The emotions of the 2022 World Surf League season calendar continue and, above all, in the QS 3000 division. There the best European surfers are seeking to add as many points as possible, which will allow them to qualify for the Challenger Series. This is a division that is one step below the highest category of surfing worldwide, the Championship Tour.
Each QS event that takes place is very important for each of the surfers who will be surfing the waves and, above all, for those who have the most points in their sum; since they are much closer to being part of the Challenger Series.
This Estrella Galicia Pro Santa Cruz 2022, will be held from April 12-16, 2022 in Santa Cruz, Portugal.
The Best Contenders – Estrella Galicia Pro Santa Cruz – 2022 Surf – Men’s QS 3,000
Top 4 Men’s
- Adrien Toyo
Experienced French surfer Adrien Toyo was born on September 8, 1989, in Biarritz, France. This French surfer arrives at this Estrella Galicia Pro Santa Cruz 2022 with the firm conviction of making one of the best presentations of his professional career. Thus, reaching the Challenger Series for the first time in his career.
Toyo comes from a year of inactivity and, in 2020, his best result was #33 in the Cabreiroá Pro Las Americas.
- Charly Martin
One of the best contenders in this Estrella Galicia Pro Santa Cruz 2022 is the French surfer Charly Martin. At 32 years of age, he wants to play a season in the higher category, the Challenger Series; and for the second consecutive year. Martin is coming off a 2021 year where he managed to get good results in the QS, but, in the 2021 Challenger Series, he couldn’t get higher than #25 in the MEO Vissla Pro Ericeira.
- Ian Fontaine
Another veteran of a thousand battles on a surfboard in France is, without a doubt, Ian Fontaine. Ian arrives at this Estrella Galicia Pro Santa Cruz 2022 with two years of inactivity, so we will have to wait and see if the lack of shooting and friction in competitions affects his performance for this event.
In 2019, Ian took part in many events, with his best record being third place at the Senegal Pro.
- Pedro Henrique
Finally, one of the oldest surfers in this competition, the Portuguese Pedro Henrique, arrives at this Estrella Galicia Pro Santa Cruz 2022 with the mission of, like Adrien Toyo, reaching the Challenger Series for the first time after 12 years of competing in the QS. In 2021, Henrique achieved fifth place in the ABANCA Pantin Classic Galicia Pro.
