Porty’s back!

The third event of the CT season’s waiting period runs now until March 16. While it’s looking unlikely to run in the opening three days as Supertubos’ preferred conditions of west swell, strong north winds and high periods are expected to arrive later on the 12th and 13th – there’s a good chance it will be boiling by this weekend. 

Swell’s coming. Ideally, the arrow representing the wind would be pointing from the upper right side of your screen — but even when it ain’t, it doesn’t appear to be strong enough to ruin the party. Credit: Surfline

Unlike the WSL’s tour schedule – this event likes goofyfoots. Up until last year, just two Men’s finals in the previous decade didn’t feature at least one goof. Both Women’s champions since the reboot — Caroline and Tati — face the wall on lefts. Which is probably why our local betting expert and fellow goofy foot tube hound, Fransisco Alves has pegged two of them to win.

We’ll have a detailed event preview for you dropping in the next few hours. For now enjoy these raw clips and start manifesting winning big based on Fransisco and Mikey’s hot tips.
