Surf Adventures
Our Surfing Adventures course is a program aimed for the advanced begginer surfer. To us, advanced begginer means that you are able to surf unbroken waves, what we call green waves. This means a surfer that already has relatively strong paddling skills and wants to work important aspects that will make you feel more confident in your surf ability.
Dedicated, one-on-one instruction with a maximum student to instructor ratio of 5:1, mean you will have plenty of private coaching, you will leave this course with a solid understanding of your equipment, awerness of body position, enough wave and ocean knowledge to put yourself in position to and actually catch an open faced wave in most of the surf spots.
What can I expect?
This 5 day course is a pure surf adventure. Surfing everyday for about 4/5 hours (with a break in between of course), eating delicious local food, enjoying the nature and sorroundings and making surf buddies that will last a life time.
Our focus during the course is to arm you with the solid knowledge of surfing and experience to do it safely and with a lot of fun in your future solo trips, but as well give you the experience of a Portuguese holiday and living the Algarve like the locals do.
The beggining of the day will always start with the evaluation of the swell size, and wind direction, and make a decision all together as a team on where to go on that specific day. One of the great advantages of surfing in the Algarve is the amazing variety & consistency available within a short distance, all year around and all levels.
Topics include:
- Evaluation of the Conditions
- Positioning yourself in the surf and with the crowd
- Hazards and how to deal with them
- Understanding weather and forecast
- Safety and ethic rules of surfing
- Generating speed and body awarness
- Improving your paddling, sitting, and wave-catching techniques
- Timing, reading the waves, and priority rules
- How to surf various types of waves
- Depending on your level, performance of manoeuvres: Bottom Turn, Off-the-lip, cutback, and floater
- How to select surf gear that is adequate for your level

What else?
Each retreat will be unique and unforgettable. We will be experiencing Portugal south coast in the most authentic way, exactly like how it was for me growing up here.
Everyday after surfing I'll take you on little tours around the region, to explore the traditional villages, swim and relax in secret hidden beaches, watch the sun set in espectacular locatios, or the moon rise, and to finish the day nourishing ourselfs with delicious food in a local restaurant.
Includes also a visit to the renowned local surfboard factory Ferox Surfboards, where you can order yourself a customised board.
