<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Carla Morera De La Vall</strong> (ESP) and <strong>Francisco Ordonhas</strong> (POR) have won the World Surf League (WSL) <a href="https://www.worldsurfleague.com/events/2025/jun/459/edommo-junior-pro-razo/main" target="_blank">Edommo Junior Pro Razo Presented by Espazo Nature</a> in fun one-to-two foot surf to cap off the penultimate stop on the WSL Europe Junior Tour. The next and final stop in Morocco will determine the WSL Europe Junior Champions and the region’s qualifiers for the WSL World Junior Championships. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Spanish Star Carla Morera De La Vall Outsurfs Field To Claim Top Spot</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Carla Morera De La Vall </strong>(ESP) outsmarted and outsurfed her competitors once again to take her second JQS victory of the season. The 14-year-old showed maturity in her competitive approach in Razo, often coming from behind to take the win without allowing the pressure to overcome her. De La Vall’s success in Razo also means she’s created more breathing room at the top of the rankings.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“It feels amazing to not just have one win, but two wins this season,” said De La Vall. “It gives me a lot of confidence, and I’m really excited for the next event in Morocco. Qualifying for the WSL World Junior Championships has been my number one goal, and I think I have a good chance to qualify with where I’m on the rankings, so I’m super excited for what’s to come.” </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It was a nail-biting back-and-forth battle between De La Vall and <strong>Maria Dias</strong> (POR) in the women’s Final. Dias got to her feet quickly to put the first score on the board, but De La Vall was right on her heels. Dias was determined to improve her backup score, staying busy and catching plenty of waves. <strong>Lilou Rumiel</strong> (FRA) also took this approach, while <strong>Enara Palacios</strong> (ESP) waited patiently for better opportunities. Dias managed to improve her score, but at the same time De La Vall found a great wave and displayed her fast and powerful surfing to get the best score of the heat, edging out Dias by a small margin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">De La Vall comfortably won her Semifinal heat ahead of Rumiel to advance to the Finals, her third Finals appearance this season. Rumiel, in her final year as a Junior, earned a career-best result after finally making it past the Quarterfinals round and into her first-ever JQS Final. Enara Palacios (ESP) put on a show in the second Semifinal, taking out the win with a total of 13.60 ahead of Maria Dias (POR), and upsetting the No. 2 ranked <strong>Maria Salgado</strong> (POR). The 19-year-old Palacios earned a career-best result here in Razo after taking a break from WSL competitions last year, while Dias was back in the Final after earning a third-place finish here in 2023. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Francisco Ordonhas Puts On Class Performance For First-Ever JQS Win</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Capping off his final year as a junior in style, the 2024 European Junior Champion<strong> Francisco Ordonhas </strong>(POR) won his first-ever JQS title with an incredible performance in the Final. The 20-year-old goofy-foot from Cascais has had some mixed results this year across the Junior and Qualifying Series (QS), but something clicked into place for him in Razo, winning every single heat this week until he stood on top of the podium.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“It feels so good,” said Ordonhas. “It’s my first win in the Pro Juniors. Last year I was European champion, but couldn’t get a win. So I’m really stoked, I’ve been searching for this win for a long time. The conditions were tricky this whole week, but it was pleasant, because the weather was so good and little to no wind, so it was a good week.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ordonhas opened the Final with a solid 6.00 to take the lead and put the pressure on the rest of the field. He stayed busy, searching up and down the lineup for more scoring potential. He finally found it towards the end of the heat, throwing everything he had at the wave to score a 7.33. Time ran out for <strong>Conor Donegan Dos Santos</strong> (ESP) and <strong>Eder Fuentes </strong>(EUK) to try and catch up, and it was enough to secure the win with a total of 13.33, with <strong>Alfonso Suarez</strong> (ESP) settling for second place.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Eder Fuentes (EUK) finally broke his streak of 13th place finishes this season when he booked his ticket to his first JQS Final. Fuentes won the first men’s Semifinal ahead of Conor Donegan Dos Santos (ESP). Staying patient and waiting for the better waves paid off for Francisco Ordonhas (POR) and Alfonso Suarez (ESP) in the second Semifinal. Suarez was tied with<strong> João Mendonça </strong>(POR) on the scoreboard, but advanced thanks to his single best wave score of 5.27. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Razo Rearranges Junior Tour Rankings</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While the women’s rankings at the top stayed steady, there’s been more shuffling on the men’s side with one event left. <strong>Carla Morera De La Vall</strong> (ESP) remains in the top spot, with <strong>Maria Salgado </strong>(POR) in second and <strong>Naïa Monte</strong> (FRA) in third.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Alfonso Suarez </strong>(ESP) moved into the top spot with his runner-up finish in Razo, while <strong>Dylan Donegan Dos Santos</strong> (ESP) slipped down to second on the rankings and <strong>Francisco Ordonhas</strong> (POR) moved up to third.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The next and final stop is the Junior Pro Taghazout Bay in Morocco, with a competition window from November 5-9, 2025. The WSL Europe Junior Champions will be crowned after this event and the region’s qualifiers for the WSL World Junior Championships will be determined.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Edommo Junior Pro Razo Presented by Espazo Nature ran from September 24 - 27, 2025 at Playa De Razo, Galicia. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For more information, please visit <a href="https://www.worldsurfleague.com/" target="_blank">WorldSurfLeague.com</a>. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><em>The EDOMMO JUNIOR PRO RAZO 2025 Presented by Espazo Nature is an event organized by the Club Praia de Pantín / Classic Surf Pro and is supported by the Xunta de Galicia, Axencia Turismo de Galicia, Diputación de A Coruña, Consellería de Promoción do Emprego e Igualdade, Plan Corresponsables and Concello de Carballo, as well as sponsored by Edommo Espazo Nature, Gadisa, Jael Joyería, Caetano Fórmula, Ventores, Ópticas Noroeste, Intermax Technology, and Surflogic.</em> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Edommo Junior Pro Razo Presented by Espazo Nature Women’s Final Results:</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;">1- Carla Morera De La Vall (ESP) 9.40</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2- Maria Dias (POR) 9.26</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3- Enara Palacios (ESP) 7.53</div><div style="text-align: justify;">4- Lilou Rumiel (FRA) 6.93</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Edommo Junior Pro Razo Presented by Espazo Nature Men’s Final Results:</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;">1- Francisco Ordonhas (POR) 13.33</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2- Alfonso Suarez (ESP) 8.64</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3- Eder Fuentes (EUK) 8.36</div><div style="text-align: justify;">4- Conor Donegan dos Santos (ESP) 6.43</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Edommo Junior Pro Razo Presented by Espazo Nature Women’s Semifinal Results:</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;">HEAT 1: Carla Morera De La Vall (ESP) 12.26 DEF.
