2016 INS ISA World Surfing Games (Official event video)

The International Surfing Association (ISA) has announced that the 2016 INS ISA World Surfing Games will take place in the picturesque beach town of Jacó, Costa Rica from August 6-14, bringing the competition back to the country for the first time since the very successful 2009 edition in nearby Playa Hermosa.

Team Costa Rica, the champion of the 2015 ISA World Surfing Games in Nicaragua, will have the opportunity to defend their title on their local waves, and attempt to win consecutive titles for the first time since Team Australia did it in 2008.
