Miguel Pupo (born November 19, 1991, in Itanhaém, São Paulo) is a Brazilian professional surfer who is in the World Surf League.

Career

Miguel started on the circuit competing in the Qualifying Series in 2008.[2] In 2011 he won his first 2 stages of the Qs[3] and competed for the first time on the WSL World Circuit. Since 2012 he has been a member of the elite of World Surfing. His best result was in 2022 when he ranked sixth[4] in the World Ranking and almost participated in the WSL Finals. He also won his first stage at the CT in Teahupoo, when he beat Frenchman Kauli Vaast in the decision.[5][6]

In the 2023 season, Miguel competed in the first three CT events, but was out of the last 2 before the mid-season cut due to injury. Because of the injury and his history on the CT, he received the Season Wildcard for the 2024 season.[7] In the next season, he was eliminated from the CT in the mid-season cut, but finished 6th place in the Challenger Series that same year and returned to the CT.[8]
