After a long, windy, occasionally epic week in Southwest France, Phil Rajzman just became Brazil's first ever ASP International World Champion. The powerful regularfoot took down a diverse field of international longboarders of all shapes and sizes and styles, ultimately beating countryman Danilo Rodrigo in the final 15.00 to 12.30.
 
"Phil really deserves it," said Nat Young, the four-time world longboard champ and patron of the Oxbow Pro World Longboard Championship. "He surfed so strong and is such a young guy and of course the Brazilians are a real force in longboarding now, which is great to see."

"The support from Brazil, both here at the event and from emails and phone calls from back home has been incredible," said Rajzman. "This means a lot to the people back home, and, of course, to me. I think we will all have a big party when I return home."
