NEWS!!!
News, 20 February, 2011 : - - Acimba do Padre, Brazil -- Brazilian Alejo Muniz, 20, has won the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) Prime Event 2011 Hang Loose Pro Contest in a three-to-five foot surf at the Cacimba do Padre, Fernando de Noronha, island tropical located at 345 kilometers from the Brazil’s northeastern coast.
Alejo Muniz takes US$ 40,000 prize money and 6.500 pts for the ASP World Ranking. The runner up Dion Atkinson (Australia), 24, scored 7.14 pts in the final, well under Alejo Muniz who won the event with an impressive combined two wave heat tally of 13.00 pts.
To get into the final the Australian first defeated the South Africa’s Shaun Joubert in a very close heat where he scored a total of 10.44 pts over 10.06 pts of the South African. Then he faced Brazilian Heitor Alves, and once again Dion Atkinson won by a slight margin making a total heat score of 10.73 x 9.17 pts.
“I’m very happy for the result. Alejo (Muniz) got all the best waves in the final, also he fired the whole contest showing a very mature surfing, so he deserved this win”, said Dion Atkinson. “I really would like to win, but anyway it was good to make the final in this beautiful place. Few events are held in such hollow waves. It’s one of my favorite events in the world and I’ll still come back here in the coming years to try to win this fantastic event”.
