only one
  Normally I wake up very early, because of the wind,Got is at 7:45 am, got out 9:25, as the only one there, and I think I has the only one to Surf that day, because the wing changed and got strong, ruin the day for the others.

stupid
You stupid ***holes!

You come here, you receive hospitality and then open your asses showing up to the world how important your pictures are... and have the nerd of criticising the waves, the people or the lack of your shitty globalized-comercial and confortable (luxury cars and pools!) things that you miss from mainland!

BELIEVE ME I'M LOCAL, I'M NOT FROM ANYOTHER PLACE AND I WOULDN'T CHANGE FOR NOTHING ELSE!
Azores is for spiritual people, soul surfers and good vibes! Anything else go home!

Good atitudes will be compensated with hospitality, bad ones... HOPE TO SEE YOU IN THAT SPOT and you will see what is like to kiss the ocean's floor with your teeth!

Bastards!

Take your money and shuvit! we don't need any of that!

not locals
Just to let the world know that everybody is very welcome, because we( the locals ) are not like some people are posting in this comments,
And I’m pretty shore that this comments are not from local surfer.

I am going to pico island at the end of march and I will stay there until autumn.
