De Souza Talks on STAB Adriano de Souza is the current frontrunner on the ASP World Title Race. The fiery Brazilian has had an electric start to his 2011 campaign, including a fairytale victory at the Billabong Rio Pro, a standout performance at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach, where he topped 10-time ASP World Champ Kelly Slater and an electric performance at Snapper Rocks, where de Souza lost to Taj Burrow in Round 5 despite posting an 18.94 heat total. Although several critics may not have de Souza as their pick for the 2011 crown, the math says Mineirinho is the man to beat en route to the 2011 ASP World Title. STAB Magazine caught up with de Souza to break down his season thus far.

Few rookies have come onto the tour with as impressive credentials and the subsequent fanfare they warrant as the Sunshine Coast’s Julian Wilson. The progressive natural-footer had a banner year in 2010, releasing a highly-acclaimed film (Scratching the Surface), recovering from an ankle injury and qualifying for this season’s ASP Top 34 with some 11th hour heroics in Hawaii.
