Question for those familiar with waves in the Ericeira area, specifically Ribeira D’Ilhas on a 3-4ft day, which would you choose?

- 5’11 CI Happy Everyday
- 5’10 CI Rocket Wide
- 5’8 Lost RNF96

Thanks in advance.

Have not surfed that wave much. Mushy but still requires some paddling. For the other waves, maybe the happy but probably more of a slight step up. It doesn’t necessarily need a ton of swell to start pumping.

There were some rental boards at Magic Quiver in the middle of town. But their website doesn't want to load for me.

On a not-strictly-surf trip, with my wife. Passing through Ericeira and will have about a 24-hour window to surf…so, renting a board from a local.
Went with the Happy Everyday. Thx all!
Portugal's cool. When are you going? Have a great trip. Don't forget to eat "bitok"-steak with egg on top and french fries, or pescespada- swordfish (which is not the swordfish we eat in the US but is still really good., or "cataplana"- seafood stew. Oh, and hoist a glass of vinho verde for fellow travellers past, present and future. :cheers:

Maybe you'll get one like the first wave?
