DESCRIPTION

CHANGE OF GUARD IN RIBEIRA d’ILHAS. The first stop of the Meo Pro Surf League follows a long line of events that marked portuguese surfing. Since 1992, when the iconic Tiago Oliveira won, until 1996 and 1997 when Tiago Pires “blew up” on the portuguese league, Ribeira has always been the perfect "stage" for all those moments, and many others, of great relevance in Portugal.For the three days of the Meo Ericeira Pro 2012 this point break provided very good surf, never falling under one meter or above two. This event saved its best moment for the final, where the two most talented surfers of the new generation, Vasco Ribeiro and Frederico Morais, faced as equals. And the rest is history...

Para João Guedes, chegar ao round 3 é um resultado escasso, mas o nortenho não deixou de mostrarmomentos brilhantes, e que, em 2009, lhe valeram o título de campeão nacional.

Not making it out of the third round is consideraded a very poor result to a surfer of the caliber ofJoão Guedes. But he left us with some great moments, similar to what he showed in 2009, when hewas crowned portuguese champion.

Vasco Ribeiro mostrou, em todos os seus heats, todasas lições que aprendeu na sua longa (e brilhante)

temporada australiana neste início de ano.

Vasco Ribeiro’s surfing in Ribeira d’Ilhas was nomore than a display of what he learned in his recent

(and briliant) competitive streak to Australia.

Nada como uma junção de peso para relembrar ao regressadoDavid Luís que, em competição, não se pode não arriscar tudo.Reentry de risco com direito a grab estiloso.

Zé Ferreira sabia que se apanhasse a onda certairia destruí-la do início ao fim, e foi isso que fez

quando esta apareceu! O resultado foi a elimina-ção de Tiago Pires e um lugar nas meias-finais.

Zé Ferreira knew that if he caught the rightwave he would probably rip it to pieces and get

the score he needed. The wave came and heaccomplished his mission, taking outTiago

Na final eram poucas as ondas com potencial e, por isso mesmo, Vasco Ribeiro sabia que tinhade abusar, mesmo nas ondas que apenas tinham uma boa secção!

Frederico Morais já atingiu aquele nível em que não precisa de provarnada na liga nacional mas isso não quer dizer que ele não o queira

fazer sempre que pode competir! Prova disso é que surfou, nesta pri-meira etapa, para vencer, e, venceu-a!

Frederico Morais has reached such a high level of surfing that he hasnothing more to prove on the portuguese league. That didn´t make

him try any less harder. He surfed to win, and that he did!
