Hungarian Surf Fest 2022 Recap
- When?
- 8-15 October 2022
- Where?
- Costa De Caparica, Portugal
As the first official Hungarian surf contest since its predecessor, the Hungasurf Open in 2018, this was the event you didn’t wanna miss this year.
Last week was all about celebrating the Hungarian surfing community together at the beautiful beaches of Costa de Caparica, Portugal and with five days of action packed surfing in almost perfect sunny weather, fun side events and great parties, the very first HSF didn’t disappoint
As the first few days of the waiting period looked the most promising there was no time to waste and competition began on Monday with all of Hungary’s best Men and Women surfers in the water. After some mouthwatering battles, local surfer Zoltan Bakro came out on top and defended his title from four years ago. He is also the founder and owner (with his wife Eva Coster) of the renowned little surf house called The Magnet Projects in Caparica, as well as one of the main organizers of the event, along with David Liptay and Anna Liptay-Barath. On the women’s side Katinka Engel took home the win and a brand new surfboard with it after three days of exciting surfing.

The “lay-days” didn’t get boring either, since we were able to hold a Longboard Contest, a Rookie Challenge and also an International Showdown with more then 20 competing surfers from the surrounding countries of Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Poland and Austria.

On Friday we crowned the champions and celebrate this surfing fiesta with a Mary Popkids concert and Matine DJ’s, who came all the way from Hungary to close this perfect week in style.
We can easily say that HSF 2022 surpassed all of our expectations and we’re beyond grateful that as one of the main sponsors of the event, we could witness the rise of a new surfing era in Hungary. Huge thanks to all the organizers and sponsors and let’s hope that from now on, we could meet again in Portugal annually for many more years to come. We will be there for sure
