Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 4 January, 2008 : - - Sydney Australia – An increase in swell to two and a half meters saw junior surfers face not only the possibility of elimination but also, raging currents and an exhausting paddle out, on Day 2 of the Billabong World Junior Championships, at Sydney’s North Narrabeen beach, today.
Former ASP World Junior Champion and current World No. 28 Adriano de Souza (BRA) set the tone with the day’s highest scoring heat, his intimate knowledge of the ASP World Tour format, earning him a 14.00 (out of a possible 20.00) heat total and a spot in Round 3.
De Souza’s return to North Narrabeen for the fourth consecutive year is indicative of the calibre of surfer the event attracts. His competitors at North Narrabeen this week, likely to be his rivals on the Men’s ASP World Tour in the years to come.
“It’s good to see all the guys ripping, they smoked me in the first round,” De Souza admitted. “I’m here because these are the best juniors in the world and they’re my age. It’s my dream to win at Narrabeen again and to earn the same number of titles as Joel Parkinson (the only two time winner of this event).”
