where to get a board in portugal?

fiend21

So im going to portugal next week and I am going to get a board over there (anything from 6'0" to 6'6") instead of bringing or posting one and risking the damage a baggage handler could do to it.
does anyone know any good shops in the south that has a good selection but isnt overpriced for tourists, I have looked online and all I can find is lagos surf center but I would like to look around anyway when im there. ill be in Algarve near aljezur but ill be getting there from Faro airport and I can pick one up on the way so anywhere nearby would be great

In the industrial zone outside villa de bispo there is a large ish surf shop or try sagres there area couple of shops there. Enjoy the holiday it's a great spot if its big and you see very few locals about they are all down in zafiell

I worked at a surfcamp in that area last summer, Jah Shaka Surf shop in Lagos have a pretty sweet selection of boards, not sure if they are selling second hand ones atm........also there's a guy who works with "The surf experience" in Lagos who will shape you a custom board, his name is Justin
