IN OTHER WORDS

Adriano de Souza, the number one rated surfer on last year’s World Qualifying Series, dominated the 2005 ‘QS with such ferocity that he can now lay claim to winning the second tier tour by largest margin in history. Coming into the 2006 Foster’s World Tour as the highest rated rookie, the young Brazilian will be no doubt backed by a supportive South American contingent while he racks up fans the world over. De Souza’s ‘QS prowess has helped him stamp his supremacy in the small wave regions. A little time on the “Dream Tour’ should show how he’ll fare in the fierce stuff. Brazil’s next big thing? Well, yes you could say that!
