A maleabilidade necessária para surfar durante mais tempo é obtida graças ao Neoprene ÞultrastretchÞ e ao corte «fatigless» que facilita a rotação dos ombros. E para poder voltar mais depressa para a água, o forro em lr135 permite uma secagem rápida entre duas sessões.

Já estava na hora de dedicarmos uma edição inteirinha aos atletas e às ondas portuguesas. Depois de um início de temporada absolutamente fenomenal, parece-me que esta era a melhor forma de dar o devido reconhecimento a quem, diariamente, continua a enfrentar o frio e a chuva invernal em nome do progresso. Em mais de cem páginas partilhamos imagens incríveis, umas mais recentes que outras, mas todas com um denominador comum que é o de mostrar a raça, a atitude e a extrema qualidade dos bodyboarders lusitanos. Espero, sinceramente, que gostem e que nos ajudem a partilhar mais este trabalho pela comunidade. Um bem haja e bom ano para todos!
Well, you know, it was about time to devote an entire issue to the Portuguese riders and waves. The season start was absolutely phenomenal, so I guess this was the best way to give the proper recognition to those who, on a daily basis, continues to face the cold and the rain in the name of progress. In more than hundred pages we are proud to share incredible images, all with a common denominator: the attitude and extreme quality of the Portuguese riders. I truly hope you enjoyed this piece of work and can help us to share it worldwide. Have an awesome new year!

In the past month Ricardo Faustino had a knee injury and wasn’t able to boogie board, but before he was seen riding waves like this in Praia do Norte. Fantastic winter sessions are one of the issue’s features. Amped? No último mês o Ricardo Faustino esteve no estaleiro com uma lesão no joelho, mas antes de isso ter lugar andou a apanhar ondas como esta na Praia do Norte. Fantásticas sessões deste inverno estão em foco nesta edição. Motivado?

It’s always a good thing when a mutant receives a little love. This time the madness went to Pedro Levi, 19, who show us here the quality and undeniable attributes of the Westside.
Fica sempre bem publicar e destacar uma mutante em página dupla. Desta vez a loucura coube a Pedro Levi, de 19 anos, que nos mostra bem a qualidade e os inegáveis atributos da zona Oeste.

On the first glance you may say this is in Brazil, New Zealand or Chile. But no, this is in Praia Grande. Definitely a good portrait of the Sintra winter days.
Podia ser no Brasil, na Nova Zelândia ou no Chile, mas não, é na Praia Grande. Sem sombra de dúvida, um bom retrato do que são feitos os dias de inverno pela zona de Sintra.

39º36’10.9”N 9º4’33.8W In the first days of the winter season this beach granted perfect conditions and unveiled some of the best sessions held on the Portuguese coastline. This psycho-free-fall-air from fellow Jaime Jesus is just a small little cute sample of what went down. Pow Pow! JOÃO SERPA PHOTO
39º20’44.8”N 9º21’47.4”W To discover round and crystalline pipes is not a hard task. There are a lot of beach breaks and reefs that can offer a good dose of fun. Best advice we can give? Just follow your instinct like Rafael Jerónimo (pictured here) did. MIGUEL SOARES PHOTO
39º12’48”N 9º20’39.1”W When the wind turns offshore and the swell starts to pump there is only one thing to do: stop everything you were doing and be in the right place at the right time. Miguel Romero starts the journey… RICARDO AMARAL PHOTO

There are no words to describe the quality and attitude of Porkito through the years. In this recent session, held in a regular big wave spot, he had the work done and was, once again, one of the standouts of the day. PEDRO FERREIRA PHOTO

This wall has been pretty generous for the local sponge community this winter. The funny thing about it is the spot breathes bodyboard by all sides. Steph Kokorelis is one of the young guys to keep an eye. Any doubts? RICARDO AMARAL PHOTO
