  • LOCALS ONLY

    by

    in

    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

    by

    in

    This morning we’ve decided to go back to Caparica to see how things were, after the changes. It was a strange day of surf, but we’ve seen some guys having a ball. Like the guy on the photo, for instance. It’s Paulo Jacinto with a pretty cool surfboard from… Paulo Jacinto Surfboards. Check out his…

  • A SURFING MORNING

    in

    Today’s surfing conditions weren’t the best, but I really wanted to get in the water, and ten days had passed since my last surfing day, so… No more excuses needed. 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…

It will take place in Faro, and seems to include a Retro surfboards competition and Stand Up Paddle demonstrations. Who’s coming? More info at Conquilha .

  • SUNDAY @ SÃO PEDRO

    Perfect waves at São Pedro. If I wasn’t so tired, and so out of shape it would have been a beautiful morning. But it was nice, though. A special note to the number of surfers in the water. There were less than ten when I arrived. There were more than fifty a few hours later.…

    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…

  • SURFING DAY AT CAPARICA

    in

    Today was a strange day to surf in Costa da Caparica. We knew this day would come, and he did. The local authorities in Caparica are getting ready for winter, so the beaches are getting filled up with sand.The problem is that this change is obviously affecting the waves. 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.
