About Europe

Europe's Atlantic seaboard is world-class surf territory that regularly appears on the global WCT calendar. Portugal is the continent's undisputed surf capital: Nazaré holds the world record for the largest wave ever surfed; Ericeira is a World Surfing Reserve with a dozen world-class breaks within a few kilometers; Peniche hosts the WSL's Rip Curl Pro. France's Landes coast and the Basque Country deliver powerful beach break and point surf from September through April. The UK, meaning Cornwall, Wales, and Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way, offers cold-water barrels in spectacular coastal scenery, with a growing school infrastructure year-round.

Most Europe schools supply the board and wetsuit. Bring a swimsuit, towel, reef-safe sunscreen, water, and a willingness to get wet. Check the operator's profile for anything specific to their location or session format.
