Nic von Rupp is a fan of his home country. It’s hard not to love Portugal, with its incredible waves, rich history, amazing people, and some of the best food in the world, so it makes sense that Nic is proud of where he comes from. And in Portugal Back to Back, his YouTube series that showcases all Portugal has to offer, he shows why he loves it so much.
The episode you see above is the first of the second season of the show. The first season was a raging success, garnering over 11 million views, and what better place to kick off the next one than the Azores?
His show is, of course, heavy on the surfing, but surfing isn’t all the show focusses on. “One unforgettable trip through crystal-clear waters, breathtaking landscapes and perfect barrels,” the YouTube description reads. “Nic and his gorgeous girlfriend swim in steaming hot springs, taste the delicious Azorean food, explore the island’s lush nature and rejoice in the hospitality of Azores, a magical place that some even consider to be the remnants of the lost continent of Atlantis.”
