We’ve seen some epic action at the MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal so far, some crazy tube rides and some wild wipeouts. With the steep takes offs the boys are having to negotiate, most have opted for their boards with more rocker, like the proton or rook15, and a bit more foam. Allowing them to take off under the lip.
