In the last manga of the day, Jonathan with two waves of 6 and 6.67 sentenced a manga in which weather conditions changed radically after a day of high temperatures in the city of Biarritz. Jonathan himself highlighted as he came out of his sleeve "the truth that was quite afraid of the wind that came in at the beginning of his sleeve, it even seemed that he was going to stay on the plate. I took a first wave of almost seven and then one of five and can be quiet the rest of the sleeve."

The second to compete was Brazilian Hispanic Vicente Romero, who to get into situation was given a free bath minutes before his qualifying sleeve.
