Each National Team consists of up to 4 Under-18 Boys, 2 Under-18 Girls, 4 Under-16 Boys, and 2 Under-16 Girls plus Team Officials.

The confirmed countries are Argentina, Australia, Barbados, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hawaii, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Russia, South Africa, Switzerland, Tahiti, Uruguay, USA and Venezuela.

“There are only a few days to go before the Opening Ceremony and the start of the 2013 DAKINE ISA World Junior Surfing Championship Presented by Billabong. All National Teams have been announced and the athletes have begun to arrive in the beautiful country of Nicaragua,” remarked ISA President Fernando Aguerre.

The ISA President continued, “The surfers will be practicing at the world-class point and beach break waves at Playa Jiquiliste in preparation for the World Championship that begins with the Opening Ceremony on Saturday and the competition on Sunday. Great surfing conditions and waves in the head high to overhead range in Nicaragua’s warm water are welcoming the delegations. As I like to remind all athletes, while a few competitors will go home with medals, all of them are already winners, as they are surfing as members of their National Surfing Teams.”
