</div><div class="NoSpacing" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The main goal of Garrett in Nazaré was to explore its waves – with special attention to Praia do Norte’s waves, which receive the effect of the geomorphologic phenomenon known as “Nazaré Canyon”. The canyon is so unique because it is one of the only one in the whole world that ends on the shore allowing the power of the water and swell to make it to the beach without losing any energy or size. Garrett was invited to explore the wave to see if it had potential for a big wave event!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="NoSpacing" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

</div><div class="NoSpacing" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">During November, Garrett McNamara saw four big swells and two times the conditions were perfect for tow-in. He was able to see all the potential of those waves, which “are probably the biggest waves of the world for a beach break”, he said.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
The Hawaiian surfer, one of the more respected waterman of the world, with several international awards and championships, worked with José Gregório (a former triple Portuguese surf champion, one of the most respected big waves surfers in Portugal and one of the athletes that better knows the waves of Nazaré, where he was born).</span></span></div><div class="NoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Garrett McNamara also had the chance to surf with Tiago “Saca” Pires (the most international Portuguese surfer and the only Portuguese who make part of the world surf elite), Ruben Gonzalez (a former four times Portuguese surf champion) and even with the Irish Alistair Mennie and the English Andrew Cotton, who came to Nazaré to experience the power of the waves of Praia do Norte.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Garrett caught other waves in the region of Nazaré, mostly with his Stand Up Paddle board, showing all the necessary technique to enjoy this kind of surf and sharing good waves with the locals bodyboarders. He showed big respect to them and recognized their pioneering role in the strong waves of Nazaré.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Garrett McNamara returned to Hawaii very impressed and with some well defined goals to a close cooperation with the Nazaré City Hall for the next years.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

</span></span></div><div class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Jorge Barroso, the City Hall mayor, and Garrett McNamara signed an intent statement for the implementation of projects that can internationally promote Nazaré as a reference spot to the big waves sports and to the realization of a big wave event in 2012.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
They both agreed to cooperate actively to achieve the following projects: Environmental Education to the Sea Center, a Rescue Center, a Big Wave Museum and a Tow-in Academy.<br />
<br />
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Jorge Barroso said that “Praia do Norte’s waves are unique” and that’s why Nazaré should “take the uniqueness of its sea”, that creates giant waves due the “North Canyon”. “In 2012 we’re going to make an innovative event in all of Europe. We count with Garrett McNamara and with this intent statement”, said Jorge Barroso, showing “the will of affirmation of Nazaré as a prime destination of big waves sports”.<br />
<br />
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">To the extreme waterman, the big waves of Praia do Norte are some of the biggest that he ever saw. “After being here this month, learning the culture and working with this great team, I am 100 per cent sure that in 2012 we will hold a world class big event, promoting Nazaré all around the world”, said McNamara, referring that “the idea is to attract not only surfers or water sports lovers, but everybody.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
José Gregório was also present in the ceremony and congratulated the initiative. “This was one of the times when the surf was mostly spoken on the media”, commented.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
To end his stay in Portugal, Garrett went to the second edition of the Portugal Surf Awards, the National Surf Ceremony, which counted this year with the awards of the Surf Portugal magazine, last weekend, also in Nazaré.<br />
<br />
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">After the delivery of some awards and several conversations with some of the best Portuguese surfers, curious to know his views about the national waves, McNamara was surprised with an “International Personality of the Year” award by the oldest surf magazine in Portugal. They honored the commitment of the Hawaiian surfer in the exploration of Nazaré’s waves.<br />
<br />
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">“This award was a huge surprise, but I’m much honored to receive it”, said Garrett with emotion. “The recognition of our work is always good, but the way that I was received by the Portuguese surf community was amazing. I’ll take you in my heart and I’m going to make everything to promote internationally the Nazaré’s waves and your hospitality. I’ll come back as soon as possible”, he concluded.<br />
<br />
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">McNamara returned to Hawaii, to participate in the open ceremony of the most respected big waves championship of the world, Quicksilver in memory of Eddie Aikau, in Waimea Bay, Oahu, where he lives. He was one of the 28 invited surfers. Good luck G-Mac!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="NoSpacing"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">É já amanhã, sexta-feira, que arranca a Nazaré Surf Pro 2010, a última e decisiva etapa da LigaProSurf, a mais importante prova do calendário nacional da modalidade, numa organização da Câmara Municipal da Nazaré e da Associação Nacional de Surfistas (ANS), sob a tutela da Federação Portuguesa de Surf.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">À espera dos/das melhores surfistas nacionais podem estar condições de gala na Praia do Norte, para onde se prevê uma ondulação de 2 a 3 metros de Oeste-Noroeste, com um período de 13 segundos (diferença média de tempo entre duas ondas) e vento Leste (offshore), o cocktail perfeito para um espectáculo que vai coroar os campeões nacionais da modalidade.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">A corrida para o título está ainda mais intensa, com Frederico Morais (18 anos) - na foto - a liderar o ranking mas com uma vantagem de apenas 39 pontos relativamente ao segundo classificado, Justin Mujica (32 anos). Na competição feminina, Carina Duarte, campeã em 2008, e Joana Rocha, campeã em título, ambas da Ericeira, lideram agora com uma maior vantagem sobre a atleta do Estoril, Maria Abecassis.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">Para além da última etapa da LigaProSurf 2010, a Nazaré acolhe também, no sábado à noite, um evento único que vai reunir toda a comunidade surfista nacional para assistir à segunda edição do Portugal Surf Awards, à qual se junta este ano também a quarta edição dos Prémios Surf Portugal tmn, para duplamente galardoar os melhores surfistas nacionais e várias personalidades do surf em Portugal.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">A festa, que é também de gala e de encerramento da época, vai ter muitas surpresas, como a exibição dos vídeos da prova e da acção <b>THE NORTH CANYON SHOW BY GARRETT MCNAMARA</b> e ainda uma passagem de modelos, um resumo da LigaProSurf 2010 e música a cargo dos DJ Tiago Nalha e Alternative Sound System.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

