Brazil isn´t ready to have a world champion in surfing. No doubt, Brazil is one of the best countrys in surf nowadays. We have a lot of surfers compieting in the WCT (World Championship Tour) and every year more and more brazilian surfers enter in the WCT and have a great qualification in the WQS (World Qualifing Series ), but australians, americans and hawaians have something that we don´t have : a world champion. The asnwer is not hard to find. Althought USA and Australia are developed countries and their surfers have much more sponsor support and receive more money, the brazilians waves are not as good as the World Championship waves, and the brazilians dont have the determination to improve to surf bigger waves. Adriano de Souza, for example, won easily the brazilian championship last year. No doubt, he is the best surfer in brazil, but in the World Tour, he cant achieve the same results. If he and other brazilian surfers worked on bigger waves and received more help by the sponsors, Brazil would be ready to have a world champion.
