The WSL missed the best moment of waves of the entire championship on Saturday morning when Barrinha was working at
perfection and lots of locals and Kelly Slater were enjoying themselves in the water.

Later, when the wind had blown, the tournament directors moved the competition there, some epic waves came out but the conditions were clearly deteriorating.

In the Snaketales video, Chumbinho Chianca gets out of a barrel, which, if he hadn't been distracted by celebrating, would have gotten in for a second, maybe better.

Below are a couple of proofs of what happened:
