Francisco Ordonhas revalidates national surfing title after turnaround in Peniche

Francisco Ordonhas won the national surfing title again after Guilherme Ribeiro was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Peniche Pro. Ordonhas, needing to reach the semi-finals to secure the title, was defeated by Jaime Veselko. Ribeiro, who needed to win the event to claim the title, 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, mirroring last year's championship win. He expressed satisfaction with his performance and acknowledged the unexpected turn of events that led to his title retention.
