There is a reason why most people that surf Super Tubes in Peniche near Lisbon are body boarders

Snapped_board_on_wave_before_mine_aThe Kentos took this shot and surf video of the wave that cost this surfer his board, she counted 3 snapped boards in 20 mins including my favourite Bushman semi gun. This is the first time I have surfed this wave and will def'  be back for some more...However, it must be pointed out that the body boarders rule at this spot. Going out in Lisbon tonight as have no boards left to surf.... Obrigado Super Tubos  p.s will upload surf pictures to surfgsd flkr soon.

Oahu, Hawaii.

  • Perfect_righthand_point_peeling_at_lani_
    I love Hawaii, it's that simple. Every wave tests you and your ability. I truly believe that if one is to be a surfer he/she must travel to the home of surfing to sample it's delights at least once.
