ElementFish surf camp

The ElementFish surfcamp is located in between our kitesurfing and surfing spots on the Ofir peninsula, 30 min north of Porto. Only we offer surfing, kiting and stand-up paddle surfing - all right on the doorstep.

Location

Our camp is situated in the dunes of Ofir natural park – approx. 30 minutes north of Porto. Just behind the camp is the estuary of the Rio Cavado, which we use for kite and SUP training. In front of the camp is the Atlantic Ocean with our surfing beaches.
The unique location of the camp in the middle of the dunes offers the ideal conditions for a 100 % relaxing surfing holiday.
