The surf camp worth coming back for

Everything. 7 nights accommodation, all meals (breakfast + themed dinners), 5 days of lessons with certified instructors, all gear (boards, wetsuits), daily rides to the best beaches, yoga sessions, and full access to the pool and hangout spaces. No hidden fees. What you see is what you pay, and you're looked after the whole week.

Yes — you're covered. We use soft foam boards, keep groups small (max 6 per instructor), and teach ocean basics before you paddle out. Instructors are ASI-certified with years of experience. In fact, 85% of complete beginners stand up within their first few days. You'll feel confident, not scared.

100% come solo. Over 50% of our guests arrive solo and leave with a crew. Shared dinners, the pool, the Barraka Bar — the setup makes it really easy to meet people fast. Most solo travelers say they feel like they joined a little surf family by day two.

Dorms (social, budget-friendly, recently renovated), twin rooms shared between two people (shared or en-suite bathroom), and full bungalows/apartments (for couples or groups). Want a twin room to yourself? Single room upgrades are available for an extra charge. Solo travelers usually pick dorms, couples go for twins or bungalows.Families and group of friends mostly choose bungalows or apartments All clean, comfortable, and steps from the pool.

We choose the best beach daily based on conditions. Portugal has 300+ surf days a year, so flat days are rare. If it's genuinely unsurfable, we'll reschedule or refund you — your choice. We've canceled less than 2% of sessions in 19 years.

It's more than "a bed + a lesson." We've been here since 2006, with real progression tools (surf-skate, video analysis), great food, a pool, and daily logistics to the best spots. It's a crew-style vibe without chaos. Over 1,300 guests rated us 4.9/5 — the experience sticks.

Cancel up to 6 weeks before for a full deposit refund. Shorter notice has tiered charges, but we keep it fair. Need to shift dates instead? We'll work with you. The full policy is clear when you book. We're flexible because we want you here when timing's right.
