It´s been a while since I do this calendars, probably 6 years now, skipped last year though (beer septicemia)... This year I am making them right and they are going to arrive in time for sure. Still fixing colors in a couple, but I think it is looking great already. I want to make 2020, … Continue reading 2020 Calendar
Stumbled upon this video of Frank the other day. It´s almost 50 years olds, but the song remains the same. We are stuck home, unhappy with almost zero liberty. It´s for our safety our great governors say. The airports are still open with no quarentines and very few control. Check it out: https://youtu.be/Y0F174HJpRI "The composer … Continue reading Stay Home
I have been following this storm for some days now. Even Alex was amazed by it, and kind of bummed because he is injured. It changed to 7.2 at 19seconds interval with light onshore winds, but it is still epic in my eyes. One of the biggest in some years I think. Thought about going … Continue reading Fabien
There should be a comma in the title. I wouldn´t mind the name Russel though, kiwi Russel Crow is a cool bloke and this kid... what a bout Russel Bierke? Maybe the most talked surfer of the moment, right? His clip FLOWSTATE is setting the surf world on fire, for sure! Well, I met him not … Continue reading Russel Brek
I started logging some years ago after I saw Gato Heroi surfing at the Salinas Longboard festival, back in the day. It was not easy for me to make the transition after 3 decades of carving on little thrusters. I was only riding single fins at the end, but still I struggled. The finesse needed … Continue reading Crème De La Crème

Eurico Romaguera aka Kiko is a classic surfer who doesn´t like dawn patrols. He is allergic to kooks and bad taste in … Continue reading In Between Magic: Searching For Eurico Romaguera
I was surfing the the point at Ponta Ruiva when my friend Mealha told me Chipa Wilson was going crazy in the beach break. I heard Wasted Talent mag crew was around so had my gear at the car. Caught a wave in, got my housing ready and went for a swim. Got to shoot … Continue reading The Unexpected Wasted Talent Movie Premier In Lagos
I love living in the Algarve, kook territory nowadays... I don´t get to shoot pro surfers that much. I really don´t care because I like to take pics of empty waves, seascapes, etc anyway, but it was allright to hang out with Marlon, Gony and specially guest Tanner Gudauskas for a change though. This guys … Continue reading Orang Gudang
Quick selection of photos from 2 days of unusual hurricane surf. We rarely get tropical storms in this parts, usually it is northwest swells, sometimes west. The last comparable one was recorded in 1851! Lorenzo was southwest/west, that is why it didn´t hit Nazare right. Down here was fantastic though, wedges, reefs and pointbreaks working … Continue reading Lourenço
Met Nelson Paulino aka Kid at my beach the other day. He was with his friend Ilda. After a brief introduction I felt like I should take some pics, she is a fan of my work... There was nothing extraordinary happening, but the light was alright. Tried some speed blurs and backlit stuff. The reflections … Continue reading Doc Ilda
