Despite winning the Capitulo Perfeito in pumping beach break tubes at Carcavelos Beach last month, Cam Richards wasn’t originally on the line-up to compete in the one day specialty event. Luckily for the East Coast American, he happened to be in Portugal chasing Atlantic winter swells when someone dropped out of the Capitulo event at the eleventh hour, leaving space for him to jump in as an alternate.
“I’ve had my eye on this event for a while, so I’m stoked I got the call. I want to try and get more invites to these types of events. That would be the dream tour, just doing a bunch of invitational contests in the best waves and sickest locations,” Cam told me during the event.
Since he stopped competing on the Challenger Series a couple of years ago, the goofy-footer now has time to do these one off events and chase swells across the globe.
While scoring down in Portugal prior to the contest, Cam linked up with filmer Hunter Martinez to capture some of his sessions. One of which you can now watch at the link above.
