LA GRAVIERE, Hossegor/France (Wednesday, October 12, 2011) -- Gabriel Medina (BRA), 17, newcomer to the elite ASP Top 34 after September's rotation, has secured his inaugural ASP World Title victory, taking out the Quiksilver Pro France over Julian Wilson (AUS), 22, in high-performance three-to-four foot (1 metre) waves at La Graviere.
"This is the best feeling ever," Medina said. "I beat some great guys on the way to Final and I'm very stoked now. I want to thank all my friends and family and god for their support. It has been an amazing week for me. Just two years ago, I was here competing in the King of the Groms and I won that event and now I'm here in the main event and I've won it. It doesn't seem real."
