Want to visit a little, surf a little, party a little, relax a little....Is it the good destination? where do I rent a surfboard? where is the good spot for someone that surfs intermediate? where to stay in small but confortable hotels? Thanks for your help ! SEB.

Boards in porto - is it easy to rent a board, travel around and stay near the surf without a car. I do not want to take my board on the plane from back home.
