Hi! My name is Louis Escudeiro. I´m a 14 year old Belgian-Portuguese surfer living in the Algarve, Portugal. I started surfing when I was 8 years old, and since then I never stopped. I love being in the ocean with my friends, surfing good waves and most of all, having fun!!! I like to travel to surf other waves and meet new places and persons with their different cultures. I ride SPO surfboards and like hollow and barreling waves the best!
