Brazilian takes out Stradbroke Island junior surf comp

06 Feb, 2012 11:52 AM
Brazilian Peterson Crisanto has taken out the 2012 Oakley Pro Junior surf series at North Stradbroke Island on Sunday.

Crisanto beat Burleigh Heads surfer Thomas Woods to take out the $30,000 Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) prize after a 30 minute nail biting decider on Cylinder beach.

Crisanto now has a 2-0 lead over Woods in ASP Australasia Pro Junior finals, with the flying Brazilian also edging out the Australian in last year’s final of the 2011 Burleigh Heads Pro Junior; reinforcing a Crisanto-Woods rivalry.

In Sundays final Crisanto posted a combined two-wave heat total of 12.50 points (out of possible 20), including a crucial 4.00 ride on his last wave to snatch victory from Woods (12.25) in the final minute of the heat.

New South Wales Central Coast pairing Wade Carmichael (Avoca, NSW) and Jake Sylvester (Newcastle, NSW) both placed equal third overall, bowing out to Crisanto and Woods respectively in the semi-final round.
