With the unparalleled ability to distinguish “good surfing” from “great surfing” these champions of the sport soldier from event to event, putting in the longest hours, making the toughest calls and, ultimately, determining the undisputed ASP World Champion. Victoria’s Richard Porta sits at the head of the judging table this year and Australia’s Surfing Life (ASL) magazine caught up with the shot-caller to pick the brain of the man who wields the unholy power of scoring the world’s best surfing. Alejo’s African Journey on SURFING Alejo Muniz (BRA), 20, current ASP Dream Tour rookie and the youngest competitor among the Top 34, has emerged as a leader amidst the hotbed of rising South American talent that is currently making noise throughout the surfing world.

SURFING Magazine recently posted this video of Muniz’s impressive aerial assault on the rippable African lineup.
