Nazare day

the forecast of that day was the biggest i ever saw for Nazare.A week before i was cruising at my close friend Sancho and his girlfriend at Hossegor(check step off France at youtube).
He decided to go to Nazare and as he did not had a driver and knew i went many times , invites me to be his partenaire.This is the last wave he had.A monster double up.From behind i only control myself to make sure i could pick him up.But the wave eject him so far to the beach that i wasn´t able to find him.
Drove to the rocks to make sure he wasn´t there and after 2 or 3 waves saw him.

Only got some waves that is not really the agressive ones like sancho´s.did feel good with my row board and already working on new ones.
Stoked we a lll went back safe to the harbor on a extreme giant day.

clandestino surf welcome to the team

Riding Giants

More fun to watch wqs with guys like this

Edouard Delpero

Years ago when i was on the ASP tour, Kanabeach was my main sponsor.
At this time one of my team mates, was a little kid from Marseille, South of France .
A place with some nice waves , but once in a while.
He moved to Biarritz and became one of the best surfer in Europe.
But what i see is not only a good surfer, but some one really polished and educated.
Many surfers have tendance to a bad road.
When i mean bad is the punk crazy style.
Don' t really like that kind of surfers.Think is bad to the sport and as a profissional, i see guys like Eduard making a better image of my sport.
Clip bellow, he show a lot of the Basque country with the company of Arthur Bourbon, another great surfer and with some literally romantic word on spanish.

follow him!!!

My road by Nic Von Rupp

Have the opportunity to surf a bunch of times with this kid and really like the approach he has on barreling waves.
Kids nowadays are surfing with way smaller boards and waiting for waves under the lip.
Like that!!
this is just a teaser, can't wait to see the whole clip.

Reading maps

Had one french surfer asking me on the facebook where i check the forecast.
Think we all have a favourite web to have a quick look.
I check a lot http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=75856&sty=m_menu.
Will get by ex Nazare.
First of all you need to learn and have your on knowledge about the spots you know and like it.
I have in my mind a bunch of them , everywhere in the world.
I like to analyze by myself, but if you don' t feel confident to it, check good webs.
webs who do have expert on it.
Like surf line.com
magicseaweed.com
Surfsession.com
Surfportugal.pt
waves.com.br

Back to my own thing , i already had checked wind guru map.I saw a little wind on the wind next saturday and big swell.
So now i go to US navy web, cause they do have a satellite and not any of the others webs.

this pay can provide you swell,period,winds,isobar,...everything.
If you not want to go to far, just do a double check if windguru is right, go to sign wave heights and over the sea winds , Swell wave heights ,swell wave period..

https://www.fnmoc.navy.mil/wxmap_cgi/cgi-bin/wxmap_DOD_area.cgi?
area=fnmoc_europe2&set=All


I can even go on more details if i really see a big session approaching , checking the wind speeds when start there storm, the local countries webs for rain, like meteofrance or meteoGalicia..
Guys like Francois Liets are guys that i had learn a lot or even my ex partenaire on tow in Ben Sanchis.

Madeira

I only had been in Madeira once.
At the clip bellow that finish with one of my best barrel ever in my life at Quemao, Lanzarote.






Just saw this forecast for this week and i am a bit on bad mood right now.
Here, stuck in Tenerife south. Doing my surfer teacher diploma and thinking about open my own surf school(might be in Galicia, as my children's is living there), and can't go for this amazing week of great surf there.
Men get do what a men get do...

Slabs adiction

There is many place in Europe that we can ride big barrels.
Might say Ireland are the most perfect big ones.
Galicia has an undiscovered coast to it.We still finding places..
But Australia is for sure the one place in the world for slab .
Oz guys charge crazy!
Have a cousin living there i would be really keen to spend some month and surf all over.

safety by Surfline

First thing i though when i saw this post from surf line was.
I will lear something.
And i did.
I though only the breast pressing massage was using this days.
But there is doctors the still saying the best is a straight 5 breath on a unconscious person.
Second, go do a course pratical.
Is never the same when you just read.

Knee injury update

Knee is way better.Just did one RIM and i did not touched ligaments or bones.The left is a trickI was petty much happy to make the drop and pull in.

But it closed out on my knee.

Paco and rest of the locals bodyboarders helped me out to leave the water.
I am now in Tenerife for a Federal Spanish diploma and had surf for the first time today.
Feeling confident to be back on big waves soon.

When i saw the swell, first call was Azores with the edp crew , but maps showed swell there was downgrading and i start to organize with Seb Steudtner to surf in Nazare.

I end up in Ireland cause good friend and top ASP Surfer.Myself, sneaking one nice one.

Michel Bourez.

I had drive most of the time, putting Michel on waves and rescue, as they did paddle following local legend Fergal Smith, who open the line up.


With lots of expireince on big barrels, Michel felt like home in Tahiti, but with wetsuit.
