The team spent a few days chasing swell down the coast — linking turns, trading waves, and finding those in-between moments that make a trip what it is. Obrigado, Portugal.

Fistral Beach came alive this month as both seasoned pros and stoked locals lit up the lineup. Clean offshore winds and a solid swell combined to produce classic autumn conditions, with head-high sets rolling through from dawn till dusk. From lofty airs to deep barrels, it was a day that reminded everyone of the talent and quality of waves that Newquay has hiding away.

Australian surfer Lee Berryman is still recovering in hospital two days after a frightening shark encounter off Kangaroo Island, South Australia, on Tuesday.
The local tour guide had been surfing at a well-known spot in D’Estrees Bay when he suddenly felt something — believed to be a bronze whaler shark — strike the back of his leg.
"I have turned around and his nose is right near me,"Mr Berryman told Sunrise on Thursday.
"I actually did not want to punch him in the mouth. I was getting him in the side because I didn't want to go anywhere near those teeth. And I just yelled out, 'Shark!"
" just knew that I couldn't sit there so I just kept punching it until he let go."
"I pretty much looked at him right in the eyes."

Mikey February somehow pulls energy out of nowhere. Every wave he catches looks smooth, effortless, and full of style. There’s just something about the way he connects with the ocean — it’s like he’s in sync with it. And honestly, it drives me crazy that I can’t pull it off like he does.
The Eddie is committed to running only in the heaviest conditions, with a competition window from December 7 to March 6, 2025. For the event to be called on, waves must consistently reach at least 20+ feet (Hawaiian scale), with ideal conditions pushing 30-40 feet. The Eddie has only run 10 times in the last 40 years.
