Luis is Pro Junior Champion

Last weekend was the final of a series of 8 events for the UK Pro Surf Tour.
Not only did Luis win the final event in Newquay but he also claimed the UK PRO JUNIOR CHAMPION title and was named  Most Promising Junior for 2011.

At the Gala dinner, Luis was called when they announced the Most Promising Junior title....he was speechless, totally took him by surprise. He is not one for big speeches so, having to do 2...was a major thing :)

A great way to finish the year for Luis and big congratulations to him.

Thank you to all the sponsors and organizes of the Tour for making it happen :)
