Overview
- The Surf City El Salvador ISA World Longboard Championship concluded on Thursday, October 22, 2026, with Piccolo Clemente taking the gold medal.
- Clemente beat Tony Silvagni (USA), Edouard Delpero (FRA) and Sam Christianson (RSA) in the final to claim the 2026 ISA title.
- During the event Clemente staged a dramatic early comeback that spared him elimination when he scored 8.17 and then a 4.40 with about 30 seconds left to win his heat.
- At 44 years old Clemente now holds four recognized world championships—two ISA and two WSL—and reports identify him as from Huanchaco though one source lists Cajabamba.
- Peru finished third in the nations standings at El Sunzal and Clemente’s result secured him a spot for the Lima 2027 Pan American Games, a development that raises local expectations for the home surf program.
