Answers - For the ones who are asking I try to answer. I'm north Portugal bodyboarder and I will be in Alentejo beachs in firts weeks of Juin. The weather will not be so good for the waves in the first days of the week, but by the end will be better. If you stau in Lagos no car and no surf camp you will not surf at all.

PortugalSurf - Hitting Portugal for two weeks in June, anyone know the lay of the land?Reason being, I'll be there for two weeks for surf and fun. I think I'll just be buying a board there!Know any good surf shops?The cost to ship from California on my flights is insane. I bought soft racks for the rental car and questioning whether to bring my shorty wetsuit or stick with a full? Or bring both?Any help or suggestions would be great! I have my family in-tow as well.Oh and check out my site, www.yousurftubes.com
