Killerfish Surfboards
A small hand-shaping operation on the Cascais line at Parede, near Carcavelos, doing custom boards and ding repairs with a strong local following.
Killerfish is a one-man operation based at Parede, on the Carcavelos-to-Cascais line. The shaper does custom boards to your dimensions and also takes ding repairs, which makes it a useful contact if you are surfing the area for a while and something breaks.
No online shop - contact is by phone, email or Instagram (@killerfish_surfboards), and boards are picked up from the workshop.

A right-hand rock reef on the Cascais train line that sleeps most of the year and wakes up on a big west or south-west swell. A local's wave for experienced surfers, not a learner's beach.
