The iconic Supertubos delivered a high-performance showcase for an epic conclusion to the MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal. Johanne Defay earns her maiden Portuguese crown and Griffin Colapinto garners his second MEO Rip Curl Pro event belt as Supertubos turned the tide to pristine afternoon conditions. Griffin went toe-to-toe with 3x World Champ Gabriel Medina and ended his scorching trail, the second time this season that a Colapinto has stunted one of Medina's dominant runs (the first being a loss to Crosby at Sunset) and puts California atop the CT rankings once again . An all-CT elite Finals Day for the women witnessed a resurgence from the marquee names as Lakey Peterson and Tatiana Weston-Webb earned valuable points to keep their Mid-season Cut fate in their hands. Now, the world's best are ready to jump continents back to the legendary lineup of Bells Beach as every heat matters.
