Ericeira
Ericeira is a fisher village on the west coast of Portugal about 40 minutes north of Lisbon. In a few kilometers of coastline, Ericeira – often referred to as the surfing capital of Portugal – offers an impressive diversity of surf opportunities. As a result, the region has constantly become increasingly popular over the past decade. In addition, Ericeira was officially declared as Europes one and only World Surfing Reserve in 2011 plus the fine point break of Ribeira D’Ilhas hosting WSL contests like the EDP Vissla Pro Ericeira.
Advanced Level
An Advanced Level Surfer can pick the best waves and then paddle toward them. Then, they will generate speed, travel up and down the roller, and control weight transfers from rail to rail in order to make the best use of each wave’s open face. At this level of surfing, the performer develops into a top-to-bottom surfer who intelligently balances speed, power, and flow while remaining constantly in tune with the wave’s curve and pocket zones. They are now capable of barreling in medium surf conditions and doing floaters, off-the-lips, roundhouse cutbacks, close-out re-entries, and these other maneuvers. A skilled surfer is well familiar with their equipment and is able to adjust it to the ocean’s conditions.
