Home @ São Miguel

Sabe tão bem voltar a casa, respirar fundo e sentir a saudade a acalmar.

Após sete meses passados nas terras da Sua Majestade, Inglaterra volto aos Açores. Inglaterra foi mais um capítulo cheio de coisas boas e coisas menos boas, carregado de experiências, histórias e viagens memoráveis. Nunca vou esquecer a água gelada de Inglaterra e todos os que fizeram parte desta jornada.

Agora é hora de novos projetos, novos desafios e novos objetivos a serem cumpridos.

Após duas semanas á minha chegada, esperava-se ansiosamente por um swell de sul, as "inchas" era o que se ouvia falar mais na praia. Foi uma semana recheada, lembro me de duas manhãs e de um final de dia no ponto mais alto do swell de altas ondas.

Obrigado pelos clicks Rui Soares e Carlos Duarte!

It feels so good to come back home, take a deep breath and note the longing fading away.

After seven months in the lands of Her Majesty, England I'm back to Azores. England was another chapter full of good things and less good things, full of experiences, stories and memorable trips. I will never forget the frozen water of England and all those who were part of this journey.

Now it's time for new projects, new challenges and new goals to be accomplish.

After two weeks my arrival was expected eagerly for a swell from South, on the beach we just heard about the "Inchas". It was a week filled with waves, I remember of two mornings and a final day at the highest point of the swell full of pumping waves.

Cheers the men behind the lens!

Highlights from Newquay - Cornwall

Just arrived from Newquay, Cornwall... Although I've not caught good waves, it was a great journey, made friendships with awesome people around the world, saw beautifull places, made new life stories and took the course has bodyboard intrutor level 1.

Cornwall has so much to see, wish had more time to search and surf other places but didn't get a good forecast and time was short, still surfed a fun wedge in Tolcarne beach but in the end the goal was accomplished. I'm a bodyboard instrutor graduated by Academy of Surfing Instrutors.

Next stop - Cornwall

Is been a while that Cornwall caught my attention, before I came to England I've been searching and following some footage of beautifull beaches, the typical cornish culture, castels, riders, pumped wedges and reef breaks as well.
I'll also take a course as a bodyboarder instructor level 1, so I can explore this area , teach and give my advices to new ones and maybe start my own business.

This time I will go on my own for one week, if there's still anyone who wanna join me, go head.

Cornwall has such good riders as any other place, and also a big industry of bodyboard and surf, in my head I see as a very interesting place to visit.

Can't wait to return to the sea.
