Rain or Shine, Nazareth would never miss the first big day of the Season.Conditions weren’t perfect but that’s what defines these surfers and these waves.Nazaré will always remain a natural wonder that at any time, can be both beautiful and dangerous.
What started out as wild and reckless became extraordinary. A-frames with mist produced from the wind was a site as the crowded cheered on each bomb.Francisco Porcella, Iain Consenza, Justine DuPont, Lucas Chianca and Nic Von Rupp and they delivered.

When you say Dubai or the United Arab Emirates, what do you imagine? Definitely luxury, super warm weather, oil, luxury hotels, indoor skiing, tallest building in the world, expensive cars and perhaps lots of more, coming from the incredible wealth of the country on the Arabian peninsula.
It is obvious most of the visitors go to the Emirates because of the pleasant climate in the country, especially in the autumn and spring. Warm sea, plenty of resorts, water parks and other theme parks, safety and then luxury.
The northern and eastern part of the United Arab Emirates is more hilly. Dubai itself has not so many terrain to ride but lot of cyclists are there anyway. For mountain biking trails, you have to drive a bit longer by car. The best terrain offers the mountain area on the border with Oman, the town of Shawka and Hatta.
Last winter Nitro and Volcom teamed up to work on a special part in Nitro´s OFFLINE movie “Truly OFFLINE” together with team riders Torgeir Bergrem and Ludvig Biltoft.
