Kitesurf.....

Haha, became some questions about kiteboarding (due to my previous post)

If it was possible etc..

well... judging by the pics

It's not possible over here ;-) ;-)

A day as many others this holiday..

Started with a walk along the beach. Ofcourse I'm getting hungry ;-).. So walked a little further to my favorite bakery. I don't have to ask, they allready know my recepy..

A big coffee with milk, and a fresh orange juice

And a tosti. And what a tosti! A true filler with energy for the comming day


Old bridge close to the bakery with in the back the bridge that goes to the center of town.

This bridge is made by Eiffel, he also made the tower in Paris

Water time! surfing, kiting, windsurf... Above Fred from Swiss next to a nice tube. Normally I'm not so into the kite thing, unless they purely surf with it. Fred did!. (there are so many out of control "draggers"who only ride purely on their rail up and down..and produce that mega chop)
Joy to watch and fun to share waves with him




Private pool to wash the salt water off :-)


Walk around in the harbour





Refreshing Fanta

Spanish dynamite. Pimentos de Padron. Kind of a small green pepper. Taste like paprika .. super nice.But sometimes you get a "wrong" one... and your mouth is on fire. And I mean real fire!! The top photo wouldn't help. Put them above a fire with loads of olive oil, and afterwards ad some sea salt.



Empty beer bottle during sunset. It was another fine day..

South of town. Beach, Cabedelo


Cabedelo,(on picture looking from south, very early) a nice stretch of beach south of town. Very nice beachbreaks, but also some rocks. When you're lucky you can find magic here.









End of the bay. Where Cabedelo stops and Amorosa starts. 06:00 ;-)


We had some high water/big waves.. Water came up to the dunes and for a moment the beach was gone..



View from the dunes of Cabedelo


Made this pic of a pic that I found in a French surfmagazine. It could have been made here in the dunes..


Me just sitting alone





River in the midle of the bay

Nice light,but for sure I'm gonna crash

Suicide kiters

In the hot Portuguese summer a bushfire is not a rare thing. To fight the fires they often use planes. Some kiters wanted wanted first row seats?!?

Look how heavy the plane is when it's full of water. A difficult take off. They should give the pilot a GoPro camera, should be a nice view ;-)
