MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal formerly known asMEO Pro Portugal,Moche Rip Curl Pro Portugal orRip Curl Pro Portugal is a professional surfing competition of theWSL World Tour. As of 2022, held every year in March at theSupertubos beach inPeniche, Portugal.[1] The event was first founded in 2010 asRip Curl Pro Portugal.[2]
The defending men's champion is the Californian surferGriffin Colapinto who won the event in 2022 after the break due to theCOVID-19 outbreak. Before, Brazilian surferItalo Ferreira won the event both in 2018 and 2019, being the first back-to-back winner ever on the event.[3][4]
The defending women's champion is the Brasilian goofy-footed surferTatiana Weston-Webb, who beat American runner-upLakey Peterson in 2022.
In 2016, due to the lack of surfing conditions onSupertubos beach, theWSL organization explored other possibilities in the peninsula and moved temporarily to Point Fabril, betweenAlmagreira and Pico da Mota, where the waves were big and curly providing a good show for the spectators.[5] The Round 5 of the event was done there, then the conditions on Supertubos came back, and the competition returned to its normality.[6]
In August 2018, it was announced by the WSL that Peniche will receive once again the women's competition after nine years without it, which they lost toCascais. Peniche will host both the men's and women's competition.[7]
Since the birth of this competition it had four different titles due to sponsor deals.
