Personal Experience

With 44 years of age, has more than 28 sliding the waves. In his childhood and back in the long summer vacations, spent the days at Caparica´s small white water waves until age 15 when started more seriously within Bodyboarding, activity in which became Vice Champion of the University National Championship in 1998 along with a degree in European Studies.

Though changing his Bodyboard for a Surfboard on a few occasions, the final change came only in 1999. At the same time, Nuno returns to the University and to the area that always fascinated him (Sports). Today he is one of the few academically skilled professionals in Surfing: Graduated in Sport Sciences with specialisation in Surfing by Faculdade de Motricidade Humana. His internship supervisor was Prof. Miguel Moreira (now the Technical Director of Portuguese Surfing Federation), recognised Coach and researcher of this sport. Nuno also finished the II Post Graduation in Surfing at the same University in June 2011.

Nuno Sequeira was also Assistant Teacher at Faculdade de Motricidade Humana where in 2011 / 2012 taught the Surfing module in the subject of Didactics of Physical and Sports Activities I. Besides these academic positions Nuno also has the Portuguese Surfing Federation Level II Instructors Course and worked alongside some of the most respected Portuguese coaches like David Raimundo, Nuno Telmo and Hugo Zagalo. Nuno was also the Portuguese Surfing Federation Instructors Courses Manager in 2014.

Like all other surfers, Nuno also has some favorite waves: Carcavelos, some “secret” beaches of Caparica and Praia da Rocha tops the list in Portugal. Have also traveled to surf in places like Hawaii, California, Florida, Maldives, South Africa, Mozambique, Brazil, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Dubai, Ghana, France, Spain, Tenerife, Lanzarote and Cape Verde (islands of Sal, Boa Vista and S. Vicente) so he knows what it means to “be on the other side” and this reflects the friendly way he welcomes surfers and visitors from all over the world in his city and beaches.
