Posted in Surf  by admin | May 20th, 2009

A quite big (but not huge)  south swell bombing our coast middle of april 2009, the beach was too heavy, so we decided to check some reef break close to us. With the legendary Feroza we left TP quickly  and we found the first break at 40 min driving…the tide was too low…we  decided to wait but on-shore F…king wind start blow all the coast…some nice set growing   but too choppy! this wind was looking like to f…k our session…but the Italian dude got a beautiful idea: If here is on-shore other side of the coast must be on shore….mhmmm…let’s try!  so… back to the car, 6 people, 6 boards…on the way we found all the village driving to the windy break, we did’t say anything about (hehheehhe) … finally we arrive to the reef break, from the road  we  saw a big left perfectly shaped by a strong Off shore wind…5 people in the water (everybody been on the other side!!!)…. have a look!

Machete don’t have to miss…

Posted in wildlife  by admin | May 19th, 2009

We definetly  realize the Machete is really useful…

In tropical and subtropical countries, the machete is frequently used to cut through rainforest undergrowth and for agricultural purposes (e.g. cutting sugarcane). Besides this, in Latin America it is not uncommon to see a machete being used for such household tasks as cutting large foodstuffs into pieces — much as a cleaver is used — or to perform crude cutting tasks such as making simple wooden handles for other tools. It is also common to see people using machetes for their odd jobs such as splitting open coconuts, working the lawns, or other related activities. Additionally, it is the most popular no-fire weapon used by bandits and outlaws.
