ABOUT THE SURF CAMP

SURFING LIFE

Surf is a sport that easily converts into a way of life for those who surf. It breaks frontiers and pushes down barriers.

It's all about letting it flow. This is one of the most important factors when coming into contact with the ocean. Getting washed by the first waves quickly teaches one that getting agitated and rigid are not the best solutions in moments of confusion. As such, one learns that being relaxed and calm are the best ways to affront such situations and are the fastest ways of getting to the surface and filling up our lungs with much appreciated air.

Calling nature 'mother nature' is not a name given limited to the art of creating life, but also refers to nature as a form of raising us up and helping up mature, as does a good mother. This is only possible if we know how to observe nature, to respect, understand and interact. It is this that has converted us, surfers, into a tribal group with different visions and Sensilility towards nature and life.

To a mere spectator, surf can seem just like any other sport, i.e. a physical activity to enjoy, have fun and to relax. The truth is that surfing goes much further than being just a sport. It is a philosophy, a way of life and a way of looking at life. In a certain way, one who chooses to surf chooses not to be in the city, one chooses to take care of the environment and to take care of himself or herself. Surf is a sport that demands, perhaps more than most sports a good physical fitness and of course good swimming ability. Surfing does not finish when we leae the ocean and put our board in its bag. Surfng is about loving the ocean, about loving nature, being barefoot on the warm sand, or on the damp shoreline sand. It is a passion for feeling good and for a healthy lifestyle. Surf as a whole improves important personal qualities essential in everyday life; patience, wisdom, perseverance and strength. Perseverance and strength are necessary to paddle out against the waves and currents, to fight against strong white-water and resist getting tired in order to get where we need to be. Once one has passed through the white-water and breaking waves to get to the peak it is then about patience, sitting on the board and waiting. One has to wait for the waves to come. They will arrive in their own due time, and when they do we have to decide which one is ours, which one do we want to take. After spending more and more time in the ocean and accumulating 'salt-water' hours we will have more knowledge and will know how to recognise good waves when we see them arrive.

When man understands nature, he will have begun to understand himself, feeling peace in his heart and harmony in his mind"

Many surfers have spent various years in the ocean. They have happily suffered getting up at the crack of dawn to go surfing, been cold and hungry. Many have left girlfriends or boyfriends and moved far away from family and friends in order to find their perfect wave. The perfect wave is different for each surfer, it is not only about the style of the wave but also about a combination of external factors that surround the wave; the climate, the people, nature... Don't ever leave the search!!
