Another bogus post - Again , all these posts on the island are very weird, ponta do queimado does not exist terceira island, i dont know how you came about with this spot??? If you just come for holidays and see a surf spot but dont ride it dont coment on it, even if you do surf for a day or two it does not qualify you for posting information on the spot, you dont know how it gets on different swells or wind directions , i dont know who dave and his friends are but you hacked this stuff of some old surfguide book and made yourselves to be surferes by posting these bogust posts, you say its a well known place that everyone knows where it is but then you say its hard to find?? You never surfed this island and you know it, so dont post things about shit you dont know. People like you make it so that every now and then an american group of surfers from the base will trot along with their new gear and paddle to spots they know nothing about and end up smashed against some rocks or have to be rescued out of the water, one had to be flown to the german airbase hospital on account of a serious knee injury. Trust me its not locals that will get you into trouble, its your own lack of knowlege
