I Shot a Wedding

Had the honor to photograph my dear friends Rodrigo and Thais wedding the other day. It was a beautiful simple ceremony by the beach. No poses for the camera, no priest, just love. All the best for you and thanks for the inspiration guys!

Ah, forgot to tell you: my girlfriend searched for Praia da Falesia on the GPS and we ended up being in the other side of the beach, a beach that is 8 miles long! We had to run and walk back all the way back. I am glad we took a torch from the beach bar on the way back…

Random Surfers: Maria

Here is Maria, daughter of Joao Rosario, former portuguese spearfishing champion. Beware. She was into sailing, but started surfing full on an year ago. Its a blessing to have her big smile in the water.

Random Surfers: Pedro João

And here we have Pedro João aka Sherpa a Physical Education Teacher that started surfing at age 43. It´s impressive the wave count he gets every session, I have seen him catch 7 waves in less than 2 minutes! He played soccer, volley ball and did some climbing, maybe that explains something. Always a cool character in the water and funny as hell.

Master Cleanse: Before & After

before & after

Feeling way happier and healthier, thanks Kelly for the tip! This last picture was taken after a big lunch, we call it sardinhada. I ate sardines, salad a little bit of bread and drank wine! I am just cutting on carbohydrates. Last night had a couple of beers too and Gin tonic, eheh! Need to surf more though. Happy cleansing guys!

Master Cleanse: Conclusion

Had to start drinking orange juice on day 6 since I had to work that day and needed more energy. On day seven I started to eat soup and on day 8 regular food. I am not eating white food (rice, bread, milk, etc). I lost 10 kilos, I am 1, 84cm tall and now I weight 83 kgs. I feel great with more energy and I am loving my fruit and salads, although I still eat meat.

I highly recommend this fasting besides feeling lighter and healthier I now respect m body in terms of not puting shit food inside me. My advice to do this is to be at home and if you need sleep for 2 days, just relax do the salt water flush, take the laxative tea and get rid of all the mucus stuck inside you from eating all that crap.

Master Cleanse: Inspiration

If you think I am crazy Kelly is crazy. Check his experience out on the Master Cleanse. Wouldn´t recommend this to everyone though, it´s really hard, just imagine 1 litre hot salt water down your throat! Feel free to ask me any advice on this and happy fasting!

Master Cleanse: Day 3

Doing good on my first master cleanse. Feeling light, calm with clear vision. The only shit is the shit: getting rid of it… The salt water flush is quite effective, but is always a pain. Don´t know about the Senna tea I am taking, it´s not doing much. Also got this white tongue, but it´s normal in this detox. Apart from that honkydonky don´t even think about food or craving of any kind, even beer!

Use only none iodonized salt and never table salt for this, two tea spoons in a litre.

After last year´s near drowning experience I got myself together thanks to Wim Hof aka the Iceman. This year I want to start eating clean so I am doing this 10 day fastenning. Kelly and Occy did it too, check it out here.

I hope to get rid of all the shit in my body. No more processed or white food for me. Wish me luck!

Ice boy Yannick de Jager

Super session here down south mates! Vasco, Yannick and Marlon lit it up here in the sunshine coast of the Algarve. Hotter than July dudes! Yannick´s wim hof´s pratices (or girlfriend)kept him late, but was shredding has usual.

You should have been here yesterday!

A Life in a Day

Back in Ponta Ruiva for a quick surf. The swell was to small and the tide too high. The sky was high. Morey eel sandwich made my belly. Special place no doubt. Thanks again Sagres.
