oK My english is alot better than my portuguese. i replied to your other post but was limited. I speak better than i spell in portuguese. I recently just got back from Lisbon i went the first week of July. they didn't have any Kite Surfers there, but there was tons in Algarve. the beaches are beatiful in lisbon too and if i had my gear i would of done some landboarding there since nobody was on the beaches

There is a spot at Peniche that looks pretty good.

My wife's family is from Portugal, but not on the coast. I was there last October and spent only one day at the beach - wishing I'd brought some kites...

If you do a youtube search for Peniche and kite or landboard you'll find a bunch of other vids. Contact those folks and you'll find some other spots.

The phrases that made me look good with the wife's family were "nao mi diga" and "claro" - they all thought I was such a nice guy. The first one means "you don't say!", and Claro means "Of Course!". I was very agreeable.
