Chien errant funny storys

Met my surfclub surfing at Viana do Castelo.Didn`t know but they are my club in Galicia..funny..Nice peoples.Good vibes see and travel with the groms.got in their van and came to watch the Biarritz Womens pro..This is close friend Coco HO.third place finisher.great surfer, great family.they have the surf in the vain!


This was a Nike team dinner.i am with than cause after sleep with Joao de Sonis ( my old house up at Côte des basgues) , i was going to sleep at Betania and Philipe home.(and he works for Nike).
He told me such a funny story too.He was at Cers getting ready one injury, best place to do that around, even Ronaldo went there).
 One night he got another guy on the room, tipical Morrocan guy and soon as he got in the room he made one stick to smoke.he told hin: man, the nurses never knock the door.
After a coiple minutes the guy was still smoke one of than got inside and he put the stick on his pants.
She gave a litle shit and left.
His pants start to get fire and he was on tipical Morrocan speaking french : ¨mais putin, mon jooging fait chier¨
They got to go see the director and he ask Philipe if he smoke.Before his answer the guy said: Oh , il fumme memme pas celui la..
and you mister?
Moi, je ne fume pas dit tout moi et quand je fume, je fume dans mon coin..
After a couples days he was out, but berofe that one night Philipe was checking the waves outiside , cause the Cers is by Capbreton front beach view and the guy came to smoke one stick and close the thick door.
Booth stuck outside below 2 celcius, no one around.
Philipe went to call the up room with the guy sticking him with the belt and 30 m fall under him.
One broke guy saw him and thought he felt form the top room...hauhauahua
This is funny.Alex Laurel, friend and photographer invite me to dinner and wath ¨la prise bastille¨ fireworks.i came by bike cause http://www.hitchhikers.org ( not this one but i just check this one to goback home), was my way o get in France, so no car.

Viana do Castelo surf.north of Portugal

I´ve been hang with my family at the step parents house.
We been doing this almost every summer.
Nice house by the tow of Caminha.
the view is Tecla montain on Spain and the border river Minho.
Calm place, with good sand beach banks and short crew of addict surfers.
Water is always cold, as Portugal does´t get the gulf stream as France....

Apnea

Friend of mine Saraiva, who lives at Niterói, the next big city after the bridge from Rio city and a dive lover, was here visiting Europe.
We came from Hossegor,France where he was at Patrick Beven´s house a common friend.


We did a couple long briefs to start and that change already my static time of apnea.And after that we did dynamic swim apnea..

finishing by static again..
Get a way better time , but more than that i feel way more comfortable under the water.

Surfeurope _ Mavericks


I like a lot this shot..not cause is Mavericks and i really don' t think i charged as i want there and even don' t think that what was a radical drop.
Was one of those to big for the guys waiting at the spot and i was coming back from my best wave i had there.
I like dthis shot cause my friend and the guy who i was staying with at his house is eating shit on the top of the wave..only can see his board.
And the other surfer looking at me is another firend who i met there and is a really good surfer there.
Alex Martins.
We all in a same photo!
Stoked!
Good friends!
Congrats Alex for the new baby and hurry Joao to have one, you getting old,auhauauauahauha

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.



empty summer destination.Arraial do Cabo.Brazil

Walking alone looking for the spot..

A perfect 1,5 m right asking for turns..

Bleu water, white sand, to hot for wear a spring suit..

and barreling..
Welcome to Arrail do Cabo..
Best spots for stay..
