Crosby Colapinto Wins Trials For The 2019 MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal

Earlier today 18-year-old Crosby Colapinto won the Men’s Trials event at Supertubos, earning himself entry into the main event, the 2019 MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal.

This win ushers in the start of Crosby’s second-ever World Tour event, a huge feat for the 18-year-old from San Clemente, California.
Alongside the Trials winner, the World Surf League also gives one Wildcard spot to a local surfer. It was announced today that alongside Crosby Colapinto, Miguel Blanco will have the opportunity to surf as a wildcard in the 2019 MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal. Miguel was chosen for his impressive record as 2x National Portuguese Surfing Champion, both in 2018 and 2019.

Congratulations to Crosby Colapinto on winning the Men’s Trials, and good luck to all the wildcards of the 2019 MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal.
