2024 Capítulo Perfeito | Highlights

Watch the highlights of the 10th edition of the Capítulo Perfeito held in thumping surf at Carcavelos Beach in Portugal.
Tiago Stock, a local charger, emerged victorious at the 10th annual Capítulo Perfeito held at Carcavelos Beach, Portugal.
In the final, he defeated Rob Machado, Dylan Graves, and Balaram Stack.
Carcavelos Beach provided a day of dynamic, barreling waves for all 16 participants during the 10-year anniversary of Capítulo Perfeito.
Some of the world's leading tube specialists and top Portuguese surfers showcased their skills in a full-day surfing exhibition.
Ultimately, the 18-year-old Portuguese surfer secured the top honors, becoming the first trialist to win the event and receiving the €20,000 winner's check.
Adding to the local triumph, Salvador Vala, a 16-year-old, won the Next Generation Special Heat for young surfers in the New Generation category (U-18).
Vala's impressive 8.25 ride earned him €1,000 in cash, a 500€ travel voucher, and a 7-day double stay at the Hiddenbay Resort in the Mentawai Islands.
Additionally, he claimed the Worst Wipeout by Nixon prize (€500).
Despite not making it to the final, former Capítulo Perfeito champion Bruno Santos reached the semis after a strong start, securing the Best Tube (€2,500) and Best Score (€2,000) prizes.
Kudos to semi-finalist Lucas "Chumbo" Chianca, who received the Ricardo dos Santos Commitment Award by Corona (€2,000) for tackling the biggest and most technical waves.
Throughout the day, the consistent swell delivered powerful eight-foot sets at Carcavelos Beach, known as one of Europe's best beach breaks when conditions are optimal.
