Rip Curl Pro, Peniche day two highlights

Sure, there wasn’t a whole lot to work with (only four heats were run), but that doesn’t make the highlights package from yesterday’s Rip Curl Pro, Portugal any less interesting. And because we like to preamp, and since the first call for today happens in 45 minutes (as of writing), why not watch the recap? Especially worthwhile if you missed the short, fast and loud run of heats yesterday. And even more especially worth seeing Damo Hobgood get slapped in the face by a trio of fish, mid-barrel. Below’s the heat draw for today – who are your picks?
