Purple island is the name they gave to Madeira when they discovered it in 1419 since then it had some magic growth and now is one of the most known and pretty islands of the Atlantic. Placed in front of Morocco but belonging to Portugal we, Sami, Sergio and Christian were really curious to go and explore it, not just by bike, but surfing also.

Madeira was one of those unexpected places on earth, I was seeking for a new exciting island and this was the one who even after these days I have goosebumps thinking of the beauty of it.The days were long and warm, we expected to be 5 days going around the island. We didn’t touch much of the center.The second day was like never in my life, two of my favorite sports are going to merge together in this beautiful place. I woke up dreaming, I pedal looking at every single part of the coast searching for waves. Suddenly the path of me and the boys got separated due to a hole on the road. I followed ahead and then I received a message, there are waves there are waves! Oh i still get excited now about this and suddenly there we were a fluffy wave crashing over and over. It was not the biggest or the strongest but it was a wave, and I surfed.Cycling took me all around the world, I never even needed a owned car because I preferred to cycle, and there I was cycling and adventuring to another place on this earth. MadeiraOver the days I asked myself why I chose these two sports. I didn’t want to do a challenge, I was not racing, I wanted to enjoy and showcase that you can follow your dreams.
