Frederico Morais (Portugal, 24), winner of the 2016 Martinique Surf Surf #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 Surf #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.”
