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!

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.
