2013_02_09 - finally...
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_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!

2012_07_08 - little bro
my brother was in town for a short little visit, and what a visit it was!
waterpark, coffees , barbecues, beers, surf, outstanding meals provided by our sister, motorcycle rides and a lot more! but true to the portuguese reputation, we mainly ate and drank!
without a doubt an amazing quality family time.
2012_05_24 - the flying visitor
about a year ago I met two brothers while surfing in Amado, both cool guys with a laid back style.
once back in the sand we had a real good time, but probably due to the fact that they came with their mother and she had enough sandwiches for an entire battalion.
now he came back for a short visit.

2008_11 - surfing with soul
you may know him or not, but if you were in Arrifana in a good peeling day, for sure you have seen him.
he simply represents what surfing is all about, with him I learn to enjoy this lifestyle just a little more.

2012_02_08 - Mr. Pente vs. surf forecast
with the phone ringing constantly, I had all the gear set for a nice morning.
early light, nice swell and wonderful period.
yesterday night windguru "said" it was going to rock today...
of course there were a couple of surf forecasts that didn't agree... but obviously they were wrong.
well!!!
how many times did this happen already?
we all want to believe in the best forecast possible, if there is a slight chance of a short and wonderful surf session... we create an image of a perfect day!
but upon a energising breakfast, a quick rush to the car and an insane race to the beach...
reality strikes and the day is doomed.

2011_11_24 - offshore in Arrifana
in a morning with offshore winds, nice swell and cold temperatures, there was almost the perfect combination for a really great photo...
