Here at Ticket to Ride, Portugal is right up there as our all time favourite European surf destination. That is of course if you discount Ireland.
If you are looking for sunny surf, close to home, Portugal's exposure to just about everything that the Atlantic can throw at us, coupled with the warm sunshine and super chilled Portuguese vibe makes it a must.
Ericeira is 45 minutes north of Lisbon, and as far as waves go, it's home to them all. The video below show's Ericeira's barrelling side, there are also plenty of rolling point breaks, as well as some super fun beach breaks.
Our next trip out there
23-30 June TTRide Performance Surf Camp
This trip has been designed for surfers already at intermediate level, and by this we mean, able to paddle out and ride unbroken waves. So many surfers hit a wall at this stage, finding it hard to reach the next level. A week of surfing in Portugsl with Ticket to Ride coaches will put you back on ladder, helping you to redefine your surfing and rediscover the exhillarating feeling of pushing yourself over the edge and on to the next level.
Places are limited to 20 surfers, the week includes flights, transport, beach side accommodation, surf coaching, video feed back and focused seminars on specific areas of surfing as well surrounding influences such as fitness, flexibilty and nutrition.
This is a week not to be missed.
We cannot wait be back out there.
