The infatuation had been brewing for a long time, but that title marked the official beginning of searching for an answer to one question: Who’s next?
Gabriel Medina and Felipe Toledo are headed to the North Shore within reach of a second world #1 for the Brazilian storm. But here they are with fellow countrymen Miguel Pupo and Alejo Muniz showing their best stuff when they have some home cooking in their bellies.
