Surfboard Repair in Portugal — Where to Get Your Board Fixed by Region
Share
In Portugal, surfboard repair specialists are available across all coastal regions — with prices ranging from €15 for simple dings to €100+ for structural damage. The most recommended by the surf community — ACDC Surf Studio in Sintra, We Fix You Surf in Carcavelos, São Tomé in Cascais, Fiber Crew in Cascais and Mica Surfboards in Ericeira — offer fast turnaround and direct WhatsApp contact. This is the complete guide by region.
What Can Be Repaired
Almost everything. Experienced repair specialists work with simple dings, fin box cracks, delamination, broken tails and noses, ripped out fin boxes, full structural repairs and even vintage board restorations. The difference between a good repair and a bad one is visible in the water — a careless repair alters the board's flex, weight and response.
General rule: never surf a board with open dings. Water gets in, the foam absorbs it, the weight increases and the problem multiplies.
Norte
Mister Ding — Valadares, Gaia
The reference name for repairs in the north of Portugal. Based in Valadares, close to some of the most consistent waves on the northern coast, Mister Ding handles all types of repairs — dings, delamination, fin boxes and structural work. Contact is made by email with a photo of the board — a simple and efficient way to get a diagnosis before bringing the board in person.

Lisboa and the Cascais Line
This is the area with the highest concentration of quality repair specialists in the country — which makes sense given the volume of surfers between Cascais and Costa da Caparica.
ACDC Surf Studio — Oeiras
One of the most complete repair studios in Portugal. Alessandro — the founder and heart of the project — has over 17 years of experience, started working inside surfboard factories and built ACDC Surf Studio around a simple philosophy: treat every board as if it were his own. The name is no coincidence — "Before the Repair and After the Repair" — and the results speak for themselves.
Beyond repairs, ACDC also sells used boards and offers honest advice on whether it's worth repairing or investing in a new board. Consistently excellent reviews from both Portuguese and international surfers.

São Tomé Surf Repair — Trajouce, Cascais
One of the most respected names in the Cascais surf community. São Tomé works out of Trajouce and is contacted directly via WhatsApp. The approach is personal and direct — no intermediaries. Ideal for surfers on the Cascais line who want a trusted repair from someone who genuinely knows boards.

Another solid name in the Cascais area, Fiber Crew has an active Instagram presence and takes bookings via WhatsApp. An operation focused on quality work with a strong reputation among local surfers on the Cascais line.

We Fix You Surf — Carcavelos
The most professionally organised repair service in Portugal. The system is simple: drop your board at the Quiksilver store in Carcavelos, fill out a form, receive WhatsApp updates and collect when ready. Fast, transparent on pricing and consistently good results. Especially recommended for travelling surfers who need guaranteed turnaround times.
Costa da Caparica and Almada
Blue Room Surf Hub — Charneca da Caparica
Blue Room is more than a factory — it has a professional repair service focused on complex work. Delamination, full restorations, fin box replacements, structural repairs requiring vacuum systems or specialist materials like carbon and kevlar. They use bio-resins and eco-friendly materials. For simple dings it may be overkill, but for serious damage it is probably the best option in the Lisbon area.
