UPSETS AND MASSIVE WAVES ON DAY 5 OF THE PASCUALES BODYBOARD PRO 2026

Pascuales, Colima, Mexico — July 7, 2026

Boca de Pascuales just made history! After a 14-year drought since Mexico last hosted a World Tour event, this iconic beach came back swinging for its IBC World Tour debut. Mother Nature definitely got the memo, serving up heavy, extreme conditions with sets easily pushing past 10 feet, making for an epic day of deep barrels and high-flying air maneuvers.

Day 5 was all about Round 4 (the Round of 16) with some intense man-on-man matchups. The winners punched their tickets straight to the Quarterfinals, locking in their spots among the top 8 riders who will battle it out on finals day.

Round 4

• Tahiti’s Tahiri Tehei dominated his heat after pulling into a massive left hand barrel and launching a huge invert air that the judges rewarded with a 9.00, leaving local rider Ronaldo Hernández with no answers despite a great effort.

Heading into Finals Day

The next official event call is set for tomorrow, Wednesday, July 8, at 7:00 AM (local time), for what promises to be the final day of competition where the very first Pascuales Bodyboard Festival champion will be crowned.

Fans anywhere in the world can catch every single wave, replay, and the full live broadcast on the official platform: www.ibcworldtour.com
