Japan swept the top spot in all categories of the World Surf League (WSL) Shore Temple Classic QS 2000 and Pro Junior (JQS) at Mamallapuram beach on Saturday.<\/p>\n
After cloudy skies gave way to fierce competition, Japan turned on the heat.<\/p>\n
Ikko Watanabe (17.10) overcame compatriot Tenshi Iwami to claim victory by a 0.33 margin in the Open men\u2019s category. It was double delight for Watanabe as he posted the highest final score in the Shore Temple Classic.<\/p>\n
While Mirai Ikeda could only manage a fourth-place finish in the women\u2019s Pro Junior final, she clinched the Open women\u2019s crown (14.00) by beating the only non-Japanese in action on the day, Thailand\u2019s Isabel Higgs, by 1.60 points.<\/p>\n
