Nic von Rupp Gets Barreled and Explores the Azores in New Surf Series (Watch)
The newest season of Nic von Rupp's surf series, "Portugal Back to Back," got us hooked when the first episode dropped yesterday.
In the episode, von Rupp and his girlfriend explore the Azores, an archipelago made of nine volcanic islands located nearly a thousand miles off the coast of Lisbon.
The big wave surfer gets super barreled, and also explores its beauty and culture by playing tourist too.
Von Rupp captioned the video above:
"Portugal Back to Back, An adrenaline-pumping surf series with Nic Von Rupp taking you to some of the most beautiful parts of Portugal and this time taking on the majestic waves of São Miguel, Azores.
"One unforgettable trip through crystal-clear waters, breathtaking landscapes and perfect barrels.
"Nic and his gorgeous girlfriend swim in steaming hot springs, taste the delicious Azorean food, explore the island’s lush nature and rejoice in the hospitality of Azores, a magical place that some even consider to be the remnants of the lost continent of Atlantis."
At the start of the video, von Rupp says:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this place is incredible. This place is known as the Portuguese Garden Island."
He's right. The Azores look absolutely amazing in every way. Do yourself a favor and press play above.
And remember, there's more to come.
Viewers loved it, here's a few of their comments:
"Wouldn't mind if these episodes were longer lol. Such a beautiful island."
"Whooohooo: thank you so much for the inspiration and for sharing the beauty of these islands :) Surfing looks amazing!!!"
"Some of those barrels were insane! I couldn’t believe you made them. Were those some of the best barrels you’ve ever gotten?"
