Portugal has long been called the European equivalent to California. With a temperate climate and consistent waves virtually year-round, the comparison makes perfect sense. But lately, Portugal’s also suffered from the same issue that plagues Southern California: crowds.
In his hunt for surf, Italian longboarder Alessandro Ponzanelli remained steadfast in his hope to find solitude on the face of the Iberian Peninsula. Mission accomplished, we’d say.
Film by Federico Romanello
