CAMP OPERATOR
Sérgio Marcos Aparício: Hello! My name is Sérgio Marcos Aparício, I am the founder and technical director of Santa Bárbara Surf School Azores. I am certified as a surf instructor by the Portuguese Surfing Federation since 1998. I’m from Peniche, where I started surfing 25 years ago. In Peniche I founded "Bay School", where I worked several years as a surf instructor. Later, I took a degree in sports in Leiria’s University. In 2001 I moved to the Azores, working as a teacher of Physical Education in different schools of the archipelago. I have been working in the formation of young athletes in various clubs on the island of S. Miguel in all levels, from begginers to competitors, defending titles at regional, national and world level.
Ilona Ganzenko: Hello! I am Ilona, I work at "Santa Barbara Surf School Azores" as a manager. My job is to organize the groups in levels of education, distribution of the material for the classes, to answer to the needs of the surfers, photo / video ...
I am from St. Petersburg, but I have always had a passion for the sea and the Azores are undoubtedly an ideal place for nature lovers.
I love to walk on the beach and breathe the sea air, feel the warm water in the summer and, of course, surf with my funboard.

SURF COURSE AND ACTIVITIES
SURF COURSE DETAILS
The location of the lesson is decided the day before, to ensure the best conditions.
We pick-up and drop-off in Ponta Delgada and Ribeira Grande, depending on our availability (20€).
Mosteiros Beach is located on the west coast, that works as a point break with ripples from the northeast quadrant to the south quadrant. In the fishing harbour they break long rights and, sometimes, with south waving, the lefts begin to function. The waves of Mosteiros are waves that break into slabs of rock, requiring a lot of experience. The crowd in Mosteiros is quite affable.
SURF MATERIALS
The surf guide includes a wetsuit, a leash and the right board to each student level. The water temperature ranges from 15º to 17º in winter and 20º to 24º in summer.
All you need to bring is a towel, some shorts or bikini and sunscreen.
