ZIPPERS, Los Cabos/Mexico –US surfer, Dillon Perillo, has won the ASP 6-Star Los Cabos Open of Surf over South Africa's Beyrick De Vries, compliments of a dominant performance in clean two-to-three foot waves at Zippers.
Perillo wasted little time in the Final, posting an 8.67 and 8.47 for an eclectic mix of committed forehand maneuvers, immediately placing De Vries in a combination situation. Perillo turned up the intensity as the heat progressed, unloading the highest single-wave score of the event of 9.57 for an explosive three-turn combination, solidifying his first major ASP Men’s victory.
“I don’t even know what to say,” Perillo said. “Mexico is one of my favorite places in the world. I’ve been coming down here surfing with my Dad since I was a little kid. This was a sick contest. I was so nervous the whole time in the Final. I was just telling myself to breathe and try and relax.”
Perillo, a former standout on the ASP North America Pro Junior Series, has focused the last few years of his career on free surfing, but has returned his focus to competition in 2013.
