Event Recap:
The third stop of the 2025 WSL Championship Tour delivered powerful surf and dramatic storylines as Supertubos turned on with classic Atlantic conditions.
In the men’s division, Yago Dora claimed his first CT win since the 2023 Surf City El Salvador Pro. The Brazilian goofyfooter found two high-scoring waves early in the final and held off 2019 World Champion Italo Ferreira, who had previously dominated earlier rounds with explosive surfing and a near-perfect 9.60 in the quarterfinals. Dora’s win marks his second career CT victory and moves him into the top five in the rankings.
Ethan Ewing, who reached the semifinals, continues his consistent run this season after back-to-back quarterfinal finishes in Pipe and Sunset. His third place here keeps him firmly in the World Title race.
On the women’s side, Caroline Marks earned her second win in Portugal and her first victory of the 2025 season. Her smooth rail work and clutch surfing in smaller, tricky conditions were enough to edge out Gabriela Bryan in a low-scoring but tightly contested final. Marks now has three straight top-five finishes this season, showing strong early momentum.
Lakey Peterson, who made the semifinals for the second event in a row, climbs into the top three of the rankings and looks to be regaining her pre-injury form from 2022.
Event Atmosphere:
The event drew thousands of fans to the beach breaks of Peniche, with strong local support and a vibrant atmosphere across competition days. On lay days, fans were treated to live music, autograph sessions, and surf clinics along the Peniche coastline.
As the European leg concludes, the Championship Tour now heads to Bells Beach, where both title hopefuls and mid-season cut contenders will be tested once again.
