Discription of surf spot: Padoa, Portugal
A kamakaze-looking, huge, clean barrelling righthander breaks here right off Padoa headland, that you can see (awesome barrels) from the road. Breaks from 4 feet up to 12 plus?. Experts ONLY, heavy waves, difficult access, strong rips, and there are also rocks in the bay. You better know what you are doing, but it is an awesome looking, perfect, hollow barrel.
