Francisco Ordonhas revalidates title and becomes national surfing champion for the second time in Peniche

Francisco Ordonhas became the national surf champion for the second time after Guilherme Ribeiro was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Peniche Pro. Ordonhas, who needed to reach the semi-finals to secure the title, lost to Jaime Veselko but still retained his championship due to Ribeiro's defeat. Ribeiro led his quarter-final heat but was eliminated after his opponent scored a perfect 10 in the final moments. Ordonhas celebrated his victory shortly after his own elimination, reflecting on the unexpected turn of events that allowed him to defend his title.
