Portuguese Athletes Dominate Opening Day of the Professional Division at the ArcelorMittal Wahine Bodyboarding Pro

Padrela set the standard with an impressive 17.00 points, scoring two excellent 8.50 rides with precise timing and progressive maneuvers in the waves of Solemar Beach, Jacaraípe. Dourado, runner-up in the Pro Junior last year, followed closely with 15.15 points, underlining her potential as one of the event’s breakthrough performers. Both athletes advance to the next round and will return to competition on Monday.

"“The ocean was in great condition, and it felt like everything connected. For me, the Wahine represents inspiration, and today was pure happiness,” said Padrela."
