SURF COACHING WEEK

14 to 21 October 2023

During your surf coaching week in Portugal we set certain objectives to improve your skills and bring your surfing to the next level. Together with our experienced surf coaches you will improve your surfing, learn how to take more waves and make the most out of your future surf trips. Intense and fun learning methods like video coaching, surf skate sessions, flexibility training and movement sequences help to visualize and integrate your new knowledge into your surf sessions

You have been to a surf camp or joined a few surf lessons. You want to take your own waves, learn to surf down the line and go left or right. You want to leave the white water behind you, once and for all and enjoy the waves out in the back. This is the right surf trip to improve your performance and grow in your surf skills.
Stay with us in the Santa Cruz Surf House and enjoy the company of fellow surfers and our Good People Surf Crew. This unique Surf House has a nice variety of rooms and dorms with unique style based on surf legends. There are two cozy chill areas to hang out and and rest after your surf sessions and a huge garden with all amenities like a BBQ, fire pit, pizza oven and a swimming pool and much more.
