World's 50 best surf spots by CNN Travel

  Hi! Today I want to share with you the best surf spots in the World, a list made by CNN Travel. CNN described these as "The breaks and the tubes that make wipeouts worth it".

  They gathered the best beach, point and reef breaks (and some crazy spots too, as you will see) in the planet, with waves that can challenge rookies as well as a Pro Surfer.

  At the top of the list is Pipeline in Hawaii, the legendary surf spot and the last event of the season for the ASP World Championship Tour. Other great surf spots present are Superbanks (Gold Coast of Australia), Lima (Peru) , the Mentawai Islands (Indonesia) and Biarritz (France).

  There is also two portuguese surf spots in the CNN's list, the nº26 Carrapateira (Algarve) and nº29 Pedra Branca (Ericeira).

   I will finish this post with some awesome pictures from this surf spots,. I suggest you to follow this link to view the full article from CNN Travel 's Website. Enjoy ;)

   Hi, yesterday was the last day of the Oakley Pro Bali 2013. I also made a post at the beginning of the 5th event of the ASP World Tour. In this event featured the best surfers in the World, including the 11 times World Champion Kelly Slater, the 2 times World Champion Mick Fanning and a lot of great surfers like John John Florence, Jordy Smith, Josh Kerr, Nat Young, Julian Wilson, Taj Burrow and off course, the defending Australian World Champion Joel Parkinson, who won the Oakley Pro Bali 2013 dropping massive scores during the whole event.

   Today is the International Surfing Day, I hope you've been celebrating it ;) As for today, I also change the blog's name to SurfLocus. This day celebrates the surf sport, surf lifestyle and the sustainability of ocean resources, thank you Wikipedia. 

   During this day there were a huge awareness about nature protection, being really important when one considers the huge human impact in the environment.

   Surf is just a great Sport and I recommend you to try it. It's simply amazing the benefits that Surfing can bring to your life.

  So, how can I celebrate this day with you? Let me first show you an amazing aerial made by Mr. John John Florence to whom I dedicated my first post in this blog. This was a huge aerial made in the 5th event of the ASP World Tour at Bali, Indonesia.
