Portuguese surf fans turned up in the masses to witness a whirlwind Finals Day as the women CT veterans reestablished themselves in Europe as Johanne Defay bests 2x World Champ Tyler Wright in the Final to win her first-ever European CT victory. 2023 World Title contenders Ethan Ewing and Griffin Colapinto rekindled their Final 5 showdown as Colapinto gets one back on Ewing in defiant form just after taking out Gabriel Medina in a massive Semifinal clash. Ewing denied the surfing world the first potential Colapinto brothers battle and Griffin answered by locking down the yellow jersey with a near-perfect win. The rankings are closer than ever as the Mid-season Cut looms with just two events remaining before all must charge to make it. The CT packs its bags and heads down under for the iconic Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach for the 4th stop on the 2024 CT tour next.
