Antonio Neto, Brazilian, has lived in Ericeira for 8 years. With more than 20 years dedicated to surfing, between competitions and free surfing, he came to find his dream job to teach his greatest passion in Portugal, surf coach for a few years, qualified and very motivated to pass on knowledge to other people.
Ni Andrade, started surfing when he was 10. With many years of competition and he loves being able to share his wisdom and passion for surfing to his students. He is teaching surf lessons at Progress Surf School for about 7 years and due to the quality of Ericeira's waves, he identifies this place as my home.
The Civil Engineer career was left behind during the second year of the course, as soon as
he realised that his relationship with the sea and surfing was what really made him vibrate. I know, at that moment, that his future would go through journalism and explaining surfing to people. And so it has been for 30 years.
The founder, legend and now angel, Filipe Henriques Rastef, born, raised and died in Ribamar. Filipe was a competitor of bodyboarder for 13 years and was Western Portugal triple champion. Since 2005 he used his pure motivation to teach the beautiful art of riding waves. He was one of the best teachers in Ericeira. We can see Filipe’s memorial in São Lourenço’s beach.
