Merewether surfer Morgan Cibilic claimed a heat victory to start the latest Challenger Series (CS) event in Portugal on the right foot as he fights to remain in touch with the top rankings.
Cibilic, last year's world No.5 and rookie of the year, currently sits 19th on the CS - the tier below the Championship Tour (CT) - and needs a big result at the Ericeira Pro to give himself a chance of re-qualifying for next year's CT.
