Australia has reclaimed the ISA Team Champions trophy, taking back the silverware they lost to the Americans last year to make it four championship titles in the five year history of this event.
Led by dual gold medalist Harriet Brown, the Aussies took 5x gold and ten 10x medals, comfortably finishing ahead of the French, with New Zealand and Hawaii almost dead even in the tight battle for third. Surprisingly, defending champs Team USA didn’t even make the top four podium, finishing 5th after a mixed bag of results this week in Fiji.
More analysis coming in the next few days, but in the meantime here are all the results from a memorable week in Fiji. Thanks to the ISA and our local hosts for bringing us to this magic slice of paradise in the South Pacific. But right now it’s time to go for another surf at Cloudbreak…
