Besides the official youth age groups competitions, the event will also have Open and Longboard extra official competition with top national surfers.
Starting this year, the six Portugueses regional surf circuits will qualify athletes for the national circuit in the following age groups: Under-12, Under-14, Under-16, Under-18, Girls Under-16 and Girls Under-18. The best regional surfers in each age group will qualify to a final national Youth event to decide the Portuguese national champion titles.
The young guns from the Algarve will all be in Rocha Beach for the first South Regional event.

A great show on the beach, perhaps too windy on saturday but expecting a perfect day with good swell for sunday.
