THIS MAY BE THE LONGEST RIGTHANDER IN EUROPE | VON FROTH
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- It’s time to hit Figueira da Foz, where Europe’s longest righthand pointbreak breaks uncrowded throughout wintertime. It’s the town that hosted World Tour events but, somehow, remains off the radar. It’s the beach escapade to the ancient student city of Coimbra. It’s the hometown of some of the most intriguing and interesting characters in Portuguese surfing. Welcome Figueira da Foz, the most underrated wave cluster in Portugal.

I love how you’re so proud of your country and it’s culture. You’re not just hung up on surfing but sharing what makes Portugal unique and beautiful. It seems like a lovely place to live and I can’t wait to visit ❤️🙏much love and respect from Japan
glad that someone from Japan watches the series. sick
@@nicvonrupp1671 we’ve got a whole crew of surfers who have been living here in the Miyazaki paradise for many years. Come visit sometime!
First surfed that zone in 1981. I remember first glimpse at the harbour mouth seeing a 'giant' right hander out there. Two people out that day. A Portuguese surfer paddled 100mt down the coast to shake my hand and greet me! Back again in 1986, lots more surfers - but not too many. My friend Tim and I had one board between us - An Aloha he brought from Sydney with him. We stayed in an awesome Pensao and surfed that beach corner 0:39 , alternating turns on the board. Amo Portugal, e o povo que tem coracoes preciosos e humilde. 'brigad.
Did you sell the aloha here?
If yes it was probably Bertier's aloha then Enrico's ( guy in the video in Coimbra) I wish I could post a photo of it here :)
Small world
@@a.g.4-1-7-1 Ola! nah, i carried it back to France for some reason, probably unclear plans of where would would head next. My friend Mikael in Chambery (not known for its waves!) gave me 60US or something for it, which I sorely needed. I think he took it to Madagascar later on... Obrigado pela mesagem!
@@mozdickson not so many alohas here at that time 😂👍
I was in Portugal recently on vacation and I was amazed with the amount of places to surf. Its a place I recommend people visiting , not only for surf , but for culture , food and incredible beauty. The Portuguese people are extremely friendly and inviting plus the food is phenomenal..
Portuguese girls also very nice
Being a local who always surfed those waves, you Totally got the vibe of "my" city. I've lived in a lot of places, but nothing beats figueira in quality, crowd and city heritage. Thats the reason i got back after 15 years. Well done guys!
true that man
I'm really enjoying your series on this area. Bringing back so many great memories. I surfed that area by myself many years ago. Over head waves everyday and nobody out. I wondered where everybody was! I wish I had known about Coimbra, but alas, there wasn't much of an internet back then. Such a lovely people and place. Rock on.
Hey Scott, super rad to hear the story of people that surfed it way back and felt the magic of the place
my comment above Scott. cheers
Thanks for opening our eyes to the beauty and waves of Portugal.
Surfed there in 1979 with graham Nile and a few guys from Uk, very few locals then and no tow in on that point break. Tough paddle out and a right handed that killed my legs.
wow. thats so cool
Born and raised in figueira and i can tell you that is one of the longest waves i’ve ever seen and 0 crowd 😂
longest wave indeed
Von Froth always brings the vibez!! Your living the life brother!! Keep on Ruppin!!
Thanks for the culture trip, as Portugal has so much . Amazing country .
Fantastic video bro. The cinematography, the surfing, the music, the story, this video had it all! Much love from Barcelona
Hey I was there also in 1971 in Figuera do Foz with my parents stayed at a camp site near that point break, I think it ran about 7km on big days, now my son surfs the coast from Oporto down. So it’s more than 50 years since it was surfed. Others went there also from Cornwall.
1971 was 19year before I was born and 52 years before this was shot. pretty incredible stats there. Hope you are still surfing away
@@nicvonrupp1671 yes I’m still surfing at 64 years old, but in warmer places, actually in the water every day, in dubai now and yes there is some surf here. You should meet up with Vittorio my son who is a physiotherapist in Oporto and surfs almost every day.
Travelled to Fig da Foz for surfing holidays in 1979/80/81 with my wife and we camped on the jetty at Cabedelo. We met John Berry there, he met Sylvie there and they got married and we visit them in Les Landes almost every year. We also met two families from Brittany and still exchange Christmas cards and messages. Thank you Figueira for providing us with lifelong friends.
thats such an epic story man
Berry is still remembered , I met him in the 90's when he came back with a younger guy. ( If its the same Berry)
@@a.g.4-1-7-1 He still visits with his wife and has some firm local friends. He has been making surfboards (Little River) for about 50 years and although his output has not been great over the last few years I would say that the majority of those recent boards have been made for Fig da Foz surfers
@@davidyeo5925 I think it's that Berry 😃👍
Thanks for sharing Nic!
Love this place!!
Great video. Thank you for producing and sharing it. Un abrazo desde Ecuador!
By far the best surfing vlog out there. Love the energy you bring and the variety of people and culture. You really have a talent for being infront of the camera, suoer relaxed.
The surfing and waves are of course always great to watch too.
thanks brother, my parents made me in Hollywood. thats why haha
Hollywood Von Froth
man, the Euricos are the classiest coolest surfers i've ever met... friggin love these dudes! and they surf big time
My first wave that i surfed in Portugal was Figueira( cabedelo and buarcos). love this city and friends.
Amazing vid as always Nic. Keep up the great work.
thanks

Figueira ❤ My family is from this area and Coimbra. Love it! Also Figueira da Foz is a nice city to explore, the food is good 🤙🏻
Beautiful waves 🌊🤙paradise.
Portugal is a amazing place. ❤ Portugal 😊
Great video- sending to my pal who is moving to Portugal this year. I hope to visit, so this gives me stoke.

