Surfer Tim Boal has won the World Qualifying Series of the Association of Surfing Professionals (APS) in the 5-Star Rip Curl Pro Zarautz event last September 14, 2008. 25 year old Boal from Anglet, France beat out 19 year old Joan Duru who is also from France. Boal has now gone from a No. 5 p
osition to number three in the Association of Surfing Professionals’ international rakings.
Boal dominated the last day of the competition held in Zarautz, Basque. He gained an unbelievable 16.34 score tally. He left his closest competition Duru behind with a lot of catching up to do.
This is what the surfer had this to say about his win:
“I am so stoked to finally get a big win, I was able to get the waves and surf them well and it is great to getting the feeling right. That win is the icing on the cake. I made the final in California at the US Open of Surfing but failed to win it and it was a big frustration for me. I fell on lots of waves there and I just wanted to make a good final here to put that loss in California behind me
This latest win from Boal has given him a total of 11888 points. That alone has undoubtedly secured the surfer a position in the top 50 of next year’s Association of Surfing Professionals ranking list.
