Storm Charles, morning update
It’s shifted away from Lisbon. The latest updates show the south getting hit hardest, with winds of up to 130 km/h and the whole Faro region on red alert. Windy and rainy here, but a lot milder.
Surprisingly, the storm has also brought some decent waves.
Wishing all the best to everyone down south. Hope there’s not too much destruction.

Storm Charles, important update
A massive storm is hitting Portugal tomorrow. We’re expecting gusts of up to 140 km/h, waves of 4 to 7 metres and heavy rain, with up to 100 mm possible in just 12 hours in some areas. Red warnings are in place across large parts of the country.
Hopefully it doesn’t hit as hard as predicted, but this is not one to be underestimated. Stay safe out there.

Weekend vibes 🌊🏄🏻♂️✨

The feeling of riding this wave was indescribable. Most likely one of the biggest barrels I’ve ever paddled into.
Looking back at this footage, everything looks so perfect, so clean, almost effortless. But it’s hard to describe just how terrifying it actually is to be in a position like this. Facing that much raw power, moving at that speed, with such a shallow reef beneath you. The consequences are enormous, and the margin for error is almost nonexistent.
The speed I picked up dropping down that face, navigating the boils, setting my line and pulling into this massive barrel on my 9’0 @pyzelsurfboards . You can actually see my board almost pearling through the boils further down the wave.
Once I was locked in, the barrel just kept growing and growing, and it felt like it would never end. Trying to manage that big board, generate speed and hold on at the same time. Seconds felt like hours. I was analyzing every little drop of water, trying to control the adrenaline, the fear, the uncertainty and that overwhelming desire to make it out.
It’s hard to put into words what goes through your mind in those moments. That fine line between fear and pure excitement. From the outside, it looks like perfection, but from the inside, it’s a completely different reality.
Without a doubt, one of the most insane visions and best barrels of my life.
Winter’s calling for more.
Special thanks to @clemmcinerney for filming, @mr__mantis for safety, @sligokayaktours for being a legend and @natxogonzalez1 @tomloweyo @conormaguiree for pushing the limits those days!!!
