"Defeating Tim (Boal) and Marlon (Lipke) is something I will remember for some time," sagte Muniz nach seinem Sieh. "I felt a bit of pressure facing such good surfers but I really thought that focusing on my pleasure and having fun could get me somewhere. I think that's my biggest lesson from this event."

"I wish I could have got just one good wave to express my surfing and defend my chances," Lipke sagte. "It's been a good week with a great day at Guincho and I had good fun watching my friends Tim (Boal, equal 5th) and Joan (Duru, equal 9th) surf so well. I think Joan is the revelation this year."
