The Capitolo Perfetto It is a pipe competition traditionally held in Portugal The best day in the winter. We can talk about a kind of Royal Barrique with Portuguese sauce, even on an international level because Brazilians, Americans and Australians are regularly invited. French William Eloti He even won the 2018 edition.
Because this is a competition outside the WSL calendarQS and CT surfers are not allowed to participate. So guests are chosen from the pool of Portuguese surfers, famous windsurfers, or now retired competitors.
Wide tubes, distinguished guests
This eighth edition was organized in Carcavelos It fulfilled its promises with conditions and surfers on a level. Smaller than expected, waves facing very strong offshore winds still blasted barrels throughout the day.
If my browser like Ice Buchan And the Adriano de Sousa We had to decline the invitation, like CT alumni Thiago Perez And the Bruno Santos She existed, and so did freestyle skaters like Russell Burke And the Clay Marzo. The latter stood out a lot for his crazy tube placements, like taking the biggest sweep of the event, or by jumping into the water in wooden shorts when everyone else was wearing a 4/3 sometimes accompanied by a balaclava…

about Cory Lopez, who had already reached the final in 2018, it was once again experience that played a role. Having gone through the additions, he was then able to make it to the final without winning a single series, but he still found average grades that would allow him to qualify.