Best place 🌊
I really love your blogs bro, keep it up.
Que sonho este nosso Portugal 😍
yea sick!
epic wonderful place to live perfect waves culture food enjoy!!!!!
Thank you, I like your videos, saludos desde España 🤙🏼
gracias
Surfed that point 50 years ago. Only me and one other nibbling at the edges of it. Good surf at the southern breakwater as well. We just parked on the breakwater. No one else around. Good memories.
Love that you did show Coimbre as well. You have a very unique culture in Portugal. The wave is nice as well, but seems like Tom doesn't like strangers in the line up. I do rather stay in Bali, we are are used to share with tourists and celebrate the way of life...I believe that you will always get the best conditions anyway as a "local". You have to there when it is on.
Fantástico Nic a mostrar a beleza deste nosso cantinho Surf cultura educação turismo tradição gastronomia bem receber
VALORIZAR PORTUGAL
Thanks.
Lembro-me de ter estado aí num campeonato a assistir depois de uma noite de loucura numa rave com Carl Cox, nuns armazéns e perto.
youre smooth dude, your presence on camera is solid.
thanks dawg

What Al Merrick surfboard spine tech model is that? And size? Tks
Nice with Nina Simone track in the house,,, Classic sound classic sport 👌
Wow been to Portugal never been to this wave definitely checking it out now!
great escape
Muitos bodyboarders que partem a loiça na praia do norte são da Figueira.
You haters are all nuts, went to that spot in moroco where Billy kemper later got hurt, and all this supposed crowd was washed away from England and Switzerland, and it was just me and some Australians and Moroccans, if the waves get real good you don't have to worry
Good vibes. Go easy on the cuts and hard on the cutbacks.
A glimpse of 'Mina', secret spot...
Pedro scooby is a great name. I just think it sounds so smooth. I’d name a boat pedro scooby
your absolutely right
Foi onde o sunny deu a prancha ao J Guedes e nesse campeonato ganhou o rob Machado e o Taj foi roubadissimo !
O R Herédia recorda-se com toda a certeza.
Acabou com os aussies a encherem latas de caeveja com areia e arremessar para a praia e com toda a razão.
🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

Estou farto de lhe dizer, mas ondas é Ilhavo.
ja apanhei altas por ai
go to peniche!!
season 2 hopefully
Figuera da Foz is a city with the most potential to be an awesome surf city and massive tourist destination that i have ever seen but actually its a bit of a dump and whoever is charge of running that city has no clue what they have in their hands !
Why would anybody want to turn a uncrowded place into a massive tourist destination is behind my comprehension, but i guess some people think that more people and money means more development, i guess we will never learn...
Ok you try and convince your wife to go and live there then…i tried - on the basis of good uncrowded surf but thats not enough for most ladies, they need a trendy beach cafe to talk shit with their besties or banging brazilian style beach promenade to see and be seen. Yes bro i am a bit bitter about it 😅
@@jksinorbit haha i do completely understand now
@@hydrotricine Get a room boys !
Wow 8 years of surfing history!
O meias de leite tb está ai o skater.
E depois foi o g mac e a Mercedes que descobriam a Nazaré 😂😂😂😂
The Europes longest left is Mundaka
indeed
That’s like J bay but better 😂😅
No, actually, J Bay is infinitely better... I've surfed both.
tenho memória escassa no tempo / ele voar sem dizer nada / eu filmei o campeonato do mundo de surf na figueira da foz ... / a asp não tem esses registos / eu acho que foi em 1995 / e o Bubas da costa da caparica deu na pá no Kelly Slater / e o José Gregório de carcavelos venceu lá o epsa / eu acho que foi em 1996 ou 1997 / e tenho os filmes desses momento com altas gatas e boas ondas filmado em analógico / algures nos anos 90 o Ruben Gonzalez também deu na pá ao Kelly em sintra / tenho essas imagens que ninguém mais tem / não tenho a certeza mas acho que / o Kelly perdeu dois campeonatos do mundo por causa de dois portuguese / o Bubas e o Ruben / também me lembro que na figueira da foz num epsa dos anos 90 ... / eu e o Nuno Matta não tínhamos muita guita / e o João Antunes alugou uma casa na figueira da foz / e eu e o Nuno abancamos lá gratuitamente / eram outros tempos

thanks for destroying another wave mate..
why dont u just post co ordinates for everyone....seriously what is it you are trying to do? Turn us into Snappa?
So tired of these vlogs showing everything. Sorry if you are local
Imagine if this flog did these videos giving up Hawaiian secret spots. He’d be beaten to a pulp. Dunno why he thinks its ok to do it in other countries
@@marioc4291 just dont watch it, its all good
@@eatsurfsleeprepeat5485 let it up to the locals to decide you kook
@@nicvonrupp1671 😂🥲
Unbelievable. Blowing up spots just to keep his career as an “influencer” relevant and well funded.
