Mateia Hiquily and Johanne Defay have conquered the first ever Surf Rias Baixas Pro, at the backup venue of Santa Maria de Oia, Galicia, Spain. Hiquily claimed his maiden ASP European Junior Tour win with a spectacular showing in the final. The up-and-coming Polynesian managed to keep his composure all the way and will be a serious threat in the coming seasons in Europe. “I’m so happy, in Gran Canaria I got second and I strongly felt like I could have won it there. Coming here, I’ve been patient and got the two waves I needed and I won, I’m stoked”, says Mateia Hiquily.
