As surfing continues to grow, finding empty waves and untouched coastline is becoming harder than ever. But sometimes, the best waves aren't found at the most popular beaches — they're found beyond the end of the road.
As surfing continues to grow, finding empty waves and untouched coastline is becoming harder than ever.
But sometimes, the best waves aren't found at the most popular beaches — they're found beyond the end of the road.
In Episode 12 of Chasing Portugal, From Dust to Sea, we explore the connection between surfing and four-wheel-drive culture — and how having an off-road vehicle can completely change the way you experience the coast.
From dusty tracks and rugged trails to remote beaches and uncrowded waves, the Touareg becomes more than just a way of getting from A to B. It's a tool for exploration — opening up places that most people simply can't reach.
Because for surfers, the search isn't always about finding the biggest wave. Sometimes it's about finding the right wave, in the right place, with nobody else around.
This is the relationship between surfing, off-roading, adventure and the freedom to explore.
From Dust to Sea.
