EVENT DETAILS & INFO
Location: Sintra, Portugal
We will primarily be skating on roads closed to traffic and in public outdoor skateparks. Shuttling to and from all skate spots is included in the rider fee. The area surrounding Lisbon and Sintra not only offers the perfect terrain to skate, but also boasts numerous sights including a UNESCO world heritage national park.
The event is limited to 28 riders.
Date: 05.03. - 12.03.2016
Accommodation:
We’ll be staying at The Lodge, a sustainable and eco-friendly oasis tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Lisbon and a mere stone’s throw from the ocean. The place also boasts a small spa area to soothe achy limbs after a long day’s riding: http://thelodgeportugal.com
A variety of other action sports activities, e.g. mountain biking, surfing, climbing or bouldering can be booked directly through The Lodge. Please visit their website for details. We do recommend you take it easy on rest day, however you may wish to extend your stay to benefit from the varied outdoor sports programme Sintra has to offer.
Directions from Lisbon airport:
Take the underground to Oriente (3 stops), then the train towards Sintra. Get off at Porteal de Sintra, where we will pick you up. The journey by underground and train will cost approximately 5 € and takes about 1.5 – 2 hours.
No additional charges will incur for the pick-up from Sintra to The Lodge. You will receive details of pick-up and drop-off times by email once sign-up is full, as times will depend on the travel arrangements of all riders requiring this option.

We will provide a number of longboards and skateboards for those of you who do not have a board of their own yet, or simply if you’d like to experiment with different set-ups. Please state this on the registration form so we get an idea of numbers. The skatepark(s) we will be visiting are longboard-friendly.
Bedlinen and towels are provided. The evenings will likely be chilly in March, thus we do recommend that you pack appropriate clothing and footwear. We will be outdoors for most of the day, please come prepared for different weather conditions including wind and rain.
The venue:
You'll be sharing twin/triplet rooms with other riders. All participants will be able to make use of the onsite spa facilities, including an outdoor swimming pool, a Finnish sauna and a jacuzzi whirlpool. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included. Drinks, with the exception of water, tea and coffee (e.g. juices, fizzy drinks or alcohol) are not included and can be purchased at discounted prices from The Lodge. Please note that dinner will not be provided on Saturday evening (arrival), however there are numerous Portuguese bars and restaurants in the vicinity.
Saftey & Insurance:
Your safety is our utmost priority and we will do everything we can to minimise the risk of injury, including a thorough warm-up prior to all skate sessions. We will be skating different spots, therefore no ambulance will be present onsite. However, medical assistance can be obtained quickly if needed, and we have a paramedic among the crew. Please note that you are required to obtain adequate sports or travel insurance cover for this trip and evidence thereof must be provided in advance.
