Finishing equal 3rd at the recent Pontevedra Pro Junior in Galicia, Leonardo held onto his ratings leadership over Quiksilver teammate Vasco Ribeiro and has become the youngest to clinch the ASP European Pro Junior title to date.

Aged only 15, this win counts as Leo’s first major ASP victory and a clear sign of his ever-growing physical strength and competitive nouse in the last year.

Now based in Hossegor for a large part of the year, the Roma-born anomaly will be looking to put in a big performance at the up-coming Quiksilver King Of The Groms Final, due to go down during next week’s Quik Pro France.
