SURFING in Portugal!

Yup today was a good day. I'm in the countryside beside the best surfing beach of Portugal. I really like this.

So I changed hostels and towns and am getting way more used to this traveling-solo-in-a-foreign-country thing.

So today I went surfing. The water is light and warm but you still need a wetsuit. But it was sooooooooo windy. To the death of me! This ain't no Tofino, folks. No beach break. Just huge waves crashing. Never a break and no sets. I was on a 6.8 almost-funboard and I only caught about five green waves.

However due to the wind... the kite surfers and wind surfers were having a blast. They are so cool. I was mesmerized while watching them do flips ontop of the waves. They really get a lot of air!

I don't look anything like I normally do. No make-up and I've stopped brushing my hair all together. I'm looking more and more like my position as homeless. haha! But people here in Portugal are way less image contious and I really appreciate this of the people. Everyone is just so relaxed.
