Looking to plan my next surf trip, and want to go somewhere at the end of July/Start of August.

Looking for longboarding in a cute, small town that has really accessible surf. Just got back from Peniche (was staying in Baleal) and I have to admit, I didn't LOVE it there. I did, however, LOVE Saladita (so maybe that paints a picture of what I'm looking for?)

Does anyone have recs for a place that would have long, mellow waves and a cute town to stay in? Open to locations around the world! Thank you!!

My ex broke up with me 8 months ago. I didn't see it coming and I thought we had a really wonderful relationship-we lived together, planned for marriage, kids, the whole thing. I was so devastated when it was happening (and so emotional) that I told her I didn't want to see or speak to her again because I felt so blindsided and betrayed. I couldn't believe she was ending things seemingly out of nowhere. I was at such a heightened state in that moment and it was like we went from being best friends and partners to nothing in less than a minute. Thinking about it makes me want to cry.

We haven't spoken since that night, 8 months ago. And many days It still feels like just yesterday. I dream about her all the time, and still wish she would reach out. My birthday was last weekand nothing... which just felt so sad to me. I still feel so in love with her, and miss her so terribly.

I've been working a lot on myself, reflecting on how my anxious tendencies contributed to less than ideal dynamics at times. I've been traveling solo, trying new things, and very intentionally trying to move forward. But it's like I'm stuck in this state of loving and missing her. I tried going on a date but just cried after. There's still a part of me that believes we are supposed to be together, even though my rational brain knows that it is over- and has been... for all these months. I just wish we could still be together.

Is anyone else experiencing similar feelings this long after a breakup? I still cry so often thinking about the end, and how all the things we were going to do together will never happen. I just really fucking miss her.
