“The sheer beauty of the place combined with the raw quality of the surf makes the Madeiran surfing experience one of the very finest anywhere on the planet.’’ Surf journalist and WSL Broadcaster Paul Evans. 

Evans isn’t the only journalist who has waxed lyrical about the Macaronesian idyll of Madeira, located some 500 km off the coast of Morocco deep in the Atlantic Ocean. In the Pulitzer Prize-winning surf memoir Barbarian Days, William Finnegan dedicates a chapter to the transformative sessions he had on the island for decades. It is perhaps the best chapter of what is easily the best surf book ever written.

In a nutshell, every surfer should visit Madeira. And to make that process a little easier, Surf-Forecast has teamed up with Faja Lodges to give away five nights of accommodation for two people at their Studio Ash. 

You need to follow @surfforecast and @fajalodges on Instagram and tag a surf buddy, with winners announced on 26th June, 2025. It's that easy.

The studio is located just steps from the Atlantic in Fajã da Areia, on Madeira’s untamed, peaceful north coast. With minimalist architecture and curated details, it allows you to immerse yourself in the rhythms of the waves and mountains. The wave offers a unique, but challenging, surfing experience for surfers looking to add some adrenalin to their sessions. 

However, with the studio just a two-minute drive from the charming village of São Vicente, it is perfectly positioned for exploring the island’s wildest side — or for relaxing and doing nothing at all. You can choose to surf, hike, or reset, with a great, uncrowded wave just 50 yards from your open-concept studio. Within touch are the Laurissilva forest, volcanic caves and historical monuments.

Your new local turning on.
