Order an Uber Whale,Soooo.i just did a woops upside the head
Facepalm
Head to steering wheel-desk-whatever...
Moment.
Nazare...its in Portugal
Just up a little ways from Lisbon
Near a...
Camino...
Which also happens to coinside with my want to go to Santiago....journey..
You see...
I shoot surfers
One of the few here in town
Surftographer
Photo-er...of surfers and our bitty waves
While Nazare..has
HUUUGE Waves
Some of the biggest in the world
Sone of the biggest names go and slide there..
Soze...here is the issue..
I had planned to walk east ish..to west ish
No too much north ish..as its all uphill
Nor
South ish..as its all downhill until 0'latitude...
Then its all uphill again..
I digress...
So now..my timeline has shifted
This time of year the waves and surfers meet there
A man has a camera
A man has travels
A man has dilemma...
Now a certain photographer\poet\wanderer-r... has plans to get to finisterre..and turn left
Its gonna be a loooong walk i think.
Nice wave you've got there in TX! I agree with not wasting time at Maverick's, its too far from shore. I've always wanted to go to Pipe but Nazare tops it for me, especially if you can throw in a winter Camino to boot! I think you've really touched on an interesting topic... "a Camino surf trip"!Nova
I shoot surf here in South Texas...our shore breaks fron storms get up to round 3 meters or so ..ive shot sets around Novembers storms that were round 2.50 to 3.m
I found out about Nazare from a few surfers that i talked with between sessions..my first big waves were going to be Marvericks..until i found that they really dont need amature's like me..too far away and not enough good glass...
Small mountains they are!!
Getting to the North Shore will cost about as much as the whole Pilgrimage would cost in airfare..sigh..so not this year
Nazare is close enough to reach from Santiago that a bus ride is doable...
Its on the agenda and hopefully i can coincide the dates to arrive when the masters are there
This years was Feb 8th ish so it may be a late winter camino..what will happen is i will be there when i get there.
All there is to do is the saving up for 2 things..a new camera body and the cost of the trip...
This was the smaller of 3 days in Nov..big for us.
So...@William Garza...an update, please, now that Jill has bumped this thread. Did you go? Or are you going?
