Portuguese Talent Shines as Sintra Bodyboard Pro Fest 25 Opens at Praia Grande

Strong local performances highlight the first day of competition in Portugal’s iconic stage of the IBC World Tour.

Sintra, Portugal – September 3, 2025 – The Sintra Bodyboard Pro Fest 25 officially kicked off today at Praia Grande, with Portugal’s top riders delivering standout performances on the opening day of action at the country’s most prestigious bodyboarding event.

Reflecting on his victory, Rosmaninho expressed confidence in his campaign: “We had some great waves this afternoon that allowed us to put on a show. I’d really like to improve on my best result here, which was a quarterfinal finish. If the conditions hold, we’ll be able to show the real talent of the riders competing.”

Dourado also set her sights on going further in the competition: “I really enjoy competing in Sintra, and it felt great to start with a win. Now, I hope to go as far as possible. I know it won’t be easy, but I’m aiming for a strong result.”

Beyond the heats, the Municipality of Sintra—the main sponsor of this 29th edition—launched sustainability initiatives at Praia Grande, including beach-waste sculpture building, the “Urban Water Cycle” exhibition, and the “Sintra Glass + Glass” recycling campaign led by SMAS de Sintra.

The program also includes community activities, with Saturday featuring a women’s open bodyboarding class (“Boogie Chicks”) and a large-scale fitness session supported by People Family Club, 100% Fitclub, Gimnoanima, and Holme Place.

Looking ahead, conditions are forecast to intensify tomorrow with bigger waves and stronger winds, promising another dramatic day of world-class competition at Praia Grande.
