Unfamiliar with the garment, I’m not even sure I’m putting it on the right way round. Why on earth am I risking humiliation in a place as chic and stylish as Cascais? This Atlantic resort town west of Lisbon has long been seen as a must-do day trip from the Portuguese capital. When it comes to watery pursuits, I should have had more faith – not just in my own abilities, but in Nick and Wolfi from SurfnPaddle Cascais (surfnpaddle.com). Both, I’ve discovered, are fun – although it’s safe to say, getting dressed for dinner is far less of an ordeal.
