Is Hedieferson Junior Brazil’s Next Jadson Andre?

Junior by name only.

Air reverses get a lot of shit.

Surfing’s vanguard has often pissed on this once innovative maneuver for its proliferation amongst the surfing populous, which is understandable. While the early adopters of this move have gone on to greener pastures (ie. full rotes, man turns) one thing has yet to change: air reverses can make you a lot of money.

If you’re trying to crack it on the QS, a solid, consistent air reverse will work wonders for you. Don’t believe me? Look no further than Jadson Andre. The guy has re-qualified time and time again based largely on the strength of this single maneuver.

Hedieferson Junior is an up and coming goofy foot from Brazil who reminds us a bit of Jadson in the sense that he has his half-roters on lock and a sticker full of sponsors we couldn’t pronounce if we tried. If there was a QS held in 2 foot left bowls (which they so often are) who do you have beating young Mr. Junior?
