In a few days, Magnum Martinez, a member of the Quiksilver International team, will travel to Indonesia where he will stay for about a month with Kalle Carranza (Mexico), Otto Flores (Puerto Rico) and Diego Cadena (Mexico). The main objective of the trip is to shoot the surfers in different waves for a future DVD.

“I’m pretty excited with the idea of traveling with my friends and a filmmaker since I’ve never done this in Indonesia. We will be a month ripping through the different waves. So I’m sure we will get very good shots for the future production”, said Mr. Martinez to Surfpress.

The great Venezuelan surf ambassador was intensifying his training in July with the professionals of Project Athlete, so that he could be in the best shape for the last competitions of the year.

“From the beginning of this year I’ve been training with Project Athlete people and I feel really comfortable with them since they understand what a surfer like me needs in the physical aspect. Besides, during my long stay at home I took time to test new Epoxy boards that Marcio Zouvi from Sharp Eye has designed. The boards are extremely fast, light and I have found them really useful up to now.”

Once the trip through Indonesia finishes, Mr. Magneto will be ready for the final stages of the ALAS Latin Tour. Mexico, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica and Panama will be the key stages to know the name of the next Latin champion. Magnum, the 2004 champion, as usual, will fight for the title.

Best competitor according to his colleagues
In the first edition of Olas Latin America magzine, Magnum Martinez was selected by his colleagues as the best competitor in Latin America. He received 47.8 % of the votes followed by Martin Passeri, his closest rival in that field.
