Alejo Muniz Wins Estoril Quiksilver Pro 2009 in Portugal | Portuguese below | en francaise ci dessous
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 25 April, 2009 : - - Estoril, Carcavelos, Portugal -- Brazil’s wunderkind Alejo Muniz (BRA) won the ASP WQS 6-Star Estoril Quiksilver Pro 2009 event today finishing on top of the final encounter against fellow finalist Masatoshi Ohno (JPN), clinching crucial 2500 ratings’ points and a US$ 25.000 cheque, the richest winner’s prize of the ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS).
Muniz, who went through five rounds today defeating favorites and ASP Dream Tour members Tim Boal (FRA) and Marlon Lipke (DEU) on his way to the final, secured his best result to date in Portugal and gets his 2009 ASP season going with a significant confidence boost.
Muniz, 19, whose talent and performances already rocketed him to the status of Braziliam surfing’s next best thing, dominated the Estoril Quiksilver Pro 2009 througout the week coming out on top of the pack with a couple of 9.60 point rides and an impressive 18.60 point heat combination on Day 3 of competition. Despite the tricky conditions of the final day, Muniz not only showed technical skills but came-up with solid tactics and maturity using his natural talent to defeat two of the world’s best surfers.
“I am just so happy I cannot even realize what I have done right now,” Muniz said. “My only wish coming here was to have fun as much as I could and enjoy my surfing in any kind of waves. It is the perfect day for me and I managed to get the best out of these conditions so I could not have hoped for anymore.”
Muniz, who will be surfing a few ASP WQS events this year, remains focused on his preogression as a junior surfer still and will use the precious 2500 points to build his seeding for 2010 where he shall be a serious contender towards a possible ASP World Tour qualification in the near future. Muniz finishes the Estoril Quiksilver Pro with six of the best 10 results under his belt, a good sign of his potential.

“Defeating Tim (Boal) and Marlon (Lipke) is something I will remember for some time,” Muniz said. “I felt a bit of pressure facing such good surfers but I really thought that focusing on my pleasure and having fun could get me somewhere. I think that’s my biggest lesson from this event.”
Fellow finalist Masatoshi Ohno (JPN), 27, became the first Japanese ever to make the final of an ASP WQS 6-Star event, the experienced competitor being another great surprise in the event after he defeated favorites Joan Duru (FRA) and Gony Zubizarreta (ESP) on his run to the final, two of Europe’s best chances for an ASP Top 45 inception. Ohno, who was running out of energy in the 30-minute decider, heads to Scotland with another keeper for his ASP World Tour qualification.
“I wanted to win and I lacked this last section on my final wave to grab the 6.00 points I needed to get back in the lead,” Ohno said. “It is my best result ever and I am so happy to do well here in Portugal, one of the European countries I like most. Alejo (Muniz) was impressive for sure but I was not far from clinching that crown. Definitely an excellent finish before the next event and a keeper for my main goal which is the ASP World Tour.”
Ohno, who was coming from an equal 5th place finish in Tasmania, leaves Portugal’s surf coast of Estoril with valuable 2188 ratings’ points and will be much expected in the upcoming events where he can certainly cause some damage.
Romain Cloitre (REU), 20, got his best result ever today by reaching the Semifinals of the ASP WQS 6-Star event, the Reunion island born surfer and former ASP European Junior champion confirming his rise in the last couple of years. Cloitre, whose best result was an equal 17 in the ASP WQS 6-Star Prime event in France last year, managed to defeat one of the event’s inform men Heat Joske (AUS), 20, in Round 5 before bettering Morocco’s representative Abdel El Harim (MAR) in the Quarterfinals.

“It’s been a tough week with the waves and I am a bit disappointed not to make the final,” Cloitre said. “Masatoshi (Ohno) definitely got the better waves and surfed them well and I think I lacked a bit of luck during the heat and did not have a great wave choice so I did not deserve to win that one heat.”
Cloitre, who used his renowned tactics and great competitive abilities to make it all the way through to the final four, heads to Scotland with a serious confidence boost and will be much expected on the hollow reefbreaks of Thurso’s area next week.
“It is my best result ever and I am stoked with this equal 3rd still,” Cloitre said. “It’s been a year only since I am full time on the ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS) and eventhough it is sometimes hard to get eliminated first heat, it seems like the experience is paying off. I hadn’t had any big result yet and it is just great for my confidence for this year.”
