Juan Ashton, The Super Master

In all the editions of the ISA World Masters Surfing Championship, the only surfer that managed the feat of claiming his title in two consecutive years in the same division was Puerto Rican Juan Ashton.

Ashton obtained his first crown on January 28, 2007, after shrewdly sliding the enormous waves of his hometown in Marías, Rincón, Puerto Rico, which broke at 10 and 15 ft on the day that defined the first World Masters Champions.
