Brett Simpson, the "working man" of surfing, is low on the Qualifying Series (QS) rankings, and far from requalification for the Championship Tour -- for now. He dominated his Round One heat at the Billabong Pro Cascais pres. by Allianz, which bodes well for the rest of his run there. A QS10,000-level event, a solid result in Cascais could catapult up him the rankings, but there is a long way to go first.
Get a glimpse at his performance so far, plus his incredible run as a wildcard at Trestles earlier this month. Catch him competing live daily this week on the WSL app and website, through October 2.
