CALLINAN LANDS WILDCARD FOR PORTUGAL EVENT

Ryan Callinan will face Owen Wright in the opening round of the world tour event in Portugal, which starts tomorrow.

As expected, the Merewether surfer earned a wildcard after his incredible performance in France, where he finished second to fellow Aussie, Julian Wilson.

26-year-old Callinan is now almost assured of returning to the tour full-time next year.
