After last year's succes of the Rip Curl Pro Search in Peniche, there's another ASP contest in Peniche this year (replacing the Mundaka contest). Last year they got some awesome waves during the contest, and this year starts great as well. Today was the first day of the waiting period, and with waves like in this picture, posted on magicseaweed.com, why would you wait? Well, there's more coming ;-)
So today only the women contest started, the men are still 'waiting'.....
Watch the contest on Rip Curl Pro Portugal 2010.
PS: Europe is showing it's awesome potential this year with already very good conditions in the Quiksilver Pro in France :-)
I looked the live webcast yesterday: the young daughter of friends from Reunion Island (wild card in the event) won her first round heat, beating the World Champ' Steph Gilmore.

She got a logical lost in round 3, but I was really happy for her: it was her first time ever on WCT, and I'm sure it's not the last one!
There's a very big swell on it's way to Portugal, so tomorrow it should be great in Peniche!
