Confirmed: Carlos Muñoz will be in the Portugal CT

With Women's Day being celebrated in the tournament, the Costa Rican will honor Frieda Zamba with his lycra; Brisa will be named after Jimena Ruiz


Costa Rican Carlos Muñoz will be at the third stop of the CT that will take place in Supertubos, Portugal between March 8 and 16, the WSL recently reported in a press release regarding the women who will be honored in the tournament in celebration of their day and it was also confirmed by the Costa Rican surfer himself to DUKE.

The list of all participants includes the name of Muñoz, who will carry on his back the name of four-time world surfing champion Frieda Zamba, who lives in Costa Rica.

This is the third consecutive CT event in which Carlos Muñoz will be present.

The Costa Rican finished 17th in Pipe and Sunset and needs to improve that position to hope to be within the cut-off line before stage 6.

He is currently tied for 24th with six other surfers.

Another Costa Rican, Brisa Hennessy, will be honoring Costa Rican adaptive surfer Jimena Ruiz at the Portuguese event.