Then we went to my all time favorite classic surf company Ligthning Bolt and met the Ligthning Bolt family. It was way more then I expected and we had the pleasure of meeting the first Portuguese surfer Pedro Lima, a legend and inspirational man.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">De ar relaxado e simpático. Assim se mostrou Alistair Mennie, ou Al Mennie como é conhecido este surfista irlandês de 30 anos, que na semana passada aceitou o desafio lançado por Garrett McNamara para vir à Nazaré experimentar as ondas grandes da Praia do Norte. Não hesitou… “As minhas expectativas antes da viagem para Portugal era que o surf ia ser enorme e poderoso. Quando alguém como o Garrett nos telefona e nos diz que a Nazaré é um dos locais mais poderosos do planeta nós acreditamos”, contou Al.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<i>Relaxed and friendly. That’s Alistair Mennie, or Al Mennie as this 30 years old Irish surfer is also known. Last week he accepted the challenge to come to Nazaré and try the big waves of Praia do Norte. He had no doubt at the time… “My expectations before the trip to Portugal were that the surf was going to be huge and powerful. When someone like Garrett phones you up and tells you Nazaré is one of the most powerful places on the planet you believe”, he said.</i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Garrett foi sempre “uma inspiração”, desde que começou a surfar quando tinha nove anos. “Estar a surfar com ele em ondas gigantes foi uma honra”, afirma o surfista, que frisa o facto de GMAC ser muito confiante nas suas capacidades e muito minucioso na sua abordagem aos cenários de segurança e salvamento.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Garrett has always been “an inspiration” to him, since he started surfing at the age of nine. “To find myself surfing with him in giant waves was an </i></span></span><span lang="EN-GB"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><i>honour</i></span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><i>”, declared the surfer, who accentuated the fact that GMAC is very confident in his ability and very thorough in his approach to safety and rescue scenarios.</i></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEa7rvKlgxNgfEzu6ZQidOtaO1RzjOhyQhDUPt4M19T8l_-xlXbTfU0crEvpht7VkgPTBMd4B2Za5PtZyx1GmG4OeB7CZOVDOyTqvotQrrlt-IbsqUz7imiLRGDATS1OpW8r-iBX1pTFg/s1600/AL+MENNIE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEa7rvKlgxNgfEzu6ZQidOtaO1RzjOhyQhDUPt4M19T8l_-xlXbTfU0crEvpht7VkgPTBMd4B2Za5PtZyx1GmG4OeB7CZOVDOyTqvotQrrlt-IbsqUz7imiLRGDATS1OpW8r-iBX1pTFg/s640/AL+MENNIE.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Chegou exausto a casa, porque surfar na Nazaré “requer toda a nossa atenção”. Há picos enormes do tamanho de prédios de cinco andares, que exigem que todos os participantes estejam concentrados, seja a levar um surfista para a onda, a socorrer um dos surfistas ou a fazer segurança noutra mota de água, explica Al.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<i>He felt exhausted when he returned home, because surfing in Nazaré “requires your full attention”. There are huge peaks the size of five storey buildings coming and it takes every team member to be focused, either driving a surfer onto a wave, rescuing a surfer or doing safety on another ski, he explained.</i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7axm61QkZW3B-g-Qx-C7nWyE0TwgGWMWHkt7jK0FVaiFRPAUFeqC1HrJBo2fD7FT16PyJ_ZTvT7VfjnxXOT4UjI4PsauGQcFUE29idPZ85JFeR1ZsuaMTvorEpdQBES9wYrxuZRXQUKE/s1600/IMG_8132.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7axm61QkZW3B-g-Qx-C7nWyE0TwgGWMWHkt7jK0FVaiFRPAUFeqC1HrJBo2fD7FT16PyJ_ZTvT7VfjnxXOT4UjI4PsauGQcFUE29idPZ85JFeR1ZsuaMTvorEpdQBES9wYrxuZRXQUKE/s640/IMG_8132.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Mas apesar do cansaço exigido, é dentro de água que se sente bem, que se realiza. “Sinto-me mais confortável a surfar, a fazer tow in ou stand up paddle boarding do que quando estou no meu sofá! Sinto-me extremamente vivo…”, frisa. E tudo na sua vida gira em torno disso. “Estou a viver o meu sonho, todos o deviam fazer. Penso que a vida é sobre fazer e não sobre sonhar em fazer. Se tu sonhas em fazer alguma coisa então encontra coragem para o fazer, senão não passará disso mesmo, de um sonho.”</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<i>But despite the fatigue that surf requires, is inside the water that he feels good, that he fulfills himself. “I feel more comfortable in the ocean surfing, tow surfing or stand up paddle boarding than I do on my own couch! I feel extremely alive…”, he said. And everything in his life revolves around it. “I’m living my dream, everyone should be. I think life is about doing, not dreaming of doing. If you dream of doing something then find the courage to just do it, otherwise it will always be just that, a dream.”</i></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

