It’s been a rollercoaster week for Mateus Herdy who battled every emotion as his Championship Tour fate was ripped from his grip and placed in the hands of other surfers still chasing qualification. There was despair, agony and frustration towards the judges when his backside rota fell questionably short (0.03 to be precise) of the score required to keep control of his destiny. Then came elation, relief and gratitude when Luke Cassity knocked out Dimitri Poulos to guarantee the Brazilian a full time place on next season’s CT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new fire was lit in the belly of the Brazilian who has threatened so many times to become the country’s next surfing superstar, but, until now, didn’t have that final spark in order to ignite and burn bright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
