Graduation!

One more week until i graduate from Oporto british school, and will finally be able to only think about surfing, no more school. This summer is going to be epic, the plans are that I am going to be spending my time in Ericeira, Portugal at lapoint to train and work, plus entering the majority of the ASP european junior. THIS SUMMER IS GOING DOWN IN HISTORY!

circuito regional de espinho 2010 17/18 april.

The contest started off with ok to good conditions, with nearly no wind, with some nice right handers breaking of the water jetty. I was in the first heat of the open of the day, and the conditions looked promising. As the heat starts we all took a couple of waves, but for me the board felt a bit strange and i looked under it, the boards was broken in the tail, my reaction was to paddle quickly in and change board as i did that the heat was practically over, however i ended up winning the heat with an ok score of 13 something. As the day continued they ran all the bodyboard heat and there was no more surfing that day, because the high-tide came and it went flat.

The second day of contest was the same, with good conditions and right handers, but this time instead of breaking my backup board a managed to get my new and really good ripcurl wetsuit stolen and long with that other people lost theirs as well. However the day was coming to and end and I have surfed a couple of heats, it was time for the mens open final, were there were two Portuguese surfers, one Brazilian and a swede. the conditions were rubbish nearly no waves, because of the high-tide if you got a wave you were lucky! But not to complain I ended up 3rd overall.
