<pre id="tw-target-text" class="wp-block-preformatted">The 14th national surfer was chosen through a contest promoted by Fidelidade on its Instagram, in which any surfer could participate. All you had to do was upload a video of a tube to your account, and a jury made up of 3 national surfing references (Alex Botelho, Tiago Oliveiro, Jorge Cação) chose the best. The choice fell on Luís Perloiro, a local surfer from Carcavelos.</pre>

<pre id="tw-target-text" class="wp-block-preformatted">“Cascais is already a capital of sea sports, it is part of our DNA, so it is an honor to host another edition of the Perfect Chapter. We have made an effort to make sporting events more dynamic, as we feel that this is something that has been lacking in recent times. We have also tried to show Cascais to the world through sport,” said Francisco Kreye, councilor in charge of sport at the Municipality of Cascais.

“We hope that this is just the first moment of Fidelidade's involvement with surfing. We are very pleased to be associated with this sport and the Perfect Chapter: for sustainability, for being a healthy sport,” said José Villa de Freitas, Marketing Manager at Fidelidade.

For Rui Costa, organizer of the event, “It was a great effort to put together this event in such a short time, but the nature of the Perfect Chapter is really this: when we have the green light, it's to move forward. We will continue to show Portugal's waves to the world, bring the best tube riders here and produce a great show. We want it not only to be a Perfect Chapter at sea, but also a perfect day for everyone who comes to visit us at Praia de Carcavelos”, he concluded.

This year, the Perfect Chapter powered by Billabong will focus on sustainability. Among other actions, a partnership was established with ElectricFatBike, which will award the winner with an electric bicycle. For Miguel Sanchez, representative of the EFB, “the brand's DNA has a lot of surfing and that's why this connection is a perfect match. Even more so this year, when we know that Capitulo Perfeito is seriously investing in making the event more sustainable. Nothing better than our eco-friendly bikes for the winner of this eighth edition”
