LOCALS ONLY
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…

SUNDAY MORNING AT CAPARICA

GOOGLE EARTH CHALLENGE II
Skeleton Bay, Africa – A Google Earth Challenge II discovery An amazing wave. I didn’t had to time to search more information about this spot, but this is amazing. This guy, Cory Lopez, on his first wave of the day, surfs for 1min and 21 sec. I’m still drooling. I can believe that after a…

After a bad surfing day at Caparica, we faced Sunday as a new day, full of hope. The forecast wasn’t good (Wave direction N), but we kept our hopes, and went once more to Caparica… Flat. Our final destination were Meco beach, for a Sunday lunch with friends, so the worst thing that could happen…

With the exception of this spot,…

ZAMBUJEIRA
I’ve just spent a week in Zambujeira (Odemira, Portugal). I took my longboard, but the surfing conditions weren’t the best, so I went lazy and didn’t even get the board on water.
