2012_02_20 - single fin size

smaller and fatter than the previous days but, still way overhead.

2013_02 - Again...

in that little spot we all know, another one felling the excitement of that lip way over is head... just before a pretty nice closeout!!!

finally I was able to have a break while that little left in Arrifana was working. I really missed that pealing waist high longboard wave. sunshine and 4 hours in the water with a couple of friends. even here this isn't a typical winter day!!!

2013_01_19 - misleading perfection

it was a really strong offshore day. the sky was covered with dark clouds and gusts of sand and rain hitting me sideways. an occasional perfect right-hand appeared from time to time and among 10 guys in the water there was only one going for them. getting fed up with the conditions I was about to leave, when suddenly, I understood the persistence of that surfer. the unexpected cover-up resulted in this overexposed photograph and I saw the wave thru Jasper's (surfer) eyes.

2013_02_06 - what a school this is!

about 5 years ago I introduced to surf a really good friend of mine. he started with a soft-top and had a very slow evolution until 1 year ago. in this last year he has been following us more and more to the several line ups of this amazing coast. now... I'm hearing stories that he has been surfing perfect double over-head lefts in the other side of the globe! we might not have perfect pealing point break waves every single day but, this coast line is without a doubt a wonderful school.

2013_01_30 - the backyard session n.???

so far this year, we have been surprised with an amazing amount of good days in our backyard. one day is small and fat for the average athlete and the next day is too big even for the most courageous and reckless riders!
