Madeira
The autonomous region of Madeira is located about 750km southwest of Portugal’s mainland and about 400km north of Tenerife. Besides stunning landscapes to be explored, Madeira offers excellent surf, the best spots are considered on the west side of the island and during winter swells can get quite big. In addition the island hosts a few point breaks and also beginner friendly spots.
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.
