Surfer Magazine Hot 100 2013, congratulations John John Florence

   Just like I mentioned in my post reviewing the Oakley Pro Bali 2013, Surfer Magazine did a list of the Hot 100 surfers in the world, like they do every year. This list gathers the best young surfers in the world.

  This year's first place goes to the 21 years old John John Florence, that is currently in his 2nd year of the ASP World Championship Tour, placing himself 4th last year (in his rookie year, amazing!!).

   The following video is just awesome (also in HD). Let me share with you the Surfer's magazine Hot 100 men surfers of 2013:

   Following the Hawaiian John John Florence is the Brazilian Gabriel Medina and the american Kalohe Andino. More information about this great list, please follow this link.

   For the Portuguese out there, the 18 years old surfer Vasco Ribeiro is placing in the 44th place in this list.

   I hope you enjoyed this post. I surely had, showing you the future of surf. Have Fun!!

   Congratulations John John Florence!!

Barefoot Truth

   Last week I showed you the great musician and professional surfer Donavon Frankenreiter, that has many beautiful songs and a crazy surfing style.

  This week I want to show to you a very cool band: Barefoot Truth. They are an american roots rook band with beautiful jam's and acoustic songs. An unusual feature about Barefoot Truth is that their lead singer, Will Evans, is also the band drummer. He also remind me of "Shaggy" from Scooby-Doo, lol.

Barefoot Truth. Down Left is Will Evans, the lead singer, drummer and guitarist

  So far, they released 6 albums with great musics such as "Roll If You Fall", "Damage Done", "Changes in the Weather", "The Ocean" and "OK".

   So, without further ado, let me show you some of their songs:

   As expected, the waves we're great, very hollow tubes and the possibility for crazy aerials, like the one from John John Florence, a huge alley opp. Let me show you that perfect 10, magic moment:

Lisbon, the beautiful and historic capital of Portugal

   Today's post is about Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, where I live. I decided that this post should be more visual than usually so I will just gather here some photos (a picture is worth a thousand words right?). Enjoy

Donavon Frankenreiter, an unique style in both Music and Surf

   Can someone have such a wonderful life? Donavon Frankenreiter is a Musician and FreeSurfer. From is own words “Today can I write a song? Today can I get barreled? It's always exciting"

   I admire Donavon Frankenreiter a lot because of the way he talks and expresses is love about Life, Music and Surf. He is an old friend of the Musician and Surfer Jack Johnson and sometimes they play together. Let me show you a great song of him, "On My Mind":

   His first album "Donavon Frankenreiter" was released in April 2004 in Australia due to his high popularity there, both from being a professional surfer and playing in Jack Johnson concerts. Cool songs from the first album include "Free", "It Don't Matter" and "Make You Mine".

   Since then, he has been releasing very good albums and songs, with an acoustic background and great mood ;). My recommended songs are "Girl Like You", "Beautiful Day", "Move By Yourself", "Wondering Where The Lions Are", "Your Heart" and "Keeping Me Away From You".

   Let me show you another great song, "What'cha Know About":

Surf Locus Facebook Page

   Hi, today was a blog configuration day. I created the SurfLocus Facebook Page to allow SurfLocus followers ;) The SurfLocus Facebook Page automatically synchronizes the blog's posts so you have fully information about the SurfLocus activity there. 

   I will also be posting some short messages, videos and news about Surf (including news about the ASP World Tour Events), Music, Books, Travelling...

   Later this month I will add a new SurfLocus profile picture to Facebook ;)

   I also created an easier way to connect with the blog in the blog itself. I add a new Facebook banner in SurfLocus and a list of buttons at the end of every post to share it on Facebook, Twitter, Google+...and also  "Like" and +1 buttons. 

   I hope you like this changes ;) Have Fun!
