Madeira Archipelago is known as the Atlantic Hawaii, due to its characteristics, which give the opportunity to enjoy this sport to the maximum!
Amazing waves can be found in Madeira. This archipelago is a wonderful place to get the perfect swell of the North Atlantic. It gets any wave type such as point breaks or reef breaks. Its excellent waves are made by the rough sheer coast on its rocks on the seabed.
