Hang Loose Santa Catarina Pro 2008

October 25th, 2008 by Adam

The 2008 Hang Loose Santa Catarina Pro starts October 28. The event is jam packed with local Brazilian surfers and only some of the top 45 ASP pro surfers. Some top names have opted out of this years Santa Catarina Pro. Some missing notables include 9-time world champion Kelly Slater, World #3 Joel Parkinson, 3-time world champion Andy Irons, his brother Bruce Irons, 2-time defending Santa Catarina Pro winner Mick Fanning, Bobby Martinez, and Luke Munro.

The ASP World Tour #2, Taj Burrow, has been very consistent in Brazil. He won 3 of his ASP World Tour career events in Brazil and looks to add a fourth one. With so many top ASP surfers out of this years competition, Taj Burrow will surf against the best Brazilian talent.