O restaurante, situado na marginal da Nazaré, é acolhedor e familiar, características que aliadas à boa cozinha conquistam os clientes. “Já é tradição da casa, é quase um fenómeno. Grupos que aparecem na Nazaré vêm por tendência aqui. O ambiente familiar é criado porque me dedico aos clientes, que passam a ser amigos”, contou a D. Celeste.<br />

<i>Affection is the main spice in Celeste’s kitchen. The restaurant, located in the walkway of Nazaré, is cozy and friendly, features that with the good food win customer’s loyalty. “It’s already a tradition, almost a phenomenon. Groups that appear in Nazaré usually come here. The familiar ambience is created because I dedicate myself to the customers, who become friends”, say Celeste.</i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

O “Pôr-do-Sol” passou a “A Celeste” há dez anos, porque afinal é o talento da proprietária, agora com 62 anos, que faz a diferença. “As pessoas começaram a chamar o restaurante de Celeste”… e ficou o nome!<br />

Her parents worked there, “and at the time that was a tavern”. The “Pôr-do-Sol” (Sunset) became “A Celeste” only ten years ago, because is the talent of the owner, now with 62, that makes all the difference. “People started calling Celeste to the restaurant”… and the name prevailed!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></i></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

Everything is made to be special…”, guarantees “mom” as some members of the team of The North Canyon Show by Garrett McNamara call her, and for whom she prepares some dishes filled of creativity. Her brother Júlio and her nephew André are the responsible to bring those dishes to the table and they also make part of this new “family”.</span></span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">E certo é que tudo o que chega à mesa tem merecido elogios diários. “Este é o melhor restaurante do mundo e eu já viajei muito…”, referiu Garrett McNamara, que destaca a variedade de pratos e de sobremesas. Na hora de escolher o seu prato favorito n’A Celeste não hesitou: “Gosto de tudo!”, lembrando no entanto as amêijoas, os camarões e as pernas de peru assado...<br />
<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">Garrett McNamara está na Nazaré até ao final do mês a explorar as ondas grandes da Praia do Norte. A D. Celeste considera esta acção muito boa para a Nazaré. “É uma forma de promover tudo o que temos”, sublinha a proprietária do restaurante, que mesmo com o mar à porta não alinha nessas aventuras marítimas. “Nunca surfei, tenho medo do mar. Nem os pés molho…”, revelou com um sorriso nos lábios.<br />

To Celeste this action is very good to Nazaré. “It’s a way to promote everything we have here”, she said. She has the sea at her door, but she doesn’t like sea adventures. “I’ve never surfed, I’m afraid of the sea. I don’t even put my feet on the water…”, revealed with a smile on her face.</span></span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
