Reseña de The Stormrider Surf Guide Azores and Madeira

The Stormrider Surf Guide Azores and Madeira de Bruce Sutherland Resumen del Libro

Surfing these Atlantic Islands requires patience and determination. The Azores volcanic peaks appear directly in the oceanic path of winter low pressures and scoop up the swell onto lava slabs, basalt boulders and the odd black sand beach. Isolated by 1600kms of angry Atlantic from Portugal and often encircled by the Azores High pressure system, winds are unpredictable and swells can come from a multitude of directions. A small population of cool locals patrol the main line-ups, but there is plenty of scope for discovery, making the Azores a mysterious, hardcore destination for adventurous surf-trippers. On Madeira incredibly tall, vertical faces encircle the interior. These same words are also perfect to describe the waves that rumble over deep reefs and points, creating one of Europe's most respected big-wave venues. Jardim do Mar may be famous for all the wrong reasons as coastal armouring has threatened to extinguish this world- class wave but there are many other acts in town for those that seek power and size. The ability to navigate big waves and big rocks on big boards requires big c*****s, so the tight local crew are welcoming of respectful chargers that make the pilgrimage to ride the wild surf.
