Eighty surfers were knocked out of the 2012 ISA World Junior Surfing Championship. By the end of the day, just 116 of the record-number 303 athletes were still in the running for a spot on the three podiums. “I always tell the competitors, I know everyone wants a medal, but you’ve got to be prepared to deal with that not happening. You’ve got hundreds of kids with the same hope and goal,” said Fernando Aguerre, the president of the ISA. “That’s part of the beauty of personality, of character, being able to cope with defeat; that’s part of life. Life is not a rose garden. Life is a bunch of good things, of bad things, good times and bad times. You just have to use the good times as a springboard for the bad times and endure.”
