Surf courses

Surfing courses for beginners and advanced surfers: our experience since 2007 and the location of the camp directly on the well-known surf spots of the Ofir Natural Park (Portugal) - with constant surf and empty line-ups - offer ideal conditions for learning to surf.

Our surf courses include professional surfing lessons from experienced, licensed surf coaches (valid Lifesaver certificates + surf instructor license from the International Surfing Federation - ISA or Portuguese Surfing Federation FPS) and of course the surfing equipment. From the first paddling, to the first take-off (attempt to get up) in white water, to the first green wave surfed, everything is possible.

Our surf course price list is per person including a surfboard and suit - but without accommodation in the camp.

The licensed surf coaches speak German and English.
