What's up

Europe's own Johanne Defay and her charge atop the podium at the 2024 MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal Newly announced mother-to-be Johanne Defay will be back at Supertubos at the 2025 MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal presented by Corona Cero to take a shot at repeating her success from her event win last year. The MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal presented by Corona Cero will showcase elite surfing at Supertubos, one of Europe's premier beach breaks known for its powerful, hollow waves and consistent barrels. As the third stop on the 2025 World Surf League Championship Tour, this event is crucial for competitors looking to build momentum in their World Title campaigns. In addition, significant points are on the line for those looking to remain above the mid-season cut line. Fresh off of the Abu Dhabi wave pool event, the cold water wave's unique combination of power and fast takeoffs makes it an ideal stage for progressive surfing and dramatic competition.
