Surfboard rental in Ericeira
In Ericeira, local surf shops and schools rent surfboards for about €15 to €35 a day, with pickup in the village or at the car park above Ribeira d'Ilhas. Marola books the boards its partner shops have listed.
Ericeira is Europe's only World Surfing Reserve: six world-class reef and beach breaks packed into a few kilometres of coast, 45 minutes from Lisbon. Whether you're chasing the walling rights of Ribeira d'Ilhas, the slabs at Coxos, or mellow longboard days at Foz do Lizandro, travelling with the right quiver is expensive and airlines make it worse.
Marola works with surf shops and schools along this coast, and they list boards for the walls at Ribeira d'Ilhas and mellow longboard days at Foz do Lizandro. When one of them has a board free for your dates, you book it here and collect it near the beach. The stock, the handover and the advice on which break is working stay with the shop.
Most handovers happen in Ericeira village or right at the car park above Ribeira d'Ilhas, a two-minute walk from the water. If you're staying without a car, the village breaks, restaurants and pickup points are all within easy walking or cycling distance.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent a surfboard in Ericeira?
Local shops charge about €15 to €35 a day depending on the board and season, usually less per day on a weekly booking. Book a partner shop through Marola and any deposit is a hold on your card instead of paperwork at the counter.
Where do I pick the board up?
You arrange pickup with the shop or school once the booking is made. Most are based in or around Ericeira village and hand over near the main breaks or in town, and the exact meeting point is agreed after booking.
Which board should I rent for Ericeira?
For Ribeira d'Ilhas and Pedra Branca, a shortboard or fish works from waist-high up. Foz do Lizandro is the beginner and longboard beach. If Coxos is on your list you already know what you need, and the shops here often have proper step-ups they trust.
What if Ribeira d'Ilhas is too crowded?
Ask wherever you rent from. Most can point you to Pedra Branca or Foz do Lizandro, both a short drive away and usually calmer, especially outside weekend mornings.
