Surfers who will take part in 7th edition of the Perfect Chapter, the specialty event that takes place on the best wave day of the Portuguese winter, have been confirmed. The waiting period of the event runs from 17 November to 31 January 2019. The barrel riding takes place at Praia de Carcavelos, in Cascais. Surfers have a 72h alert once the organization decides the forecast is ideal for Carcavelos.

Six of the best Portuguese tuberiders, chosen by the public in an online poll, will compete with some of the world's best experts in barreling waves.

Two wildcards were already confirmed in the Perfect Chapter 2019-20: William Aliotti, defending champion, and João Moreira, local wildcard.

"We received over 43,000 votes, from 92 countries on five continents, which goes to show the traction the Perfect Chapter has in the surfing community in Portugal and worldwide. We have an amazing cast of Portuguese and international surfers, so I’m sure the action at Carcavelos will be world class. We could hold another amazing Perfect Chapter even with the surfers who didn’t get chosen on the poll," said Rui Costa, organizer of the Perfect Chapter.

The remaining surfers who are not part of the main list will be called up as alternates, by position in the online poll.
