The World Surf League (WSL) and Rip Curl announced an extended partnership, with the Australian surf brand coming on board as the presenting partner of the MEO Pro Portugal, the third stop on the 2022 Championship Tour (CT), along with the Boost Mobile Gold Coast Pro and the Sydney Surf Pro Challenger Series events. The news comes just weeks after the WSL announced that the Rip Curl WSL Finals would return to Lower Trestles in California this September for the 2022 CT season. By signing on as the presenting partner of the MEO Pro Portugal, Rip Curl will continue its strong connection with the waves of Super Tubos in Peniche, a place where the brand took their iconic “Search” Event back in 2009.
