This was a very thrilling surfing semi-final that turned defeat into victory. The surfer fell all the way to third place who would be eliminated. He knew that the students, friends and spectators from afar were all looking forward to his amazing performance. Undeterred, he calmly followed the wave. Until the final countdown of 20 seconds, a small wave that would normally give up without hesitation. Unexpectedly, he stood on the wave and broke through the white wave. Immediately, bursts of cheers from the audience congratulated him on successfully advancing to the semi-finals.
