PANTIN CLASSIC, HISTORIA DEL SURF EN EL NORTE DE ESPAÑA

Nice clip!

Dive and surf

Litle article on a Dive magazine from Galicia.

Dive and surf has something about it?

For sure on big surf.

Big wave legend and for me the best guy and more relax on big days are dive expert Mark Healey.

I do myself when ever i can too, and not only you can train your breath but make your wife happy with some fresh fish.

During the Tow-in session at Mully.
I saw the eye of the barrel just moving far and even behind the foam goal i thought i could make it.
But don´t know how just spit me out without the board.
Sanch almost run over me with the jet cause i took a bit longer to be up.So he was looking for me at the same time i was putting my head on the surfface.Just saw the ski couple cm passing over me.

Funny storys I

I will start to tell some stores that did happen with me in the past.
Maybe one day even myself will not remember this and will be stoked to ready and reminder.
This first one is about one story of my cousin that came to spend some times with me in Canarys.
I had just buy the house and he came from Brazil to live a while with me.
He is a big guy around 1,85m and now he is one of the Brazilians jim-jitsu black belt that live around the world teaching this nice conduct.

Pic :Mauricio first from the left and Marcus third from the left my both cousin living in OZ.

In his case in Sidney(Facebook Mauricio Caviccini).
Well, one day when we were sleeping, he start to call me:
_ Eric, come come!
_What you want,let me sleep! i answered.
_There is a spirit in my room(that wash´t really a room.I just had buy the hose and was a crazy place with old doors to outside, no kitchen, no toilet, nothing.)
_shut up man..go sleep, stop bullshit!
_No way, i will come sleep with you.
_no chance man(i was sleeping in a single bed inside a camping tent)
_Come see this, i am tell you,there is a spirit.
_I got there and he was inside his covers like those scary movies when kids are scary and stay under the covers.So funny!
_what s your problem?There is no sports , g sleep.
He wasn´t movie and sign with his finger not even showing his heady out , point the place where the suppose spit was.
I start to looking for some answer and i did found this row on the door that was giving a funny air when struggle by this tiny row.
Straight to him and really give him a shit chicken skin feeling.
I start to laugh and after show him we were both laughing..

Oia,Rias Baixas.Galicia

Had surf this, that day ,but my mind was at the day before.

Was a wrong day wind but after surf this i could think was easy 20 feet the day before.Just the wind was really bad.Strong on shore.Had saw some forecast that showed bigger and no wind.

Might be a good big paddling wave in Europe.

welcome!
