San Juan, La Union — Roger Casugay wrapped up an eventful weekend with a come-from-behind gold win in the SEA Games men's longboarding category.

Battling against Jay-R Esquivel, Casugay suffered a broken board early on his heat.

Esquivel pulled away in points. But aboard a spare, Casugay quickly made up for lost time and closed the heat with a nailbiting win over his fellow La Union surfer, 14.50 to 14.20.

Just this morning, Casugay had battled Indonesian Arip Nurhidayat in a rematch of their Friday ride. It had been postponed to Sunday when Nurhidayat's surfing leash snapped and Casugay had come to his aid.
