hola
unfortuneately i dont speak portugese but im planning on moving there so i will learn then. but from what i´ve heard the portugese people are extremely friendly and speak english well so hopefully you can give me some useful info here.
i have my own business(writing computer programs) for various compans and so i can live where i want and i im very free in my work.
i live in sweden currently but i want to move out of their because of the cold and bad wind and since Portugal is in the EU(right?) VISAs and such is not a problem.
my winters i will spend in the alps skiing so im mostly gonna stay in portugal from may-nov so how is portugal from May to November for kiting and classic wave-surfing?
i´d like info on spots, windstatistics, temperatures and waves.
also where is the best place to live. is lissabon a good city to live in and is it good for kiteing close to it?
my ideal of good kiteing is 16-25 knots and big waves or flatwater, chop is ok too.
i also want to urf waves the classic way, where are the cleanest and biggest breaks? close to any good kitespots?
Guincho seems quite good according too windguru. is Guincho a spot or a town? how big is the nearest town? nice place to live?
all of portugal seems a little cold though. sure mild the rest of the year but the summer is no 30 degrees Celsius exactly
