\f0\fs24 \cf2 \cb3 Surf's up in Portugal - or at least it will be when the Rip Curl Pro
Portugal gets underway, the eighth round of the 2012 ASP World Tour.\
\ Just over 7000 separate the top four surfers
in the standings, and Australia's Mick Fanning, who is currently third, says there's everything
to surf for.\ \
"Yes, it's definitely exciting. I've never been in a (title) race with so many people
so close, so.... It's definitely something new and.... yes, for me, I just stumbled a
little bit (at the previous event in France), just had an absolute shocker and.... those
things happen and you've just got to try and bounce back and I enjoy it down here in Peniche.
It's a beautiful place and.... yes, just hopefully we get some good waves and have a good time."\
\ The Rip Curl Pro Portugal had been scheduled
to start on Wednesday (October 10th), but the first day of competition was called off
because of insufficient waves. \ \
The event is scheduled to run until October 21st.}
