Happy Sunday folks! Today was a super fun day… I got to spend it out in one of may favorite places, the ocean. That’s right, a boat trip. It’s always nice to mix up the perspective with the photos. So let’s see what today brought us.

It was a an early start, like a 5am start; but that didn’t slow Sérgio down one bit.

You’d be surprised to see how many people are still gracing our surf breaks that are accessible only by boat. The first place we checked had a pretty good pack on it, so I decided to take my amigos to a better spot where they had the waves all to themselves.. and as you can see, with some size too! This is where local surf knowledge pays off!

The photos actually do make it looks a bit better than it was (we’ve had this onshore mess for a bit). But when you have a surf spot all to yourselves, who can complain?

Sheet glass is what it looks like, so we’ll take it anyway we can get it, right boys!?!

There were a few growlers that came through. Here, Sérgio contemplates his next move.

With the tide getting just about right for us to go check another spot, we figured it was time to head to and move on to maybe some bigger and better waves.

Arriving to the next location, we were lucky boat number 3. Rafael didn’t even re-wax up, and was out there nabbing a few of the first few waves.

Sérgio isn’t small by any means, but he certainly make this wave look pretty small. If you need a recap ref, look at image number 7 again. That’s a good sized wave!!!

Gabriel was tied for sitting deepest along with his amigo Danilo, so the distance was all them if they could connect one of these classic 200 yard lefts; which he was doing on this very wave.

Here’s another shot of Gabriel floating a big section trying to make it around to connect for that perfect 200 yard ride.

This is Danilo, the other one I mentioned who was sitting pretty deep out the back.

I forgot to mention that a little while back, the two other boats left so these guys were surfing this place all to themselves for the rest of the day.
