The two most informed surfers met in the final of the Rip Curl Pro Portugal as Felipe Toledo met Italo Ferreira in an all Brazillian final. The waves on the final day were far from epic but the performances in the final were stellar to say the least. Some of the best airs ever witnessed in competitive surfing came from both Felipe and Italo. In the end Felipe edged the rookie for his 3rd WSL victory in 2015.
