Surfing in Madeira

In Madeira, the sea is a sacred temple. The archipelago's symbiotic relationship with the ocean is centuries old but continues to mark the daily pulse. Perhaps this is why surfers from all over the world feel so at home here, making surfing in Madeira a form of connection to this cult space. The island's rugged topography is fundamental for the constant formation of perfect, clean and big waves that have made Madeira's surf spots famous on the international surf circuit. More and more world-famous icons, such as Grant 'Twiggy' Baker or Garrett McNamara, are surrendering to Madeira's surfing potential, considered the Atlantic Hawaii.
