The 1rst event of the world tour took place at the Murcielago wedge in Ecuador. Overall the championship had good waves, like usual at this spot, but not so big like last year's event. With all the best athletes from latin america the level was incredibly high. Alberto Colluci, Paulo Barcellos, Luis Villar and Uri valadao were just some of the guys who put up a show for the spectators. But big surprise was the winning by local Johnny Alcivar of only 17 yrs old! In the man x man final, Johnny took the crown with a big tube followed by a clean backflip. 2nd place was Erisberto Abrantes from Brazil.02/2006 03/2006 04/2006 05/2006 06/2006 07/2006 08/2006 09/2006 04/2007 11/2007 05/2008
