Rip Curl Pro Search kicks off today
The much anticipated surf event starts today in Peniche on the Silver Coast, the world’s top surfers from Australia, USA, South Africa, Hawaii and Brazil will go head to head in a bid to win the illustrious event. Competition will be fierce with some of the biggest names in surfing taking part such as Kelly Slater, Taj Burrow, Tom Whitaker, Adriano De Souza and more. Portugal’s hopes rest on the shoulders of one man; Tiago Pires, a resident on the Silver Coast in Ericeira, will be hoping that his knowledge of the local waters will give him an advantage over his rivals.
The event runs until the 30th of October and promises to entertain spectators coming from the surrounding Silver Coast towns of Lourinha, Ericeira, Areia Branca, Obidos, São Martinho do Porto, Foz Do Arelho and Nazare.
