classic - Infelizmente ofir tem vindo a perder a sua mistica. Os dias de boas ondas são cada vez mais raros e o ambiente dentro e fora de água já não é o que era.Tenho saudades dos tempos de boas surfadas na companhia de boa gente: para o dinis, o grilo, o menage, o gilete, o filipe, alvaro e queirós, um grande abraço! Good vibes!!!!

Sorry? Surfing in my garden? - You bastards talk too much and surf too less.The best surf I remember was on the late 80s, with much better sand points along the beach. When it was 5 people in the water, it was crowded! When a foreign surfer was seen, we used to say: "Hey a surfer!", instead of "hey, fucking crowd!". Surf was a real pleasure, it was not fashion and not for masses.At that time, some of you were learning to talk, so, please respect the 'velha guarda'. You need to FEEL the surf, before you claim yourself as a surfer.* good surf finishes with a good joint ;)
