IN OTHER WORDS

Adriano de Souza, t he 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!
