Just as he did in Lima 2019, Benoit ‘Piccolo’ Clemente raised the flag of our country again to be present on the podium, hanging the gold medal again in a few Pan Americanthis time in Santiago 2023. At 41 years old, the national surfer continues to be the lord and master of the South Longboard modality.
