DESCRIPTION
Ribeira d’Ilhas holds a very special place in the history of Portuguese surfing for being the birthplace of competitive surfing of our country. The natural conditions of this beach compel the League to return year after year, being the oldest event on the circuit. It was here that Tiago Pires won for the first time and despite no longer running the League, is the place that will forever be attached to his name. For three days Ribeira delivered good conditions, allowing new talent to show what they know. The new generation dominated but it was two juniors from Ericeira, Tomás Fernandes and Carina Duarte, who took top honors, something unheard of until now in the land considered to have the best waves of Portugal.

Ribeira d’Ilhas guarda um lugar muito especial na História do Surf Português por ser o berço da competição no nosso país. As condições natu-rais desta praia obrigam a Liga a regressar ano após ano, sendo a etapa mais “estanque” do circuito. É também sempre o palco de grandes revelações pois é raro o ano em que algo muito surpreendente não acontece. Foi aqui que Tiago Pires venceu pela primeira vez e, apesar de já não correr a Liga, é o local que para sempre es-
tará ligado ao seu nome.Durante três dias as ondas apresentaram-se sem-pre boas, permitindo aos novos talentos mostrar o que sabem. A nova geração dominou mas foram dois juniores da Ericeira que venceram, Tomás Fernandes e Carina Duarte, algo inédito até agora nesta que é considerada a zona de
Portugal com as melhores ondas.

Ribeira d’Ilhas holds a very special place in the his-tory of Portuguese surfing for being the birthplace of competitive surfing of our country. The natural conditions of this beach compel the League to return year after year, being the oldest event on the circuit. It is also always the stage for major spoilers because since it is rare when something very surprising does not happen. It was here that Tiago Pires won for the first time and despite no longer running the League, is the place that will
forever be attached to his name.For three days Ribeira delivered good conditions, allowing new talent to show what they know. The new generation dominated but it was two juniors from Ericeira, Tomás Fernandes and Carina Duar-te, who took top honors, something unheard of until now in the land considered to have the best
waves of Portugal.

secção que separa o outside do inside. || There’s nothing better than having a bit of local knowledge to know when to speed through a section and when to explode. Tomás
