Bodyboarding On Demand, In Portugal

July 4, 2016
Here at Bodyboard Holidays we pride ourselves on providing you with the very best sponging adventures, and so we are excited to launch our latest venture:

Bodyboarding on demand in Portugal

Who is it for?

This fantastic new option is aimed at those boogers already in Portugal or those coming over on a non-bodyboarding holiday (business trip, honeymoon, stag/hen party or family getaway) but looking for a day of coaching and/or guiding.

What’s included?

  • Accommodation pick up.
  • Transport to the best spot in your area using Matt’s 10year local knowledge and network of contacts.
  • 2 x 2 hour sessions or 1 x 4 hour session in the water.
  • Beach and water coaching to improve your skills.
  • Individual or small group instruction, giving you plenty of close quarter tuition.
  • Photography / Videography analysis.
  • A copy of the footage to take away with you.
  • De-brief and goal setting.

Coaching sessions are given by our man on the ground in Portugal Matt ‘Mave’ Davies. His knowledge of the area is incredible, he is a fantastic bodyboarder and an excellent instructor. Check out his bio here

When & Where?

Matt is a self-proclaimed bodyboarding addict, and so offers this service 365 days a year! He is based in the Sintra area but can also come and meet you in Lisbon, Ericeira, Peniche and the Algarve.

Customer reviews

Former English Nationals Bodyboarding champion, Harry Abbott, was our first client to test-drive our Bodyboarding on demand’ option, while here on his honeymoon.

Matt collected Harry at first light from the marital suite and headed straight to Carcavelos where they scored 3-4ft hollow perfection for 2 hours. Harry was dropped back before his sleeping beauty had even awoken, feeling refreshed, revitalised and with a USB stick full sick photos.

“Having had zero time to research the waves in Portugal in the run up to my wedding, I had no way of knowing where to go. Fortunately, Matt, a top guide and all round nice guy was able to point me in the right direction.” Harry Abbott
