Hang Loose Santa Catarina Pro
GET READY FOR BRAZIL
Ace Buchan's Picks For 2009 Hang Loose Santa Catarina Pro
Brazil. For some reason it always seems to rank low on the World Tour surfer’s to-do list. I’m not sure why, though; for every sand-soaked peak, there are three beautiful women on the beach, and where better to perfect your aggressive in-water tactics?
Luckily, this year’s rescheduling of the Santa Catarina Hang Loose Pro and a heightened degree of parity in the 2009 ASP World Tour Ratings has assured a heftier guest list than that of year’s past. As such, Brazil provides a prime opportunity for Fantasy Surfer players to make strides toward the grand prize, a VIP trip to the Gold Coast for the ASP Banquet and the kickoff to next year’s ASP World Tour.
To give you the inside track, we caught up with Ace Buchan, a man gunning for his own grand prize in an ASP World Title, to find out his picks for the 2009 Hang Loose Santa Catarina Pro.
As a disclaimer, Ace is unlikely to compete in the contest after injuring his knee during a reconnaissance mission to Desert Point in Bali. If the injury is as serious as it sounds, we wish him a speedy recovery and return to the title hunt.
Without further ado, here’s the team to beat according to Ace Buchan:
Kelly Slater
If Kelly is going to go, I’d probably pick Kelly. I can’t really see him losing in beach breaks when everyone gets plenty of opportunities, you know? I think the reason he’s lost so far this year—although he hasn’t surfed that well—is that he hasn’t had the opportunities that the other guys have had.
