First eliminations were dealt at the MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal presented by Corona Cero and the first batch of Quarterfinalists are in. Men's and women's Elimination Round bouts witnessed Deivid Silva and Liam O'Brien take control in their heats alongside Luana Silva and wildcard Yolanda Hopkins. But, the Round of 16 caught a spark from Caitlin Simmers taking to the air in dynamic fashion, ending the wildcard's hopes with Caroline Marks and Erin Brooks paving the way for goofyfooter magic. Now, Quarterifnals await women's competition as the stage is set for men's Round of 32 bouts to unravel in Portugal.
