Hailing from Brazil and shadowing big names like Adriano de Souza, Wiggolly Dantas has slowly been making a name for himself over the last few years, winning the 2005 King of the Groms and more recently the 2008 Rip Curl Boardmasters in England.  Strong performances at Off the Wall and Pipeline have also turned heads and spurred thought that maybe he’s cut from a differnent Brazilian cloth..  Regardless, along with rippers Jadson Andre and Miguel Pupo to name a few, Brazil has some serious homegrown junior talent taking root.  Be on the look out for a stacked Brazilian contingent at this years finals in Bali with Wiggolly not backing down from the charge.
