Surfing in Portugal on a two week van-life adventure – this trip was about replacing tainted memories of the country with fresh ones. Although the waves didn’t quite deliver, it was really nice to sink into being a tourist and seeing the many different colours of Portugal.

Hello my friend. I been following and learning from yours videos for a long time 👍🏄♂️ and sometimes I dream about a surf trip to Australia and meet you personally, and now I see that you came to my country and to my citie of Porto. Big thank to you and for the good video’s 👍
Bring them sick videos on you legend !
Glad you enjoyed my home country ! Next Biarritz ?
thank you bro for the vibes.
Peniche is going to be good this weekend
Go to guincho
I live here
Winter is Way beter
I immediatly recogniced where you guys are at the beginning of the video. It's one of my favourites places. Haven't been there in 2 years though.
France is currently with pumping waves…
I come to Portugal in 2 weeks to do the same♥️
Did you visit Ericeira? 🙂
There are some really good spots to surf there and it's generally a bit bigger there.
P.S. Really nice vlog. It will be nice if you give more info about the surf spots. Thanks!
My brother, some gratitude in perspective.
I have dual South African/Portuguese citizenship but have never visited my roots because of how expensive it is to travel to Europe from here.
I have had boards stolen out my car at my local break, had my car stolen outside my home, camera equipment stolen from my home.
I have to make a living from something I loathe and will have to work till the day I die.
I have not taken a holiday to a foreign destination with someone I love (ever).
I have not surfed since January due to surgery.
I have had plenty Pasteis de Nata though!
There's always something to be "Obrigado" for…
Glad you enjoyed Portugal. Such a lovely country. Hope you enjoyed Peniche. Loved that place. Nice waves and locals so friendly.
Wait… you were here??? Oh man that's awesome!!! Unfortunately last two or three weeks there was almost no surf, even in the north where usually pumps a little more in summer. Hope to meet you in the ocean one of these days. Cheers
Long time watcher & subscriber here Kale with a question. Did you require COVID vaccination to visit Portugal?
Great video! Love it🤟🏽
Karma for being a snake
FOMO is real we all get it
More of this Kale! Brilliant mate! I know the feeling of not surfing for an extended period (Waaayyyy longer than 7-days) It just makes me more excited for when the time comes. Have a great trip!
Polish plates on the van 🙂 greets from this country
Amazing, first take is my usual home surf spot! And yes,you came in the worst time for waves here🤣
Nice vlog!!
The palmier looked delicious
I was really looking fwd to how you got the van there 😂 good go mate 😎
The van is you or on rent..
It would be amazing to have another for the north of Spain!!!
Cant believe you came to Portugal.. in the north of portugal there is allways good waves.. even when its flat.. use our local beachcam service.. or talk to someone local!
I am getting puffy too! You coached me at whale beach after a lot of bad weather – great to see you having fun
Love Portugal, spent about 18 months surfing along the coast, i learnt to surf in Portugal and I'm from Melbourne, Australia, great locations and epic surf spots, hopefully you get a chance to visit again to enjoy the waves, one of my favourite countries, a great area is Figueira da Foz (Cabedello)
Great vid Kale, and I liked how you made the most of the waves, while others seemed to look on, searching for something better. Well done mate and enjoy your trip!
Yeah dude, unfortunately this summer has been brutal… 🇵🇹
