No names, no music, not even any turns, just anon Portuguese tube hounds making all the right moves on a winter's afternoon.
Between the low-angled light and what appears like an all day offshore, it makes a Southern Hemi surfer long for the seasons to roll on.
"That board felt like the starting point for a new life."
The inner mechanics of Russell's mind.
Sniffing out the bounty on land and at sea.
From a day with a low wave count yet high consequence.
Like a hundred social media clips joined together but not on social media.
Seeking darkness on a sunny day.
And Matahi lifts the bar yet again.
Bite size humans in king size waves.

Love that place...no crowd, epic waves and no Nic Von Rupp...beautiful.
Funny, I hated it! Or more accurately, hated the locals. Totally an awesome wave, surprised to see it so uncrowded here
Swellnet playing fast and loose with the truth again. Several turns to be seen in that clip.
Sick wave, and how perfect are the conditions! Same spot Nathan Florence visited on his slab tour recently?
It does look similar, perhaps explaining the lack of crowd, heavy spot!
Never been there but my guess is Its the other "real good spot" on a slightly oversize day
Old mate got some awesome toobs but a couple of good beatings as well.
There were some seriously good turns in critical parts of the wave, awesome to watch.
Please more videos like this one. No annoying music, no slo-mo, no arty farty effects… Just surf and nothing else

The João Mendonça Show! The kid has that place so wired. Best barrel rider in Portugal atm.
Over the falls in the lip @ 2min - priceless.
That first wave of the clip made it look very user friendly. Clearly not so.
Wow!
