Awesome shop with great staff! Easily 5/5
Any vacation time I get, I’m doing a surf trip, and it’s normally cheaper to rent boards than fly with my own. I came to these guys on my first day staying in Carcavelos. I normally surf “advanced” boards but didn’t realize I needed to reserve the advanced boards online beforehand. You can rent “intermediate” or “beginner” boards at the shop so I ended up renting an “intermediate” board that was 5’8 kinda all around board with a lotta float.
The board treated me well for the six days I was in the area surfing: tubes, turns, and some failed airs!
The staff is super nice and let me keep my bag inside the shop while surfing which was nice peace of mind while I was out in the water. The guys speak Portuguese (of course), English, and some Spanish so communication was no issue. They also gave me a quick locals explanation of the carcavelos wave which helped me understand it faster than if I were figuring out the spot on my own.
Fair prices for the boards and everything too. If I come back, I’m definitely going back to them.
