The Longboard Pro Espinho culminates in improved conditions with the victories of Edouard Delpero and Alice Lemoigne.

What?

The Men and Women's Longboard Pro Espinho will launch the festivities once again from March 28-29, closely followed by the Men and Women's Junior Pro Espinho the following week from April 1-5, 2020.

Both events will be the first of the respective fields' season on the European series and launch the 2020 regional title race.

Where?

Espinho is located in Northern Portugal, just a few kilometers below Oporto across the Douro river and is host to some of the most consistent beach breaks in the country.

The regular break walls that separate each beach can help shape long, point break-type waves on their day and the West-facing coast is highly consistent. Last year's events witnessed surfers take on big, clean waves and one has to remember Lenni Jensen's perfect 10 point ride on a backdoor-like barrel that the German junior escaped miraculously.
