You will not stay alone. The Madeira Surf community is already waiting.

From first-time longboarders at Praia Formosa to reef charging at Jardim do Mar. The group syncs tides daily, shares swell alerts, and organises carpools so nobody ends up at the wrong break on the wrong day.
Group vibe
Stoked, tide-obsessed, casual. Loud morning chat from 4:30am, quiet by 9pm.
Example members. Real archetypes drawn from the people who already meet up here.
From Sao Paulo
3 months in Funchal, intermediate longboard, always up for 5am Ponta Pequena.
From Tel Aviv
Ex-software, shortboard, chasing Jardim do Mar when swell is overhead.
From Osaka
Beginner, learning at Praia Formosa, asks lots of questions in the chat (we love that).
From Byron Bay
Lives in Ribeira Brava, reads swell charts for fun, owns three boards.