Other Semifinalist to miss out on the final today was ASP World Tour member and first German ever to qualify for the elite Marlon Lipke (DEU). Lipke, who was ousted by 19-year-old phenomenon Muniz in a wave-starved heat, left the water disappointed with his Semifinal run.
“I wish I could have got just one good wave to express my surfing and defend my chances,” Lipke said. “It’s been a good week with a great day at Guincho and I had good fun watching my friends Tim (Boal, equal 5th) and Joan (Duru, equal 9th) surf so well. I think Joan is the revelation this year.”
The ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS) now move to Scotland for the ASP WQS 6-Star Prime rated competition will start April 29, 2009

ALEJO MUNIZ DOMINA EM PORTUGAL
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 25 April, 2009 : - - Estoril, Carcavelos, Portugal -- Já em Portugal, Alejo Muniz foi o grande nome do campeonato desde sua fantástica estréia com imbatíveis 18,60 pontos, somando notas 9,60 e 9,00. Na sexta-feira, ele novamente se destacou ao passar uma bateria em que cometeu uma interferência no paulista Robson Santos. Como penalidade, só computou uma nota e metade da outra, com a classificação sendo confirmada em sua última onda, que valeu nota 9,40. Depois, conseguiu o maior placar do dia mais uma vez – 16,67 pontos – no último confronto do dia.
O catarinense continuou impressionando logo em sua primeira atuação no sábado decisivo, sendo recordista de pontos nas oitavas-de-final contra Vincent Duvignac, quando atingiu 17,33 pontos. Em seguida, despachou outro francês, Tim Boal, nas quartas-de-final e só encontrou um pouco de dificuldade para superar o alemão Marlon Lipke, que mora em Portugal e é uma das novidades da elite mundial do ASP Tour 2009, com um placar de 13,83 x 11,73 pontos.
Na chave-de-cima, o japonês Masatoshi Ohno tirou dois franceses e um espanhol para chegar na final. As ondas em Carcavelos já não estavam tão constantes, mas Alejo largou na frente com a nota 7,17 da sua terceira apresentação. O japonês não teve muita sorte na escolha das ondas e só na oitava tentativa conseguiu mostrar um pouco do que sabe para tirar uma nota 6,17. Mas, o brasileiro manteve-se na frente até confirmar a sua primeira vitória no Circuito Mundial por 13,00 x 9,57 pontos na primeira etapa do WQS que disputou esse ano.

Alejo Muniz (BRE) s’impose au Quiksilver Pro Estoril 2009
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 25 April, 2009 : - - Estoril, Carcavelos, Portugal -- Le prodige brésilien Alejo Muniz a remporté aujourd’hui le Quiksilver Pro Estoril, épreuve 6 étoiles du circuit WQS ASP 2009, à l’issue de l’ultime duel de la journée face au surfeur japonais Masatoshi Ohno. Le surfeur du Team Quiksilver empoche par la même occasion 2500 points et un chèque de 25 000 US$, prize money record sur le circuit WQS.
Pour accéder en finale, Alejo Muniz a dû en passer par 5 tours d’affilée et battre deux membres du Top 45 mondial ASP - Tim Boal (FRA) et Marlon LIPKE (ALL). Il réalise aujourd’hui au Portugal, la meilleure performance de sa carrière et voit son accession future à l’ASP World Tour sérieusement confortée.
Unanimement considéré comme l’une des futures stars du surf brésilien, le champion de 19 ans a dominé de bout en bout le Quiksilver Pro Estoril 2009 en décrochant des scores exceptionnels : deux notes à 9.60 points et un impressionnant 18.60 points au 3ème tour. En dépit des conditions délicates de cette ultime journée, Muniz ne s’est pas contenté d’étaler ses qualités techniques mais a fait preuve de sens tactique et de maturité, laissant son talent naturel faire le reste pour battre deux des meilleurs surfeurs du monde.
“Je suis si heureux que je ne peux même pas réaliser ce que je viens de faire” explique Muniz. “Mon unique souhait en arrivant ici était de m’éclater le plus possible, me faire plaisir en surfant sur n’importe quel type de vagues. Ce fut la journée parfaite pour moi, j’ai su tirer le meilleur des conditions du jour, je ne pouvais espérer mieux.”
Muniz qui surfera quelques compétitions du circuit WQS ASP cette année, reste cependant concentré sur sa progression dans la catégorie junior mais devrait faire bon usage des 2500 points glanés au Portugal pour booster son classement WQS et envisager, dès 2010, de prétendre à la qualification parmi l’élite mondiale du surf.
