F---king Love this wave!!!!

Ericera from the South.


Well I haven't really had time to post.

It has really been a busy time since Portugal. But I really wish that I was back there. Shots like this one to the left are the reason why.

Ericera, Oh ERICERA where have you been all of my life. I believe in order for me to be happy I have to have three things. A woman that loves me, plentiful surf around me and great food to feed the machine. When I was Ericera life became complete.

4 amazing point breaks, reef breaks all over and your beach break here and there. Count that with not that many people on the waves and you have Ericera. Don't get me wrong there are guys there and the ones I saw rip hard, but you have to understand California as well. Sometimes you are surfing with everyone and their pets, if you know what I mean.

The wave that I surfed right there was the perfect reef/point. Line up at the rock and start gunning for the right, because this thing throws. The shoulder is steep and moves fast, but not so fast that you can't think of the moves as you go, your mind starts to let loose and everything that you never believed you could do you start to try. FREESTYLE, in it's true definition.


It was so good that we had to spend 4 hours there eat, go back out for another 2.5 hours, wake up the next morning at dawn and go again, each time getting better and better. The messed up thing is this was the 5th break that we investigated, it had the least people (1) and compared to the other points. We are moving soon( I just have to convince Kate!!!)

We rented this room in downtown Ericera for 30 euro a night, a steal for where it was and the rooms are good sized. He even has storage for your boats The owners name was Gus and he used to live in the states so it is good to talk to him about the US and Portugal. Gus also owns a restaurant Peira Dura, which is right next to his rentals. Peira Dura is a great steakhouse with big flat screen TV's to watch all of the soccer games. If you are ever in Ericera, go visit and stay. It is right downtown and across from the Billabong store which makes it easy to find because it is the only Billabong only store in town.

Well I can't tell you everything aboutt this place or else I will have to fight all of you off when I get there.
