How many events does it take for the cream to rise to the top?

After just two events of very different natures, Pipeline and a pool, the rankings are beginning to take shape, with a few anomalies sprinkled in for good measure.

Miggy Pupo is third in the world, Griffin sits at #19, meanwhile Italo Ferreira, already counting a third and a first on his scorecard, is steaming ahead 4765 points clear of 2x Pipe Pro winner Barron Mamiya in second.

On the women’s side of things, reigning World Champ Caity Simmers has picked up where she left off, low-key dominating with a first and second in hand, and flawless 6-0 winning record over the woman currently ranked second, Molly Picklum. 

Sure, some cream appears to be rising early, but with just two samples, we’re not calling in the statisticians quite yet.

Next stop? Another ‘P’—Portugal. Supertubos is an event without obvious favorites, courtesy of its famously erratic moods. Picture classic offshore barrels one moment, chaotic wind-blown ramps the next.

Recent men’s winners returning for more glory include Italo Ferreira (2018, 2019), Griffin Colapinto (2022, 2024), and João Chianca (2023). Women’s past champs include Caity Simmers (2023), Caroline Marks (2021), and Johanne Defay (2024)

To help make sense of it all we’ve commissioned the help of local Portuguese tube artist, Fransisco Alves, aka Xicobyxico – a great IG handle, I’ll add, and a previous BOAG punting consultant. 

Fransisco’s picks below

Mens: Yago Dora, Griffin Colapinto, Jack Robinson. Dark Horse: Freddie Morais
Womens: Molly Picklum, Caity Simmers, Tati WW. Dark horse: Johanne Defay