Avec 6 des 10 meilleures notes à son actif au cours du Quiksilver Pro Estoril 2009, le jeune brésilien affiche un potentiel hors du commun. “Battre Tim (Boal) et Marlon (Lipke), c’est quelque chose dont je me souviendrai longtemps” poursuit Muniz. “Je me sentais un peu crispé à l’idée d’affronter de tels surfeurs mais j’ai pensé que mon seul moyen de parvenir à gagner était de rester concentré sur mon propre plaisir et mon envie de m’éclater sur ma planche. Je crois que c’est la leçon principale que je retiendrai de cet événement”
L’autre finaliste, Masatoshi Ohno (JAP), 27 ans, est devenu le premier japonais à accéder à la finale d’un WQS 6 étoiles ASP. Expérimenté, Ohno a été l’une des surprises de l’événement en battant notamment plusieurs favoris tels que Joan Duru (FRA) et Gony Zubizarreta (ESP) sur sa route vers la finale. Ces deux surfeurs font pourtant partie des meilleures chances de qualifications européennes pour le Top 45 l’an prochain. Ohno se rendra en Ecosse avec des ambitions nouvelles pour sa qualification au Dream Tour.
“Je voulais gagner. J’ai raté la dernière section de mon ultime vague en finale et laissé s’échapper les 6 points nécessaires pour reprendre la tête de la série” relate Ohno. “C’est mon meilleur résultat et je suis vraiment heureux de faire ça ici au Portugal, l’un des pays que je préfère en Europe. Alejo (Muniz) a été impressionnant mais je n’étais pas si loin de m’emparer de la couronne. C’est tout de même un bon finish et un résultat décisif en vue de mon objectif d’accéder à l’ASP World Tour”. Auteur d’une 5ème place en Tasmanie, Ohno quitte à présent Estoril avec un gain de 2188 points supplémentaires et sera l’un des surfeurs les plus dangereux des prochains événements.
Le réunionnais de 20 ans Romain Cloitre (REU), a également réalisé la meilleure performance de sa carrière en accédant aux demies finales du Quiksilver Pro Estoril. Originaire de l’île de la Réunion, l’ancien Champion d’Europe Junior ASP a confirmé la belle progression effectuée ces dernières années. Lui, qui restait sur une 17ème place lors du WQS 6 étoiles en France l’an passé, comme meilleur résultat, a réussi à éliminer l’un des hommes en forme de la compétition l’australien Joske au Round 5 avant de se défaire du Marocain Abdel El Harim (MAR) en quarts de finales.
“La semaine a été dure au niveau des vagues et je suis un déçu de ne pas avoir disputé la finale” avoue Cloitre. “Masatoshi (Ohno) a eu les meilleures vagues, il les a bien surfées. Je pense avoir manqué d’un peu de chance pendant la série mais je n’ai pas fait un très bon choix de vagues alors je ne méritais simplement pas de gagner cette série là”. Fin tacticien et compétiteur né, Romain Cloitre participera, lui aussi, au WQS écossais la semaine prochaine dans les vagues de rochers bien creuses de Thurso.
“C’est la meilleure performance de ma carrière, je suis heureux de finir 3ème ex aequo. Ca ne fait qu’un an que je suis à plein temps sur les World Qualifying Series ASP (WQS) et ça fait parfois mal d’être éliminé au premier tour. On dirait que l’expérience commence à payer. Je n’avais pas encore eu de gros résultat et c’est du bonus pour ma confiance cette saison“ poursuit Cloitre.
L’autre privé de finale aujourd’hui est le membre de l’ASP World Tour et premier allemand qualifié pour le Top 45 de l’histoire, Marlon Lipke (ALL).
Eliminé par le phénomène de 19 ans Alejo Muniz à l’issue d’une série pauvre en vagues, Lipke ne cachait pas sa déception. “J’aurais aimé avoir au moins une bonne vague pour pouvoir m’exprimer et défendre mes chances. La semaine a été belle avec notamment une très belle journée à Guincho et j’ai pris du plaisir à regarder mes copains Tim (Boal, 5ème) et Joan (Duru, 9ème) surfer aussi bien. Je pense que Joan est la révélation de l’année.”
La journée a décidément souri au surf brésilien puisque c’est le compatriote d’Alejo Muniz, Jadson Andre qui a remporté le WQS 6 étoiles prime en Afrique du Sud, le Quiksilver Pro Durban, qui s’est également achevé aujourd’hui. Andre a battu le jeune prodige australien Owen Wright en finale. Le surfeur tahitien Alain Riou a atteint le 6ème tour de la compétition.
