NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Gui Fonseca
Â
I’ve been surfing for over 20 years, growing up in Peniche and spending most of my time at the iconic Supertubos break. It’s no surprise I fell in love with the waves here—they’ve shaped not only my skills but also my career.
Over the years, I’ve competed professionally in national and international contests, and in 2022, I made history as the first Portuguese surfer to place 4th at the ISA World Games.Â
Today, I’m lucky to be considered one of the top surfers in Portugal. But more than competing, I love helping others improve their surfing. Whether it’s breaking down techniques or sharing tips I’ve learned from a lifetime in the water, I’m here to help you become a better surfer.
