Surf's Up!
I am going to Madeira for Holidays.
What? Madeira?? Only old people goes for holidays to that island! There is nothing there for young people like us.
(Looking at his hair …. grey!) Like you??
Yes! Name one typically thing that young people can do there on that island …. Just name one!
SURFING
The island of Madeira is probably one of the best big wave spots in the entire world. Jardim do Mar (Ponta do Jardim), Paul do Mar, Ponta Pequena and so on.
Not many people knows this …. but slowly the waves are reaching the fanatic surfers all over the world about this hidden surf paradise.
Want some proof? Just check out for example the weblog MADEIRASurf … with beautiful images of Madeirense surfers taming the Atlantic waves.
But mind you …. Madeira is NOT for the beginners … this is for PRO’s only. Madeira is the perfect cult location for the first class surfers. It floats perfectly receiving the swells from the North Atlantic Ocean.
Check it out, dude! (= 70’s slang). Surf’s up on Madeira.
