The surfers competing had extra pressure to put their best surfing on display \\u2013 today began the first repechage heats. If a surfer didn\\u2019t find him or herself in the top two when the final horn blasted, they were eliminated from the event.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI handle the pressure by being relaxed, by thinking about something else, by getting distracted, because it can make you real nervous to think about who you\\u2019re competing against, and how the sea is going to behave,\\u201d said Lakshmi Camarino (ARG), who advanced in first place through her repechage heat. \\u201cYou just have to be relaxed, and trust in yourself and your surfing.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The record number of athletes (303) competing in Panama are the best junior surfers from 31 nations around the world. They are young, and handling the frustration and disappointment of not surfing their best and losing in a heat can be difficult to cope with.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;figure id=\\\"attachment_1000145889\\\" style=\\\"width: 640px\\\" class=\\\"wp-caption aligncenter\\\"&gt;&lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.grindtv.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2012\\/04\\/Matthew-Mcgillivray.jpg\\\"&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"size-full wp-image-1000145889\\\" title=\\\"Matthew McGillivray\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.grindtv.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2012\\/04\\/Matthew-Mcgillivray.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"Matthew McGillivray\\\" width=\\\"640\\\" height=\\\"360\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;figcaption class=\\\"wp-caption-text\\\"&gt;South Africa&amp;#39;s Matthew McGillivray. Photo: ISA\\/Gonzalez&lt;\\/figcaption&gt;&lt;\\/figure&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cBasically [the ISA World Juniors is] two contests,\\u201d said Llewellyn Whittaker, coach of Team South Africa, which has seven of its athletes battling through the elimination (repechage) round. \\u201cAt the end of the day, we try and pick up their spirits, because obviously losing is a bad feeling, but in this contest they\\u2019re fortunate enough to have a repechage. A lot of other contests it\\u2019s immediate elimination, so we try and get their mindset that it\\u2019s a new contest, a new opportunity and just take it one heat at a time, one wave at a time.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;After winning an ASP Junior Pro event just weeks prior to coming to Panama, South Africa\\u2019s Slade Prestwich was certainly circled as one of the talents to watch in the Boys Under-18s. Unfortunately, he had a uncharacteristically poor showing in Round 1 and found himself in the repechage. His coaches have helped him to realign any negative thinking that may have rattled his confidence.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI thought about it last night, and winning a world title is pretty good but I think winning a world title after getting knocked out in the first heat and coming back from the repo sounds better,\\u201d said Prestwich, who advanced through two heats today looking much more the threat he was perceived to be. \\u201cIt kind of gives me a bit of confidence to win it.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Much as it has since Day 1, the waves at Playa Venao shifted with the incoming tide. The beachbreak wave turned from a closeout into \\u201calmost like a Lowers right,\\u201d the world-class wave at Trestles in Southern California, according to USA\\u2019s Griffin Colapinto. Colapinto won his repechage heat with a score of 13.27, after battling flu-like symptoms for the past few days.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;figure id=\\\"attachment_1000145890\\\" style=\\\"width: 640px\\\" class=\\\"wp-caption aligncenter\\\"&gt;&lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.grindtv.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2012\\/04\\/Guadalupe-Sandoval.jpg\\\"&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"size-full wp-image-1000145890\\\" title=\\\"Guadalupe Sandoval\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.grindtv.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2012\\/04\\/Guadalupe-Sandoval.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"Guadalupe Sandoval\\\" width=\\\"640\\\" height=\\\"426\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;figcaption class=\\\"wp-caption-text\\\"&gt;Guadalupe Sandoval from Guatemala.

The ISA will invite the top eight finishing nations to compete at Riyue Bay on Hainan Island in China. Each of the seven aforementioned teams still has all of its athletes in contention.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Much like Colapinto, Panama\\u2019s Frank Curren had nothing but praise for the conditions on Wednesday afternoon. He advanced in first through his repechage heat, but fell short in his second heat and was eliminated. \\u201cIt\\u2019s so much fun out there,\\u201d he said. \\u201cI wish I could go back out.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Curren, who\\u2019s the son of surf legend Tom Curren, is competing for Panama despite living in California. His mom is Panamanian, and much of Frank\\u2019s family on his mothers\\u2019 side lives in Panama City, so he\\u2019s familiar with many of the waves in the country. Before this event, he didn\\u2019t know much about his teammates\\u2014but he does now.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cThey\\u2019re awesome; they\\u2019re all super crazy, like loud, but they\\u2019re all really funny and they\\u2019re super cool to hang out with. They always have the biggest smile on their face even if they lose a heat. They\\u2019re just amped because they\\u2019re surfing with their friends,\\u201d Curren said. \\u201cThere are a couple of those guys who surf really good and they\\u2019re super underrated.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Surfing action resumes tomorrow morning, April 19, with Girls competition.
