s one of the most well-rounded surfers on tour, this is it.


Then there’s injury replacement wildcard Kirra Pinkerton. She’s hungry, she’s dynamic, and she’s making her presence known in a big way. Punta Roca’s long right-handers suit her aggressive, fearless approach. She’s got the powerful turns, impeccable timing, and raw energy to go deep in this event—and you better believe she’ll be putting it all on display.

Why Punta Roca is the Perfect Setting
As for El Salvador itself? It’s a dream setup. Think warm water, perfect waves, and a laid-back surf scene where post-surf beers hit just right. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why surfing is the ultimate sport and why destinations like Punta Roca continue to be a favorite stop on the Championship Tour.
