DANIEL FERREIRA TO COMPETE AS PRO IN 2013
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRASIL- After winning four amateur championships in the past two years, 19-year-old Brazilian Daniel Ferreira has declared his intentions to compete professionally beginning in 2013. The 2011/2012 FEBBRJ (Federation of Bodyboarding of Rio de Janeiro) Open Amateur Champion as well as the 2011/2012 Rio Carioca tour Open Amateur Champion, Daniel got a taste of international competition last year at the IBA world tour's events in Chile and Brasil.
His solid performances in the Trials at Itacoatiara not only caught the attention of some of bodyboarding's elite riders, but provided Ferreira with the extra confidence and motivation to decide to pursue bodyboarding at the professional level. For 2013, he plans to compete within the pro divisions on the FEBBRJ and Carioca tour events, along with select IBA world tour events.
