With 6-to-8 feet of north-west swell and all day north-east winds, the 12th January was a belter at Peniche, Portugal.

"Supertubos doesn't deliver days like this often," said videographer Balint Hambalko. "It was the best I've seen for a long time."

After shooting all day, Balint saw very few turns but recorded hours worth of tube time from the likes of Gui Fonseca, Joao Chianca, Luis Perloiro, Marc Piwko, Gonzalo Montalvao, and many more rippers.

And for those wondering, the CT is due to stop at Supertubos in two months time - 15th March to be precise.

Very similar to today here. Keito Matsuoka (2019 Wave of the Winter) was up here tube-pigging. One of those guys where sometimes you just get out and watch.

I was at nazare that day and it's amazing how the canyon there multiplies the swell. Biggest waves I have seen in almost 60 years of playing in it
