The stunning coastal town of Vila do Bispo, Portugal, set the stage for the opening stop of the European Tour of Longboard: the Vila do Bispo Longboard Classic. With solid swell, high-level performances, and a lively crowd gathered at Praia da Ponta Ruiva, the event delivered a spectacular start to the season.
Ginger Caimi was the undeniable star of the weekend. The young Italian phenom made a powerful statement by taking double gold, winning both the Open Women’s and Junior Girls divisions — a remarkable achievement that cements her as one of Europe’s brightest longboarding talents.
In the Open Men’s division, Martin Coret of France emerged victorious, securing his first win of the season in a tightly contested field. Meanwhile, Spain’s Martín García Andrade dominated the Junior Boys category, opening his season with an impressive victory.
