"The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent."
Arnold Schwarzenegger

WHAT IS THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD TO LEARN TO SURF?

Along with the consistency, variety is also one of the perks in Peniche, which attracts all sorts. It's home to one of the WSL Championship Tour events at Supertubos (one of Europe's best beach break) and very close to Nazaré where we can see some of the biggest waves ever surfed.
