A new surfing location

“We are very pleased to announce São Pedro do Estoril as the main spot for the Estoril Surf Billabong Girls 2010,” said contest director Miguel Ruivo. “This place was last year’s alternative spot and turned out to offer the best waves. The girls really enjoyed to surf here and we thought it would be the perfect place for this year’s event! The alternative surfing spot will be the beach of Guincho”.
The Women’s Surf Trophy
In addition to the 6 stars WQS event, the Estoril Surf Billabong Girls will offer for the first time a special team contest for surf schools and clubs called the Women’s Surf Trophy.
