Rias Altas.Galicia

I think this left slab up north in Galicia will be a solid bodyboard destination and tow slab.

Kind hard to find.Even if you go at the  city you might know a local to get there.Jetgalica could be the best option..or tripsurf Galicia,

Locals boguies already had surf long time ago, but i think more and more pro-surfer will get to surf the place.

Alex Botelho checking waves from the channel with me..

and well surf it!

New kid on the block..BWWT,Natxo Gonzalez

I was in Ireland with a bunch of friend waiting for the swell.
I could not make for Punta Galea contest as i want to go.
But was a mission to make it.
Needed to go back home to Ericeira.
Get my big boards..and drive all the way up north Spain.
I pulled out!
I am stoke to see another kid name on big wave surfing.
And better than that following the paddling way.
More and more the world of surfer s going back this way and leaving the tow-in for big barrels only that you can not paddle in.
I think i do not know this kid, Natxo Gonzalez(he will have some great waves on the big wave world tour).

Tiago Pires increasing the high level of surf

I went all the way up to Peniche from Ericeira looking for waves.

Price of Portugal, Tiago Pires was busy some where but said he wish go surf.

For me was nice, cause from the beginning of the winter i never try my 6,1 Rob Vaughan Billabong surfboard.

We end up surfing the bay of Peniche.Some funny waves.I had try one left first, not good at all and met Tiago in the middle of the beach.

When i wa spaddling there he got a sick barrel..

Not wide as many other spots in POrtugal, but very hard to make it and he used a sick technique to be able to get out the barrel. 

My 6,1 was so small in my feet that i was kind a crazy no rail surfer sometimes..

Good fun!

All will be out at go-s.tv soon.

Thanks Luiz for the shots!

Tom Butler

Met Tom at Mullagmore last year.

From that the kid is always pushing himself on big surf.

Went to Chile, rode some big barrels paddling..got one sick one at Nazare paddling another day..

Nowadays, he is sponsor less but i know with such big potential some sponsor will come soon!

Rescue at Cabo Silleiro , Galicia during world spear fishing championship.

Crazy moment.

I was on the boat a bit sea sick when life guard, jetgalicia founder Bruno Novoa had call me all stressed ..

_change fast..we are on intervention...one guy disappear and they found his buoy.

We get there in the middle of the rocks where no boats could go and when he got the buoy only a fish came out..

I was so stressed to find a dead body that i start to think..what i am doing here..

In the end the guy was on a Spanish boat... did not speak spanish and was all good.

Nazare giant..

I just arrive home and watch all this big day at Nazare coming every where on internet.
I could not make it as my partner is at panama on a surf trip and you really need experience drivers out to Nazare.
Here to big ones from the day.I wish could see another angle from Antonio´s waves.
Garret angle is amazing.

Good job from Photographer To Mane.

Paddle Mullaghmore.Ireland

Danilo Couto, Khol Christensen , Alain Riou, Fergal Smith ,Nic Von Rupp and my self trying to have some waves.

My call, really hard to take off behind.

Sure, this day a bit to small.

Think should be minimum 15feet to be able to take off on the first bubble and pull in on the thing..not sure you can make it, cause the boils are crazy.

contest might be on soon on a really big day.

Good fun!

Thanks Boys to come from HAwaii.

Back to North Ireland

Got here yesterday night.

Came in the plane with Nic Von Rupp And Jose Pedro Gomes(Who gave me this clip and was shooting video)

Got at Mulaghmore and first person i saw was Khol who came with Danilo Couto to paddle.

Nothing that good to paddle today as wind was bad.

HAve hopes for tomorrow.

Nic von Rupp, Sebastian Steuder and Peter got some crazy ones.

I did not!

Let see how things goes tomorrow and my vibe is better now cause my wife just said my on month kid is way better(he could not brief well).

Ready!!!
