Portugal’s over. The World Title’s heading to Pipe. And we’re all still a little disappointed finals day went down at what looked to be Maroubra’s European cousin. 

While there weren’t many lay days between the thumping Peniche shorebreak, Rip Curl were swift enough to snatch Gabby Medina, Owen Wright, and Matty Wilko, to blast a handful of questions at them.

Nothing too saucy, just a number of lighthearted jabs dished out to the trio.

Best tubes, snapped boards, how many Portuguese tarts Wilko thinks he can cram down his pie hole, and why Medina doesn’t like tarts or sardines. 

On a side note, while Mick Fanning’s not present in this clip, the Curl did manage to slide him over there for the comp and mic him up. We recommended sliding over to their YouTube page to sample some of Mick’s opinions from the other side of the jersey.
