Top class world surfers, the best waves possible, huge crowds enjoying the show. Everything came together on Sunday at Basse-Pointe for an exciting final day at the Martinique Surf Pro. In the end, it was the Portuguese surfer Frederico Morais (24), who won the only Caribbean leg in the Qualifying Series (QS) in 2016. He won the final against the Spaniard, Gonzalo Zubizarreta (30). Eliminated in the semi-final, the Brazilian, Deivid Silva (21) and the Australian Luke Hynd (20) took joint third place. Thanks to these great performances in a QS 3,000 event, these four surfers will leap up the rankings of the world surf qualifying circuit.


Frederico Morais (Portugal, 24), winner of the 2016 Martinique Surf Pro :
“That’s my first QS win and I’ve been waiting for this for a long time, it’s the best feeling ever ! My secret today was just to be relaxed and enjoy myself on some of the best waves I’ve ever had in a QS. This place is amazing, you can do airs, turns and big carves, you can’t ask for much more at a contest. That’s definitely motivating me to keep working hard and hopefully I can keep my momentum going.”

Gonzalo Zubizarreta (Spain, 30), 2nd in the 2016 Martinique Surf Pro :
“I think my last podium was in 2010 with my good friend Hodei Collazo and I got second there too, I really wanted to win this, but Frederico was surfing great so congrats to him ! My first visit in Martinique… it’s an amazing place, the people, the waves were really fun, the island is beautiful and I hope I can come back.”
