The names of the surfers who will be voted by the public to compete in the Perfect Chapter were revealed today. The tube-riding contest takes place on the best day of the Portuguese winter, at Carcavelos Beach in Cascais, Portugal

The poll runs on the Perfect Chapter website at <a href="http://www.capituloperfeito.com/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.capituloperfeito.com&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1573690442151000&amp;usg=AFQjCNH17r77oZOKiM-AerEKBj2-XFThFA">www.capituloperfeito.com</a>, and is open from 5pm GMT today, until 11:59pm GMT on November 16th.

13 Portuguese surfers, 13 international surfers, and 7 New Generation surfers will be voted by the public to define the final list of 16 surfers. 6 Portuguese surfers, 7 international surfers, 2 wild cards, and 1 New Generation surfer will compete at Carcavelos Beach.

The two wild-cards are William Aliotti, defending champion, and João Moreira, local wild-card.

For the first time, the New Generation category will allow a surfer aged up to 16 years to take part in the Perfect Chapter.

"It's a homecoming for a contest that's had some of its best years here in Cascais. Surfing in Portugal was born here, and having the Perfect Chapter here shows that besides the first waves surfed, we also have some of the best waves in the country", said Carlos Carreiras, Mayor of Cascais.

Rui Costa, organizer of the event, was "very pleased to return to Carcavelos and Cascais, as I’m sure this beach will provide us with a day of perfect waves, as in previous editions run here. We have a cast of world-renowned surfers, with proven tube-riding skills, from all over the world. This edition also introduces a new category, the New Generation, which will allow a younger surfer to compete with the best in the world. It will be amazing to see all these surfers in the Carcavelos tubes, which breaks so close to the crowd on the beach”.
