The Sports Syndicate's Miguel Pupo finished in 2nd place during the Mens Surf Final at the ASP Prime Nike US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, CA. Culminating a week-long battle at the iconic venue in dramatic fashion, the Brazilian put on an incredible show throughout the Final in front of the tens of thousands in attendance and the massive online audience. Pupo consistently strung together some of the highest scores throughout the entirety of the Nike Lowers Pro including a standout victory over Kelly Slater (USA), 40, in their Semifinals bout, but was unable to overtake Julian Wilson in the Final and finished runner-up. “I’ve had a great week and I had such amazing heats with Filipe (Toledo) and Kelly (Slater) and I’m learning every heat,” Pupo said. “I beat Kelly, but I knew Julian (Wilson) was going to be a tough one. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a good result and I’ve been working hard. It feels good to see the result come and I’ll be working hard for Tahiti.” For more coverage of Miguel from the Nike US Open of Surfing visit the www.usopenofsurfing.com website.
