ABOUT THE SURF CAMP
LOCATION AND SURF CONDITIONS
We’re located in Baleal, Peniche, Portugal - one of Europe’s top surf destinations. The camp is only a few minutes away from surf spots like Baleal Beach, Lagide, and Cantinho da Baía. There are both sandy beach breaks and more advanced reef breaks, ideal for all levels. Due to the unique geography of the peninsula, you’ll always find waves, no matter the swell or wind direction. The town center of Peniche is a 5-minute drive away, and Lisbon is just around 1h by car.
CAMP CHARACTER
Green House by Truster is a laid-back surf house with a community feel. We welcome solo travelers, couples, digital nomads and surf lovers of all levels, who appreciate a social but relaxed atmosphere. We are not a party hostel, but love good conversations, shared dinners, and chilled sunsets. Main language is Portuguese, though our team also speaks English and Spanish.
CAMP OPERATOR
The camp is managed by the Truster Stoked Club, a surf and community-based project created by locals who believe in shared stoke, sustainability, and personal growth. The team is made up of passionate surf instructors, volunteers, and hosts who bring a human touch to the experience. The project started as a way to create meaningful surf stays with a positive local impact.
