Today we celebrate the start of the grand finale of the ALAS Global Tour, the most important competition in the Latin American surf circuit.

A global-scale tournament

This year, more than 350 competitors from 27 different nations are participating, highlighting the truly international nature of this event. We’ll be seeing surfers from Latin America, North America, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia… all coming together to determine the circuit champions.
