Eager to get away, score sick waves, sky rocket your bodyboarding performance and have fun in the sun but all your mates are tied up with work or lacking the funds? If yes, then this is the perfect trip for you! Portugal is the European epicentre of all things bodyboarding. Portugal has such a variety of bodyboarding spots it’s ridiculous. It’s no coincidence the APB (Association of Professional Bodyboarders) held three of their world tour events here last year. What makes the Sintra/Lisbon area so unique is that it receives an abundance of swell and is blessed with two coasts; a West and a South coast. This not only means that there is almost always an offshore and rideable wave, but when it is too big on the West facing beaches, shelter can be found on the adjacent South coast. So whatever your experience or wave taste Matt will find the perfect conditions to suit.
