Another season of the Costa Rican national surfing circuit has ended as Santa Teresa's Anthony Fillingim and Pavones' Leilani McGonagle were crowned the men's and women's national champions Sunday.
The 2016 National Surf Circuit kicked off this past weekend in Playa Cocles on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast with a panoply of talented young athletes competing on over 8-foot-high waves and in occasional downpours of rain.
