Vania Torres Wins Third Straight Pan American SUP Surf Gold in Panama

The result strengthens Peru's Lima 2027 push.

Overview

  • Torres took women's stand-up paddle surf gold on Monday in Playa Venao, scoring 10.10 to top Brazil's Aline Adisaka at 8.50.
  • The win made her a three-time Pan American Surf Games champion after titles at Punta Rocas in 2024 and Guatemala in 2025.
  • Her result delivered Peru's first gold of these Games, and Tamil Martino added bronze in men's SUP Surf.
  • She said she managed a back injury and had little training because she had been filming the movie 'Amigo, por ahí no es' directed by Gino Tassara.
  • Peru fielded 22 surfers under the IPD's Lima 2027 program, which uses these Games as preparation for hosting the Pan American Games next year.
