Back in 1982 Portugal was the surfers dream and Ericeira was the mystical surf trip for all surfers due to quality and rawness of the surf. At the time Nick Uricchio and Miguel Katzenstein created Semente Surfboards the choice of where to set up shop was simple, where is the best surf? Ericeira more to the point right on top of one of the best right handers in Europe, Coxos. Surfing was the driving force behind the partners in the beginning and the passion for surfboard design and construction. The name Semente meaning seed in English was chosen and represented the base of a project that would grow and flourish in the future.
