Surfin

Willing to go to anywhere I always am.
Besides the freaky landing in Lisbon I got to Portugal first time ever on Thursday march the 20th. I mean the landing because things in Life can be tricky...I had just heard about that incident in Hamburg, I was flying "jump" way back with the stewardess and ye the plane hit the ground and got up in the air. Enough to start my trip pumping some adrenaline.

Arriving early would allow me to get to any beach as soon as possible. I was in told by a HH girl that surfs about Peniche...it sounded like a good surf spot. Skipping further details, because it actually is nice I just didnt know, I managed to get a bus and arrive late at night in Peniche. Found a place to sleep and just wanted to head straight to the beach early morning.

Could not resist to take a walk a night. Wonderful little city. The streets are all narrow and dont why it just felt so good. Maybe I was missing some place where it was easy to communicate. Anyways, the town itself is charming and neat. Some little squares all around remind me a lot the small towns in Brazil, those little benches and even there was a coreto. It is just a sort of a stage centered in a square to whoever wants to present something make his/her show.

In the morning I headed to Casais do Baleal where really some surfing could happen. There is nice touristic structure around this area and people are ready to receive more people. I was already in touch with people from the Peniche Surf Camp got a cab and arrived for surfing.
They rent boards, wet suits, are very receptive and patient with starting surfers.

Some windy stormy weather reminded me all the time I was in Europe. However it helps on the waves side. I surfed for four days which was a bless for me. Two days the waves had a nice size the other two where just fun. People were crazy there...
