Surf zavial,
Many times I get asked what my favorite beach is. Usually I just respond that I like every beach where the waves are best. Most of the time the conversation stops here. Sometimes they keep questioning: And if you need to pick one? I would probably say J-Bay South Africa. But honestly, looking back on all my “good” surfs, zavial scores a lot of times. The Algarve surf is just so different every day it is impossible to pick one spot.

Go hard or go home,
Whenever the waves in zavial are getting over a certain hight, the carpark can still be packed but the line up will be empty. This wave really lights up when its a little bit bigger and its not uncommon to see a broken board.
