ERIC SILVA “You can’t stop the waves but you can learn how to surf.” - Jon Kabat-zinn
I was born in Andorra but have lived most of my life in Vila Nova de Milfontes, where I have created a strong connection with the ocean. I started surfing when I was 12 years old, having been one of the first students of SurfMilfontes, and it is with great pride that I am part of this team today.I have graduated in Biology in Évora University, and have always been very passionate about nature, animals and plants, and the entire ecosystem to which we belong and must respect.From my point of view, surf represents a unique connection with nature and the ocean, provides incredible moments of freedom and fun – surf is more than a sport; it is a lifestyle.
