Brian Toth Wins ASP 4-Star Quiksilver Clasico Mazatlan

6th June 2011

MAZATLAN, Sinaloa / Mexico (Sunday, June 5, 2011) – Brian Toth (PRI), 26, has defeated Mitch Coleborn (AUS), 24, to win the inaugural ASP 4-Star Quiksilver Clasico Mazatlan by a score of 14.33 to 11.76 in inconsistent two-to-three foot surf at the Mexican lefthand pointbreak of Playa Camaron.

The inaugural Quiksilver Clasico Mazatlan is the first of four ASP 4-Star events on the 2011 calendar, offering up important points towards up-and-coming surfers’ ASP World Ranking.

Toth drew first blood in the hard-fought Final and unloaded a flurry of forehand gouges and carves to notch an 8-point score on his opening ride after a flat spell nearly forced a restart to the heat. The fiery Puerto Rican quickly followed up with a 6.33 on his next wave which proved to be enough to take out the Quiksilver Clasico Mazatlan.

“I can’t believe it,” Toth said. “Mitch (Coleborn) was getting scores all day and I knew he could turn a three-footer into a 7.5. I started off with that 8 and got another 6. When they said 8, I thought ‘this heat is mine; it’s got to be mine.’ With 10 minutes left I was just hoping it would go flat. Hats off to Mitch, he’s been ripping this whole event.”
