"Since 2009, Peniche has welcomed the best surfers in the world and thousands of surfers in the world to its waves, currently becoming the only place in Europe where the World Tour will take place", highlighted the organisation in a statement.

Peniche will host the world surfing elite for the 16th time, except for the interruption caused by Covid-19 in 2020 and 2021, after championships have already been held in three other locations, namely Figueira da Foz, Sintra and Ericeira.

“More than 150 thousand people passed through the Supertubos beach during the several days of the event, which proves that thousands of people have already fallen in love with the quality waves of this beach, its gastronomy and the hospitality of the people of this town ", added the organisation.

"This is one of the best waves in the world, it has a brutal consistency, there is always a good wave, that's what makes this region so fantastic", highlighted Francisco Spínola, general director of the WSL for Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
