I plan to visit Madeira spots in december?
Could anybody hellp me with accomodation or car rental?
Any surfshop there, so i can ask guys few things?
Maybe some surfer has some room for rent? do i think right way, that island is pretty small, so i can visit few spots one day, or the roads are very bad, as it looks at google maps?

Big thanks for help in addvance ;)

Aloha Madeira
Boas Madeira.
Com o que li apenas digo que a conduta, humildade e respeito se consegue um bom ambiente e uma boa harmonização.
Contudo na próxima semana vou conhecer a vossa Ilha Magica (não só pelo Surf, mas tb pela gastronomia, paisagens, poncha e por tudo o que a rodeia).

Vou passar uma semana e se possível gostava de apanhar umas ondas (isto se não estiver Gigante, heheh).

Abraços. boas ondas e quem sabe se não nos encontramos.

Se alguém me poder dar umas dicas agradecia...

Obrigado,
Hélder Marques (helderjm@gmail.com)

Porto da cruz, Madeira

When the Weathers right, there is Great Surfing down in Porto Da Cruz,  used regularly by the locals and they should know the best spot on the Island. Take care of the rocks and the strong current.. no lifeguards here. &nbs
