This event was held from 18 to 29 October in the Supertubos beach at Peniche, (Leiria, Portugal), with 36 surfers competing.[2] Due to the lack of conditions, the organization explored some good surfing spots in the peninsula to end the event in the correct date and some stages of the event were also held at Point Fabril beach between Almagreira and Pico da Mota in Ferrel(pt). Soon as the good waves came back to Supertubos the organization switched again of place.[3]
The tournament was won by John John Florence, who beat the rookie Conner Coffin in the final.[4]
