The emotions of the 2022 season of the World Surf League continue and, the next event will be, without a doubt, one of the best that we can witness in this first quarter of 2022 since the best surfers in the world will meet in Portugal to try to achieve a victory that puts them on top and being the focus of the best reflectors in world surfing.
The MEO Pro Portugal is a surfing competition that belongs to the WSL calendar that takes place in Peniche, Portugal every year. It was held for the first time in 2009 and was called the Rip Curl Search Portugal.
The 2022 WSL CT season is off to an epic start after completing the first two stops on Oahu’s North Shore in Hawaii. Spectators witnessed the return of 11-time world champion Kelly Slater, who scored his 56th career win at the Billabong Pro Pipeline.

The Brazilian Italo Ferreira has fallen in the world ranking of the CT this 2022 to position #16, due to his two results at the beginning of the year that are not as expected. At the Billabong Pro Pipeline, Ferreira finished #9 and was beaten by Miguel Pupo, while at the Hurley Pro Sunset Beach he finished #17, one of his most disappointing performances in recent years.
