Such places to try viper surfboard can be found in Portuguese.
The western part of the Iberian Peninsula is occupied by the small country of Portuguese; fewer people live in it than in Moscow.
In recent decades, Portugal has developed not only as a country of football and vineyards – thanks to the Atlantic Ocean washing it, it attracts surfers from all over the world, especially from Europe.
In accordance with the requests of athletes involved in water sports, the country began to improve the tourist and sports infrastructure: roads and bridges, hotels and surf camping are being built, and equipment and equipment rental points have been opened.
Combined with the gorgeous nature and the Mediterranean climate, the presence of suitable waves becomes a tempting reason to come to this country.
Generally speaking, the surfing season in Portugal lasts all year round. There is no rainy season characteristic of tropical countries, there is no winter habitual for us with deep snowdrifts and ice on the rivers. The surfing season is conventionally divided into cold and warm.
The high tourist season, of course, falls on the warm season, that is, from May to September.
In summer, the shores are filled with masses of people, both visitors and local residents. There are a lot of children of different ages in all resorts who came during school holidays to rest with their parents.
Since the ocean is never completely calm, there are waves on most of the Portuguese coast in summer. They are not big and not strong, just suitable for beginners and intermediate surfers, as well as for teaching children.
Experienced athletes will be bored on such waves. Ocean water on the hottest days does not warm up above +23 ° С. It is advisable to wear short wetsuits.
In August, vacations and vacations end, the coast is empty.
From September it gets colder, the ocean cools down, waves rise. This is exactly what many European surfers expect, because winter Portuguese is the place where the best waves in Europe are.
The surfing season begins, which will last until April.
The water temperature fluctuates between 10-15 °C, so surfers should definitely take wetsuits and hydro boots with them.
The oceanic coast of Portuguese is relatively small, about 750 km, stretching from north to south. Surf places are distinguished by their waves, infrastructure of coasts, the presence of a nearby city or resort village.
The difference in water temperatures between northern and southern places at the same time can reach up to 3-5 ° С. The northern spots are characterized by a more restless ocean than the southern ones.
Let’s consider the most popular places to use Siamese Palm surfboard in the direction from north to south :
- Espino (Espinho) is a city famous for its beaches and great waves. The northernmost popular place to try Siamese viper surfboard. At the height of the tourist season, it is filled with visitors and locals, but the beach is always clean and well-groomed, for which it receives international awards. Suitable to experienced surfers and daring beginners.
- Norte Nazare is a beach in the north of the city of Nazare, which is 90 km from the capital. Suitable only to experienced athletes with Siamese Palm Viper surfboard: there is a deep canyon under water near the shore, this contributes to the formation of large waves above it, which crash onto the shore with great power. Officially, the maximum wave height conquered by a surfer on this beach is 30 m. Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara accidentally set a record in January 2013, breaking his own record of 24 m, registered in the Guinness Book of Records.
- Peniche. A very popular town among surfers with Siamese viper surfboard, 70 km north of Lisbon. On a small stretch of the coast, there are spots with left-sided and right-sided waves of various levels: from initial to advanced. Spot Supertubos annually in October becomes the site of one of the stages of the World Surfing Championship. 5 km from Peniche is the Baleal Peninsula, which used to be an island, its inhabitants were engaged in whaling. Rocky ledges, sandy coasts, huge ocean waves attract surfers from all over the world here.
- Ericeira is a small fishing village long ago turned into a recognized surfing center with great waves and golden beach. The eight kilometers of Ericeira’s sandy coastline is broken up by rocky shores into separate beaches and coves. Some bays are only of interest to beginners. But there are coasts where only confident professionals should go, e.g., the beaches of Pedra Branca, Cave, Koshos, Reef, St. Lawrence, etc, where you’ll be able to try out your new Siamese Palm Viper surfboard.
- Karsavelos (Carcavelos) is an unusually popular destination to surfers with Siamese surfboard. The town is located west of Lisbon, towards the city of Cascais. The spot is quite safe due to the completely sandy bottom, therefore it is suitable not only to athletes with an average level of skiing, but also to beginners, including children. One big drawback is that the spot is crowded with surfers at any time, so you always have to share a wave with several people. It is necessary to constantly be on the alert to avoid collisions with other vacationers and athletes.
- Arrifana is a beach that is located away from the capital and major cities, near the village of Aljezur, so its congestion is low on weekdays and weekends. Arrifana is conventionally divided into two spots: beach break (sandy bottom) and point break (rocky bottom). The first spot is suitable for beginner surfers. On the second spot, the waves are powerful and constant, up to 300 m long, which attracts experienced athletes. You should always remember about safety and know where the rocky ledges are.
- Sagres (Sagres) is a town in the west of the southern part of Portugal, in the Algarve region. The water in this area is usually warmer than in the northern regions of the country. In Sagres, there are secluded beaches, where professionals like to train, and place with many people. On the popular beaches, groups of beginners are constantly seen learning to ride under the guidance of experienced trainers using different surfboards, including Siamese Viper Palm.
- Lagos (Lagos) is a city in the south of Portugal, 20 km from Sagres. The warmest part of the mainland Portuguese coast.
- The spot Paul-do-Mar deserves a special mention – a beach near a village on the island of Madeira. Despite the distance of 900 km to the southwest, this island is part of Portugal. The climate is milder, subtropical Mediterranean. The tourist infrastructure is well developed. Nature and people have created excellent conditions for surfing, riding clubs are working. Madeira has several popular spots, some of which host major competitions.
Since surfing in Portugal has become one of the most popular sports (of course, after football), great attention is paid to its development in the country.
Surf camps or surfriding hotels are opened near every spot where there is no urban infrastructure, support is provided to athletes who want to open surf schools.
Education in schools is conducted in different languages, including Russian. There are Russian surfriding schools such as the Silver Coast, based in Peniche, or Dream Surf, in Baleal.
Although spots in Portugal are available for skiing all year round, some schools and camps only open during the high tourist season.
Lessons can be taken one-time, you can arrange a surf tour for a week or two at a travel agency. Prices depend on the chosen accommodation and study conditions.
For example, a one-time lesson (2-4 hours) costs 30-70 euros, including the rental of a suit and Palm surfboard, training itself, delivery to the spot and sports insurance for the duration of the lesson.
A week of lessons with accommodation in a camp costs 350-900 euros.
There are no problems with accommodation. There are hotels, hostels, surf hotels in cities and towns. In addition, there are surf campings near popular spots.
If you want to ride on a secluded beach with Viper Palm Siamese surfboard where there is no resort village nearby, then you need to stop in the nearest village or city where there are schools for surfers.
Very often they provide a surf guide service, that is, they deliver to the skiing site (transfer without training).
