Peahi 2004

Clips for a film featuring Dave Kalama, Darrick Doerner and Laird Hamilton. Pretty cool most of it... if you ignore Laird when he is talking it is even better...

Saturday.. with a camera!

Today we decided to go to Caparica. It was me , nuno and quintao. Gustavo has his knee phocked up so he couldn't make it. It wasn't that good today, it didn't look anything special, so I decided to take the watertight camera with me and get some photos of us in the water. One of the best decisions ever!

So, I wasn't having that much fun, my right shoulder was hurting as hell, so I dropped my board on the sand and decided to start taking some photos.

Later some bigger waves started rolling in and got my wave of the day. No photos of that on tho.

Now for some photos that we took today:

Weekend report

This weekend we got some surf going over here. Saturday we went to Costa quite early (11 o'clock there) and got the low tide. It was quite alright. Got a couple of good waves , but my arms started to get tiered really fast. Still , we were in the water 3 hours and a bit. Gusy was surfing good. Nuno was there aswell and caught one or two waves.

Sunday we went surfing around 4 in the afternoon. We caught the high tide. The sea was a lot worst than on Saturday. Getting on the outside was really difficult. We basically stayed there just playing around with the smaller waves, and Nuno was catching some rides, which was wicked. Finally tried out the 7'10 and it was really good ... smooth riding and stuff.

We got no pictures of this weekend... really sorry!

Oh my lord... how bored can a guy get!!!!!

Hi everyone!
Pretty decent surfing happening here... just not for us! Why is that, you may ask! Well cause we have been stuck at work! I can't even express how fuc*in upset I am!

So , surf is up around central Portugal. Guincho is getting a bit bigger and not as regular as the other spots, but at least yesterday it was surfable. Caparica and Linha are getting really good surf.

So, this weekend, I think we'll check out Caparica. We haven't been there for a while... looks as good as any other place, so ... we'll see.

For now, this clip from California:

Happy New Year!!!!

So a new year is year, and loads of news to be reported from the past few weeks.

I'll start with a departure. One of the 6'2 we had is going to go away. Nuno will be selling it ASAP to convert it into money! On the other hand, he has just bought a brand new 7'10 epoxy board. Very very very sweet. We haven't tried it out yeat, but it is going to be loads of fun to surf with. Not as wide as the 7'6 but it is sure to be a wave catching machine. I got it at my place at this mo and I'll try to get some pictures of it in here as soon as possible.

Also, away with the long hair. Just had a hair cut a couple of days ago. Lookin' pretty sexy I must say! Have had girls faint on my sight in the past few days... it will take me another few weeks to master this new found power!

Now, more important issues, no surfing going on for the past weeks for me. Gus had some surfing during the Christmas break, but nothing much. We'll try to get some this next weekend. I was thinking about Caparica or something like that, so we can test drive the new 7'10.

I think it is all for now. A Happy new year to you all.
