Why LISBON SURF CAMP?
“SURFINGhas been a focal part of my life for some 33 years. It has dared me to evolve as a human being and continues to do so every day.
The skills learnt in the water such as being alert and taking the right decisions in the moment, sensory mind and body coordination, timing, persistence and learning to flow, have served me daily, in and out of the water.
I am truly grateful for the opportunity to teach and pass on this knowledge to others, witness and share in the ultimate fun and synch with nature surfing brings. It continuously enriches my life.“
~ Pedro Couto, European Master champ 2005, 2007. Surfschool Technical Director and Surf Camp Manager
