The girls of Portugal

On the edge of winter, they came out in droves. Surfing is a celebrated sport in Portugal – more so than the average country. The crowd was a gracious, enthusiastic mob, riddled with frothed-out local surfers – and some of the most brazen señoritas you ever did see. Glaring with lustrous eyes, the women of Portugal weaved the through the packs, cleaving a path as they went. All those who saw them stopped in their tracks – some bowed, many wept. You also, may now weep. Stab presents, The women of Portugal. All photos by Damea Dorsey.
