Staff A little while ago, Ross Williams was asked a question for the World Surf League’s Getting Heated series. It wasn’t an easy one to answer, but Williams didn’t hesitate. His answer? Rio Waida. The question was who he thought was the best surfer not currently on the championship tour. “This kid is unbelievable,” Williams said. “He’s super powerful, he’s really fast, he’s young, he’s fit. He surfs better than half the guys on tour right now, in my opinion… If he gets on tour, he is just going to demolish guys.” Watch that statement here, starting at the seven-minute mark.
