XXL winners and what affect future

Shane Dorian is now the main guy on big wave surf.

He came to europe this year and that affect a lot my way to see big surf.

How he train hard to be fit and need less oxygen. Breath techniques between sets,the important of safety ...and the best thing i d learn with him, boards..He will be in the top for many year still and i am thankful to see close how he does and will be try my best next winter!

Shawn Dollar, never really heard about this guy and boon..world record..got a wave bigger than the ones in tow-in .. crazy ..

That makes really think about never use my PWC for tow-in on huge wave..only for safety and slabs.

Keala...Chick got the only barrel i saw at Jaws in the backside..how s that?

Greg is a well prepared  big wave surfer.He will be on top for many and many years!

Portugal big surf 3 spots

we first surf at Nazaré,and decided to find a spot  where we could be able to surf not needing the pwc as a safety in every single wave.
As Alex Botelho said, the work you do in Nazare is not worth the 2/3 waves you surf.
I decied only comebak there with a big team (as Shane's visit day).
Alentejo for me will be the next big wave surf of Europe.
It is far outside and when we got there( best tide and wind) , was big and perfect and only 10/12 feet 14/15 sec.

Beach front

Have been some funny little waves..

In between take care kids, training and all this fll daddy day...

Stoked to be able to sneak some surf!

Ericeira harbour

As i said before i do not think will be ever one international wave.

But how fun is paddle by the harbour and when you almost there a big set come wash you and you need try all over again.

I call this training..

With big board, paddling a lot and have fun going straight.

wy straight, cause if you make the wave and  a big set comes will be a hard time and even a deadly moment.As the rocks the other side of the harbour will not smile for you when you reach that place.

Ericeira harbour

This video was not suppose to get out now.

I will upload next full video with all 3 spots soon!

Alentejo big surf.Paddle

 First of all big thanks to the locals.
The good vibe they are put on this waves to be ridden s amazing!!
Special thanks to my close friend Pedro Buga who was tell me about this wave since we went to a trip up to France to watch the world tour contest.He was always saying , let s check this wave down south!

Here is Sebastian Steudtner and myself.

Freaking guy grew up on a lake and got a giant bomb at Nazare the day before!

We got there a bit late and wind turns, making the wave all weird.As breaks far out, make me remind Belharra.

Alex Botelho always happy bout a big wave and stoked.Cause after a crazy not calm session at Nazare this waves was like a funny playground.

From the water waves looks way biggerThis was the first wave that came trought.i d paddlepaddle

First wave that came trought, i d paddle to deep and just ate me in the middle of the take off. When i pop up Alex came back from his ride ask me if i was all right and tell me : _ you almost made it,hahahahat
Some take off was lots of fun as the wind came couples bumps on the wave.some take of was so much fun, that one i almost felt and my hand touch the water stabilizing it.
 Tom Buttler was with us doing security at both sessions, got one nice wipeout at this one but jsut pull out 4 teeth and wasn t feeling in shape.

surfboard traffic

Back in the days stories of surfers traffic with their boards were often and even says all the big surf companies were build from that. After that wipeout (side photo), i got a bit worry and out of confidence for the next waves.

Air came under the board and i free fall.

After see Shane Dorian board, talk to Danilo Couto i got my own knowledge and i am trying this crazy thing of put leds in the board.I first put the board under my arms(As Danilo told how to do it), and felt where is the middle point.

Did some measures..

My friend from Jobsite surfboards and local boy from Sao Juliao(and i call him the god father), did the whole work for me, open rows and .

fix inside it.

Next thing will be a painting tomorrow with my daughter with my new colours..

As a fren-brazilian surf i d choose this colours for my boards..

Uma never will let me painting by myself!

Garret Macnamara at Brazil

The best part of this for me is when he says Rodrigo charges, cause he really does.
Some nice questions about Antonio Silva waves been bigger than his and
that he was Shane he should got more coverage...
