the big wave exploration

Living in Galicia not always i have the opportunity to surf all the waves that i want cause not many expirience driver and surfers to be outside at the wild ocean.
Most of the time without support as ambulance or any other lifeguards in case of big accidents.

when surfers like Ross-clarck Jones , Sylvio Mancusi ( and Sylvio´s wife Bia and kid Ben, Marcelo and Marco Tulio Cameras,Ross girlfriend Ella with Lino Bogalho),  come for a visit i try to surf the most of it.
We start at Coruña, but winds did not got as good as we expected.

My student Juan Fernandez had a really good wave this day.

The last day of the trip  Ross left with his crew to surf Nazaré.
I had stay with Sylvio behind and we had a try to this spot that was surfed by legend Basque surfer Ibon Amatrian back in the days.
Harbor was close and we do say big thanks to Burela´s captain that left us go throught.
Might say that they saw us surfing the slab one they before and already new us .
Local Oscar, from Coge3, help us a lot too and is always good to have local support.
