Sometimes trips come up with more than you expected... I always wanted to spend some time in Portugal´s North, a place where I´ve never really been, and just knew there would be some nice Beachies as long as conditions are right. My friend Jan had to use up his "old holiday" as well, so we booked a flight for the next day to cruise around a bit down there, have a few relaxed days off, and the first glimpse of springtime and Sun.We ended up having some pretty good days at the beachbreaks in the North, but full on and really dumpy 6-10ft. nearly Closeout Barrels. Then we headed off to Peniche, caught Supertubos great, and went on for a Saturday Night in Lisbon. Next morning straight back to Peniche, and another couple of nice days there... It was a really pleasant trip, we had great weather, the cheesiest Sunsets & Sunrises, great food and found some really nice waves. Sitting here now back in Munich amazed how much you can actually fit in a week off, and how far you get your mind from everyday´s life here. Good times.
