Miguel Blanco made his name in the competitive surf world, rising to become one of Portugal’s top surfers. But as the years went by, the structure of contests started to feel too narrow — and the pull toward something bigger became impossible to ignore.

He stepped away from the circuit and toward what truly moves him: chasing raw, untamed waves and telling the stories that come with them.
Along the way, Miguel found a deeper purpose — using his platform to raise awareness about the environmental challenges we face, especially when it comes to our oceans. What started as filming his surf trips turned into a way to connect people with nature and inspire change.

Now, from Nazaré to Jaws, Miguel blends surfing, storytelling, and a strong sense of responsibility to protect the planet. Every wave is an adventure, and every project is a step toward something greater.
