We are a Surf School and Surf Camp based in the west coast of the Algarve of Portugal in a village called Odeceixe that sits inside a Natural Park ( Protected area) and we have been teaching people to surf since 2003.
We are always updated on the latest coaching methods and our instructors are professionals accredited by the Portuguese Federation of surf and Life Guards by the I.S.N institution. We provide all levels available and only practice in safe conditions.
The surf shop is one of the biggest in the Algarve and supports the Discovery Surf School and Surf Camp with several big promotions throughout the year and is situated close to the surf camp and we will gladly take any of our clients there if need be.
The Surf Camp is surrounded by plums, peaches, and other fruit trees with nothing but open land and a river. Whilst enjoying your breakfast you will see all this breath taking nature including palm trees and hear nothing but the birds and the wind. It is close to Odeceixe beach, Amoreira beach and about 5 minutes to a camping site where there is always other activities of all kinds. Odeceixe has wonderful food, art, festivals near by, and a great local scene.
Learning to surf is one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences you can have with Mother Nature . No matter what your ability there is a wave out there for everyone!
"Well, for me, I can never get enough. I mean, I do get satisfied. I do get my fill in a day, I get tired and want to go home and sleep or eat, but the next day if the waves are happening, I'm out there again. It's not something that necessarily gets old. You push yourself to a certain limit and once you've done something new you've want to keep going, you want to do something further. I surf, I walk, I sleep. It's that much a part of my life. In that way it's very addictive"
