Sergio Gadelha, WSL South America Head Judge had this to say:
I've got great expectations for this event. I really hope that with the return of these events to Peru, with its excellent waves and surfers, this begins a new era in the evolution of the sport of surfing in the country and throughout South America. Peru today is a force in global surfing. The surfers, promoters and event staff are all diligently working together with WSL South America to promote events throughout the region. On behalf of the entire event staff, I'm sure we'll do everything possible to carry out a successful event.
For the combined event, the men's division will distribute U$ 7,500 in prize money, while the women's event will be handing out a total of U$ 3,750. For both contests, the event winners will earn 1,000 ranking points valid for the WSL Qualifying Series as well as the WSL South America Regional Series. Each WSL Regional Champion will earn the right to compete as a wildcard in all of the QS 10,000 and QS 6,000 events in 2018.
