We delve into the HUCK archives to revisit our feature on shaper Antonio Leopoldo and other characters who populate the surf town of Perniche in Portugal.
Says Leopoldo: "People didn’t understand [the first surfers in Peniche] because of their long hair and the [grungy] clothes… They would travel down in vans and cars and stay in Supertubos or Baleal all winter. [...] When I was a kid we made polystyrene boards and tried to catch waves in the white water. I was always in love with the sea.”
Check out the full feature in HUCK#024 in our Digital Archive.
