The Ultimate Guide to the 2023 MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal
The world’s best surfers are heading to Peniche for stop #3 of the World Surf League Championship Tour, the MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal!
The town of Peniche is unassuming. Home to one of Portugal’s largest fishing industries, it’s a bustling, working-class economy. At first glance you’d never assume it held any secrets – but if you look just a little bit closer, you’ll see that it plays host to one of the world’s best barrels… Supertubos, a pumping sandbar that offers both left and right barrels running at the speed of a freight train, perfectly hollow yet never forgiving.
From what’s on, how to watch and what to bring, here's your ultimate guide to the MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal.
What's On:
Rip Curl Flagship Store:
If you’re in Penchie during the event checkout the Rip Curl Flagship Store at Avenida Da Praia Edificio, Peniche, Portugal. The store is packed with our latest threads, surfboards, wetsuits, and equipment.
Go Surf!
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. If it’s a lay-day and the event isn’t running you can still catch a wave at one of the magnets along the coast.
