    A bottle of rosé on the terras of beachbar Burgau in the wintersun around 13.00 is pretty close to perfection and proves you CAN buy happyness :-)

    So, the dinosaur footprints are on the beach and not on top of the cliffs. It's a flat rock best seen on low tide. Secret youtube tip: you can actually paddle more west (about 300 yards) and find more remote footsteps on the rocky shoreline. Pretty cool

    Hi Nick, you have really gotten good with your videos. I’ve been able to visit Algarve! a couple of times since I started watching your series. This video made me feel like I was surfing with you all based on your camera shots and your mixing of your final video. Very well done, thank you.

    Great video Nick! I loved Lucy's comment.. 10 minute walk.. 4 minute run but we always drive. Hahaha
    Many hard core surfers to be wearing heavy warm jacket and in the cold water the next minute. I would have skipped that and did a bike ride or a run.
    Looks like an amazing place, not my style to live there but certainly to spend some time enjoying the amazing beaches and country side.

    • @AlgarveAddicts

      Yes, they're pretty different places and to be honest, Burgau could do with an amazing beach restaurant. However it's definitely quaint in its own way.

    Nick , my first 3 years here … I’ve been using three inflatable SUP’s (two Jobe and one Decathalon ) …
    However , they are really bad for the “quick” type surf you illustrated in the first few moments. (It’s too noisy with the 12v pump and too slow with a hand pump)
    May I kindly ask what boards do you have ? Any recommendations? Thanks 🙏

    • @AlgarveAddicts
      @AlgarveAddicts  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Max, sure I have a 9'8" NSP board I use for sup surfing and a couple of race boards plus a Decathlon inflatable for friends. It's easy to inflate in about 5 minutes and is a great part of the workout.

      Hi Caren, yes we pretty much have. It's really tough to go into a cinema or a restaurant without a vaccine. You can get a PCR test 48 hours before though, although it's tough to book them as you need to get a certified one through a pharmacy.
