Watch: Raw Portugal Barrels

No names, no music, not even any turns, just anon Portuguese tube hounds making all the right moves on a winter's afternoon.

Between the low-angled light and what appears like an all day offshore, it makes a Southern Hemi surfer long for the seasons to roll on.

Funny, I hated it! Or more accurately, hated the locals. Totally an awesome wave, surprised to see it so uncrowded here

Swellnet playing fast and loose with the truth again. Several turns to be seen in that clip.

Sick wave, and how perfect are the conditions! Same spot Nathan Florence visited on his slab tour recently?

It does look similar, perhaps explaining the lack of crowd, heavy spot!

Never been there but my guess is Its the other "real good spot" on a slightly oversize day

There were some seriously good turns in critical parts of the wave, awesome to watch.

Please more videos like this one. No annoying music, no slo-mo, no arty farty effects… Just surf and nothing else

The João Mendonça Show! The kid has that place so wired. Best barrel rider in Portugal atm.

Over the falls in the lip @ 2min - priceless.

That first wave of the clip made it look very user friendly. Clearly not so.
