Lagido as second option. Baleal/ Peniche. Portugal

The ladies need to be finished by Monday and Steph Gilmore wants to kick off at Supers. Like, right now. “Unfortunately, there’d only be a few of the girls who could handle it,” says Rip Curl team manager Garry Dunne, “We’ll have to move them to Lagido.” The wave the men are already refusing to surf? Really? Lagido is a ten minutes drive from Peniche. Sometimes when the waves are not quite right this could be an option. This day was the girls day. The women’s competition speeds through to the quarter-finals. Bruna Schmitz gets knocked out and lover Jeremy Flores curses the judges. It’s a race against the monstrous purple blob in the Atlantic that threatens to bring XXL-sized waves. Organisers need to get as much done as possible. Carissa Moore and Sally Fitzgibbons make the waves look better than they are. Carissa Moore was the girl of the day. Congratulations Carissa.
