Dawn Patrol: Lay Day in Portugal, To Claim or Not to Claim

WSL

Wednesday, October 28, 2015

Offshore winds chopped up the break at Supertubos, for a lay day for the Moche Rip Curl Pro Portugal. But despite the inconsistent conditions, WSL commentators Martin Potter and Strider Wasilewski had some fun: They ran through some of their favorite claims and debate whether or not they're good for surfing. (Check out what some of the pros said about claiming earlier this year.) Plus, the latest Surfline forecast and a look at XXL conditions in nearby Nazaré.

Tune in to Dawn Patrol to see if competition will resume and download the WSL App and get all the latest action on the go.
