Pedro.

A very cool school.

 

Pedro created Caparica Surf Academy in 2015 on Praia da Riviera.

Second home.

In a way, Riviera is our favourite spot in Caparica. This is mainly because of Pedro & his team. With his strong shoulders and his huge experience, his perfect knowledge of the waves, we have full trust in Pedro. Consequently, it was obvious to us that we wanted to start this series of mini-interviews with him.
