The photo above is from the Skimboard championship, in São Pedro’s beach (Estoril). The Longboard European Championship will take place on the 13th and…

    «Something good is going to happen, the optimists are nearby!» Several abandoned buildings around Principe Real (Lisbon) had their doors painted blue, with pretty inspirational expressions. I’ve read, in here, that it was the work of a graffiti artist called Eko 5, but I’m really not sure.

    There’s an excellent review on the Guardian, about the movie, “Waltz With Bashir”, that I mentioned on this post (4 October): «This may be the most thought-provoking film I’ve seen all year,’ Xan Brooks says of Ari Folman’s inventive animated documentary about the Sabra and Shatila massacre of 1982»

    Everywhere is the same. All over the world and in every language. There will always be a bunch of local surfers that don’t want anybody else on their front yard. Obviously, they love to go on surf trips to their neighbour’s front yard, but that’s a different story. Some of the best days I had…

    Finally, Oceanlab‘s new website is up and running. We’ve created Oceanlab in 2002, and we have never had a decent website.

Woke up at 7AM, left my girl in bed and went surfing. This picture was taken after the surfing session, in Parede’s beach, where I’ve…
