no comments Hoje aproveitámos a manhã menos inspirada para dar uma limpeza nas pranchas, tirar o wax antigo e “vesti-las” a preceito para a surfada da tarde. As ondas, pequeninas, continuam perfeitinhas, a água quente e o vento continua fraco. E nós estamos quase a ir embora… _ Today we dedicated the morning to our surfboards. We [...]
Hoje para além do já habitual dormir, comer, beber e jogar snooker, tivémos direito a duas sessões de surfada, uma de manhã e outra à tarde. De manhã tivémos direito às mais pequenas ondas da costa portuguesa, mas de tarde, e em jeito de recompensa pela dedicação matinal, tivémos direito a excelentes ondas de 0.5m [...]
Hoje o dia foi dedicado à preguiça. As ondas estavam fraquinhas, por isso foi um dia de praia, petiscos, jolas e snooker. Vida difícil… _ Today we spent it doing nothing. Pure laziness. No great surfing conditions, so we just spent it whether on the beach, or eating, drinking and playing snooker. It’s a hard [...]
Tivémos imensa sorte. Viemos sem destino, e encontrámos um pequeno jardim à nossa espera. Parecia desenhado para nós. Lugar para as pranchas, duche para o fim do dia, churrasco… Perfeito. O surf podia ser melhor, mas o tempo está magnífico, o que já não é mau. Entretanto, existem relatos de caos e stress por Lisboa, [...]
A friend of mine sent me this picture this weekend. He was cruising close to the beach, and took this shot. Amazing. Amazing wave. Drool….
Another day with the Billabong girls in Bafureira, so we’ve just spent the morning checking their surf. No waves for us. In the end, it seems that Sally Fitzgibbons won the Estoril Billabong Girls Pro.
In a day with a great sun and solid waves at Bafureira, the worst part was the crowd. Kids with no education at all. At least, in the end, the Billabong Girls showed up to add some class.
Mick Fanning vs Tiago Pires (Saca) tomorrow at Bells Beach!!
After a magnificent Saturday morning at Bafureira, Sunday we ruined it all by going to Caparica. This time we tried a different beach, but the result was even worse, so a couple hours later we packed our stuff, and went home. It’s been a long time since I had a good morning of surf in [...]
Altough Bafureira is very close to São Pedro’s beach, I had never tried to catch some waves there. It’s always a little bit more crowded than I like, and I really enjoy my little sunny spot in São Pedro. But this Saturday, São Pedro was completely flat, so we decided to try Bafureira, and I [...]
While Barack Obama keeps on looking for his Portuguese Water Dog, Saturday I found one surfing on São Pedro’s beach. His name was Vasco. He completely stole the show. King of the beach. I believe he managed to surf all the waves that went through that peak. Big, small, medium, rare… And there he goes [...]
Another summer weekend with two sunny days with good waves in São Pedro do Estoril. I’m still a (very) small waves surfer, so this weekend was great!! Specially Saturday, as Sunday was a little more crowded. But it was a nice crowd.
