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.
Beginner Level
The term “Beginner Surfer” refers to a surfer who has only recently begun taking surf lessons and starting to become familiar with the sport’s fundamentals, usually surfing a long soft top surfboard. After a few hours, a Beginner Surfer is able to maintain balance, paddling and catch some whitewater waves. In the end, an Advanced Beginner can catch a wave, get up on the board, and ride the breaking wave straight toward the beach.
