    First of all, let start with the good stuff: The Lost Fingers I’ve just heard these guys – The Lost Fingers – and this sounds pretty cool. We’ve heard covers before, but I think they’ve got some pretty good stuff here. A special notice to “Careless Whisper”, “Pump Up the Jam”, and obviously… “Billie Jean”.…

    I really don’t get this. Seat is using this Shepard Fairey’s Obama poster style, in their new campaign for Seat Leon, in Portugal, with Tiago Monteiro. Ok, the resemblances are obvious, and almost everybody knows the poster, so they can’t be trying to fool anyone, right? But what’s the point? Where’s the connection? On the…

I believe he managed to surf all the waves that went through that peak. Big, small, medium, rare… And there he goes…

    While the waves keep on moving to Algarve, and we, in Lisbon, must keep on working… there’s nothing better than a nice lunch by the river, with a magnificent sun and no waves on the horizon to tempt us. This was definitely one of the best lunches I’ve had this year. In Parque das Nações…

    Last week, I went to Gulbenkian to watch the Darwin exhibit. It was pretty crowded, so I gave up and just rambled around a little bit. Luckily I bumped into a video projection with the Darwin Originals project and I must say I was pretty impressed with this one: What if? from Lemn Sissay, talking…

    It was a summer day, in all aspects. It was hot, sunny and almost flat. The exception was the water temperature… cold, cold, cold. Nevertheless, it was a great surfing morning, full of sun and enough waves to have fun. And once again, the break was ours. No one else on the water. In the…

    The last few days, have been crazy. I have had a lot of work and no surf at all. But things are going well, and we have just launched the new website for SYM (scooters, motorcycles and ATVs) in Portugal. There are still a lot of things to do, but… it’s online! Check it out!
