Adriano de Souza has applied himself tirelessly to his craft like the dedicated tradesman who’s the first to arrive and the last to leave the site, day in – day out, for over a decade. Today, his raw talent and workmanlike discipline paid off when he took out the WSL World Title as well as the Billabong Pipe Masters the way. Altogether an incredible solo effort, but as he himself was quick to point out, it doesn’t hurt to have good mates who know what they’re doing and are happy to help. Congratulations Adriano!!
