LISBON SURF CITY | VON FROTH

When it comes to mixing great waves and a thrilling urban scene, there’s no place like Lisbon, Portugal. Where else can one enjoy the pleasures of riding perfect peaks in the morning, under the shadow of Sintra’s ancient castles and palaces, just before experiencing all the attractions of a thriving and culturally rich European capital, in the afternoon? This unique mix between town and country, city and beach, is partly the reason why, more than 30 years ago, Nic Von Rupp’s dad decided to settle down after a lifetime of globetrotting. Watch Nic and his gorgeous girlfriend relishing the goods of that wise decision in this first episode of Portugal Back to Back, which will take you on a journey around Europe’s greatest surfing nation, and all that makes it a place that, as stated by Mr Von Rupp, being good enough for kings, should be good enough for everyone. You included.

I got to live at Surf Iberia in Praia das Maças for a couple months during grad school and surfed some of the best waves of my life. The whole coast is great waves and even better people.

Just went back yesterday from a surf trip from Biarritz France (hometown) to Lisbon /ericeira / Peniche/ nazare and I tell you Portugal is amazing for surfing, good atmosphere in the water, amazing waves and landscapes. Been surfing Ribeira d'ihlas, coxos (cave), praia do sul, supertubos, baleal, middle bay, cancelaçao.. Beach breaks to point and reef breaks, so many choices !!!! So cool to see your video today making me sad to get back home 😂 Muitoooo obrigado 🇵🇹

Thanks for a great segment! It makes me wanna experience your home town. I watch a lot of clips from many creators as I’m sure many do also but I gotta say with all your success’s and experiences you are so humble and appreciative of not just surfing, but for life! Your stoke to be doing what your doing is very inspiring ! If I’m not having the best day or my attitude needs to be checked I watch one of your vlogs and it reminds to take a different approach and appreciate the smaller things. Finding the stoke from surfing to my surroundings and the people I interact with along the way! Keep doing what you’re doing Nic! Many thanks!🤙🏽

Portuguese born and raised in Montreal but Portugal is in my bones. Hoping to eventually be able to live there 6 months of the year. I fell in love with Sintra (Azenhas do Mar in 2019). I love your passion for your country and for life. You are an inspiring young man and I hope a lot of kids are paying attention.

[@jpmtlhead39]

O teu pai tem muita razão. Já fomos o centro do mundo. A primeira potência Global. Quanto ao surf,essas praias desse lado (tirando Carcavelos,quando está sul) e muito vento,demais. Aqui na Costa estamos bem,temos 20 kms de praia,muita onda para todos,todas as idades e gênero,ninguém te chateia. Eu moro mesmo em frente a praia nova,e desde os meus 12 anitos que apanho ondas aí,sempre que possível. Tenho 54, mas sempre na onda,e como uma religião. Mesmo. Mas Força meu,tens um canal fixe,uma família melhor e uma vida que gostas,o que e o mais importante de tudo. PS: Eu felizmente já tive oportunidade de viajar e conhecer "meio mundo",muita gente boa,lugares fantásticos,e ondas Sublimes,mas uma coisa e verdade( pelo menos para mim) Lisboa e das cidades mais bonitas do mundo,especialmente num dia de sol,e estares ou no castelo de Almada ou no Cristo Rei,e simplesmente a verdadeira Cidade Luz. Portugal Always,and all The best.

Love Portugal. Been there 3 times, each time for a few weeks (mostly Ericeira). I come from South Africa and its just as beautiful but it's hardcore 3rd world with all the crime, corruption, chaos, no future. I love nature too and the Alps blows me away, lived in Switzerland, Austria. Austria, Switzerland just have too many rules, people are highly stressed, far too serious, so much that you are not allowed to do. Portugal is beautiful, great waves and the people are chilled, relaxed. Smack in the middle of hardcore 3rd world to overbearing northern Europe first world. I really think I am going to end up in Portugal. Love this clip, I just want to pack my bags and head straight to Ericeira/Lisbon. Nic, you making me jealous but I am looking forward to the next clips.

hahaha you´ve said it all. Portugal is the best

[@hospagalief]

I'm from cape town and Iisbon has to be my second fave place in the world but afraid it sold out to the merican tourists now, was amazing and cheap 10 years ago

[@svenseifritz7283]

@@nicvonrupp1671 Forgot to mention, waves are far better in Portugal. Cape Town has some serious reef breaks but my limit is 8 foot. Generally very inconsistent, fickle, ice cold beach breaks. I have started a new job in Münich, Germany. In a few months I hope to make my home office Portugal!!!

[@svenseifritz7283]

@@hospagalief Spent a lot of time in Lisbon, Ericiera. Hardly met any Americans? Peniche and Algarve are full of Germans but Lisbon/Ericiera is still full on Portugues. All countries change, everyone said's their country is not what it used to be......

[@hospagalief]

@@svenseifritz7283 well I know it's been trending hard with mericans and is not as cheap anymore as a result. Yes this does happen but just means there are few unique and non corporatized, mericanized and touristy places left

Hi, I'm planning my first surfing camp in Portugal. I can swim a bit but I'm not confident in deeper water. Does it make sense for me to try surfing at all? What's the depth of water where you usually ride a wave? From this video it looks like you're pretty close to the shore..
