I have been surfing since childhood. The bliss that surfing has awarded me has made it my favorite mode of existence.
As a student at university, I began working in hospitality and discovered my passion for hosting guests. From then on I dreamt of combining my two passions, surfing and hosting, one day.
I completed my law degree and became a lawyer. My professional life strayed far from my passions. I was working at an office downtown and only had surf travels to keep my dream alive.
On one of my surf travels I got to Peniche-Baleal. As I sat on the dunes, after an amazing surf session, overlooking the bay, surrounded by beautiful waves. In this classic surftown, I knew I found my perfect place. A place where I could synergize my passions. I wrapped up my office life and kissed it goodbye and set out to live my dream.
Today I live here with my girlfriend and together we run the Ananas Surfhouse, living the life I have been searching for, and welcoming you to join us.

THE TOWN
Baleal, our beautiful surftown, is located one hour drive from Lisbon Airport. It is the beach section of Ferrel local council, within the municipality of Peniche. Baleal is the coolest surf town I've ever been to (and I have been to a lot). It has a very chill vibe, sand dunes, small bays and coves, many little beaches and long stretched beaches as well. Everyone walking around barefoot with their boards, everything in walking distance, just an all-round fun surfer place. But it's not just about surfing, things to do here and around include skating, biking, exploring the beaches, hiking on the cliffs overlooking the ocean or the castle walls of Peniche or Obidos, enjoying the day/nightl social life, practicing yoga, playing tennis or ping pong, or just relaxing in our pool, this place has it all, plus a variety of great restaurants and beach bars.
THE SURF
Because of the region's unique shape of a circular peninsula facing the Atlantic, it always gets waves and it's always offshore somewhere. There's a multitude of surf spots within walking distance and Supertubos is a 5 minute drive. If you want to explore by further driving the cost, you can explore the southern breaks all the way to the famous Ericeira which is 40 minutes south and to the north where there's an endless amount of secluded breaks you can surf by yourselves. The surf breaks are so various that from absolute beginner to kamikaze pro you will find your perfect spot. That's why Peniche-Baleal is the hub for learning first timers and also hosts the world championships.
