Portugal Bodyboarding – The Perfect Week

September 28, 2016

Daniel Tagliaferri, an experienced bodyboarder and avid water photographer from Western Australia had an amazing run of waves and sunshine in Portugal last week.

Unable to get his mate to commit to a European surf trip, Dan booked up last minute on our 1to1 package in Portugal. For just £799 he got the royal treatment by host, guide and coach Matt ‘Mave’ Davies. 

The package also included:

·       7 nights accommodation

·       7 days guiding and coaching to the best bodyboarding waves in Portugal 

·       Video / photo coaching and analysis

·       Airport transfers

Here are a handful of shots that sum up Dan’s recent trip. Images by Mr. Berry.

I’ve competed at bodyboarding since I was 13. I won my first open division age 14. Then became obsessed with bodyboarding and competed all over the country then the world.  My best year I won 11 events in the UK and internationally. My best result ever was ranking the highest European in the World professional championships at Pipeline. I won over 30 events when I was competing full time.  I have written and edited 4 books on surfing and bodyboarding. Two of which have gone on to be best sellers in their area of specialty.
