Ericeira city center surf


 Long day today..
Took care my daughter middle of the night asking for go to the toilet...and eat..
went to Peniche check the waves as my friend Diko wanted to surf there..
Fiasco..one foot..
Back to Ericeira. we ate at Tasca Boa Viagem and in front was this crazy messy storm right.
I said i will surf and they all trip.
Not cause the size, but cause the storm.


Paddle from the harbor;


Bets waves were breaking by the rocks ..











Totally think will be a big wave spot!
Can wait to surf on low tide clean big days!

nazare jumping from the rocks

I had paddle at Nazare but always going out with a pwc from the harbor.
I know Garret always paddle from the beach and i was think do the same yesterday as the waves were not that big(posting photos from Pedro Mestre soon).
I got there and Sebastian Steudtner was all excited to jump from the rocks.
Short paddle and straight behind the peak
We did , but i was not that happy about it.
Sebastian Steudtner jump first, he send the board and jump after...

did not know what was under and was really scary about touch one rock under the water.

Favela Surf

I met Brazilian pro-surfer long time ago as my first surfboard sponsor Udo Bastos, When i was a kid is his sponsor.
After a while he was on the wqs tour and i was always seen him.
Did travel some times but most of the time hang with one of my best friend from Brazil too, Leo Neves.
I was checking videos with my daughter this morning and found this one.
Touch me and i am stoked to see him helping people from where he is from.
Good job!

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!
