Matias Baço, 17yo, a former Youth National Champion, lives down South, between the Portuguese “by the sea” areas of Odeceixe and Zambujeira do Mar.
Here’s the story behind this shot. According to Matias, he was following the forecast for weeks now and more closely when the Erin Hurricane started to show in the European charts – last week.
So when the conditions and all the elements seemed to be all aligned to a certain spot, he arranged everything with his friend Daniel and both ended up driving Down South at 5:00AM!
When they arrived at the beach, the swell was still small but it got bigger during the day, as the image attests, leaving everybody with a smile on their face.
Boom!
