VIDEO: Nic Von Rupp Charges The Portuguese Coast

Ericeira, Portugal is home to the first European World Surfing Reserve – and for good reason. With upwards of 20 breaks at the spot, it’s one of Nic Von Rupp’s favorite places in the world to surf. In his eyes, it even beats places like Tahiti and Hawaii for wave quality. Von Rupp teams up with Portuguese World Tour rider Frederico “Kikas” Morais and a bunch of other European surfing aces to tackle some pointbreak bombs during a perfect session at Coxos, scoring barrel after barrel.
