"Great place close to the nature :)"

I spent a week of surf/yoga. Great atmosphere, the tents were very comfy, food was super good, some instructors were super good, other were ok but the general experience is great :)

The guys working there were very nice, sharing good vibes and love all the time

You need to be a bit open minded and feeling ok by living in a camping. you'll spend one of the best international surf camp in the nature.

(Quick info, the tents were not completely opaque so take something to hide your eyes)

"One week at the surfing camp"

I spent a week at the surfing camp. The instructors were really good and we had a good time surfing with all the other people at the camp. We also had the possibility to participate at the organized evening activities, such as quiz night, movie night, music jam.

100% recommended!

"First Glamping Experience "

It was our first Glamping experience. The tents were clean, the beds were very comfortable and we had access to clean bathrooms and toilets all the time. The surf lessons were good and the theory lesson from Jorge was very informative. We had a great time at the camp. We definitely recommend this camp if you want to give surfing a try.

Die Crew ist super und engagiert.

Das Aurfequipment war gut.

Es konnte schnell Fortschritte gemacht werden.

Die Waschräume vom Campingplatz werden 3 mal täglich gereinigt und sind ganz okay.

Es gibt immer eine vegetarische Variante zum Essen.

Surfen bei Alex hat Spaß gemacht.

"It was the funniest and most beautiful vacation for me. "

Jorge is the coolest person I’ve ever met. He got such different characters together, as instructors but also surfers. We were very different, from families with children to young people that get 18 one month ago. But everyone so helpful, carrying, funny and open, but also supportive. It was a familiar atmosphere. We had enough of variations for the breakfast, for the dinner they made gluten-free food as well and for vegetarians and vegans you can also get something. In opinion too much cabbage. But it was tasty! The surf lessons, the activities and the theory lessons were great, really! I was so sad to leave the camp and the people but I’ll do it again!

"Super nice Surfcamp"

The Crew, the location and the new people i met were super nice. You have your Surf lessons at a good surfing spot and a good program after, for example Capoeira or Salsa lesson. Additionally your have some freetime to chill at the beach or visit the city Porto.

"A fantastic week!"

I had a great time! The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable. The surfing and yoga was excellent, as were the additional activities such as the salsa night and pub quiz. I also met some amazing people which further enhanced my experience. Would definitely recommend, and hope to be back soon!

"Highlight of the Summer"

I woke up one morning in my tent thinking I had almost picked another surf camp, and the thought that I would've never known what I'd missed not coming to I Surf Portugal made me realize how lucky I was I actually shed a tear. You can tell from the minute you set foot in the camp how much love and care goes into running it, all with the highest level of professionalism. The team is amazing in every way, friendly and fun yet extremy reliable. The surf sessions cater for all levels (and kids), the instructions are attentive and give great insight into how surfing is done properly. You can partake in yoga classes tailored for sore surf muscles and can also sign up to sports massage. The location and accommodation are perfect and as advertised, the atmosphere with the lanterns and fairy lights is dreamy. The beach is within convenient walking distance so carrying your board won't tire you out before even hitting the waves. Breakfast and dinner are included and you can sign up for lunch boxes or go to the restaurant on the camp site. Evening entertainment and group activities are facilitated by the staff. I'm pretty sure I'll return and can only recommend!

"Honeymoon with I surf Portugal "

We came to spend a week of our honeymoon with I Surf Portugal . The idea was to learn new together and stay in nature, next to the ocean . The experience went beyond our expectations : (1) the atmosphere at the camp was incredible - peace , fun , respect to each other and nature . The crew was super nice ( every single team member !!), other guests were also people of our values , we made new friends !! (2) learnings - we learned a lot ! At any weather conditions we had good quality lessons , and both progressed . It’s great to learn how to read the ocean. The instructors were giving good tips and really cared for everyone’s progress (3) the tents are super comfortable, spacious ! (4) close to the beach (5) very safe ! (6) delicious food always !

Overall , we are really greatfull for having i Surf Portugal hosting us and want to come back ! Will be a valuable family tradition :)

"10 from 10 very well put together "

All instructors (surfing and yoga) were very good and accessible. I had surfed a little bit before and learned new things every day. The camp was otherwise well put together. Everything flowed and worked well. I recommend highly.

"La régalade "

Le surf camp de Jorge est un petit îlot à part dans un camping qui paye pas de mine au premier abord mais qui réunit un certain nombre de qualité quand on le découvre...

D abord le surf camp est vraiment joli avec une équipe de choix agréable et souriante.

On y mange bien surtout au petit déj ou on a vraiment du choix.

Les logements sont supers et sous une pinède !!!

Petit lounge extérieur avec feu tous les soirs et activités en tout genre proposées chaque jour pour les grands et les petits (très bon lieu pour les enfants).

Atmosphère calme, amicale et de confiance.

Sanitaires propres et à proximités.

Et le vrai plus : accès à la plage depuis le camping et matériel de surf à disposition !

Autre plus, le camping est au milieu de nul part et il y a peu de monde voir presque personne 🙏 et aucune autre école de surf aux environs ! A vous les vagues !

Merci pour tout ! 🌊🌈

"Fantastische surf vakantie"

Mooi avontuur met zeer goede herinneringen en ontzettend leuk voor kinderen. De instructeurs waren geweldig! We werden echt groep met zijn allen en hebben met pijn in het hart afscheid genomen.

"Very satisfied newbie "

This is the most amazing experience created by the perfect nature, surrounding and incredible staff and Co-travellers. A memory for life! Jorge and his crew had set up a perfect scheme for the week, and it had the perfect blend of professionalism and relaxed joyfulness. Both activity wise as atmosphere and spirit wise.

Das Camp hat eine sehr schöne Lage direkt am Strand auf einem Campingplatz. Den Strand hat man quasi nur für sich. Die Tipis sind geräumig und gemütlich. Es ist sehr ruhig zum Entspannen.

"A wonderful week! "

We had such an amazing time at the camp. We met so many amazing people and the volunteers couldn’t have been nicer! The beach was very close by which was very convenient and it was great to be able to take boards and wetsuits out whenever you felt like a surf! Thanks again from Ireland, Heather and Sarah!

"Unforgettable experience"

The staff, especially Jorge is really friendly. It‘s the perfect mixture between meeting inspiring people, being active and relaxing in nature. Beautiful place!

These were definitely some of the best vacations I’ve ever did! Not only had I the chance to learn how to surf from scratch on, I also met incredible people from all over the world. The instructors and every person working there was so friendly and it was for sure a fun time (I miss it already). In less than one week I was able to improve my surf skills drastically (from not being able to stand up to being able to sometimes catching bigger waves which weren’t broken yet).

Also in the evenings there’s always something going on. Either a program from the camp or people just having fun at the camp fire.

I highly recommend visiting this amazing camp! :)

greetings from Switzerland :)

"Fantastic "

We had an amazing experience at I surf Portugal camp. The tents were very cozy, kitchen area and facilities were great. We could feel the warm and friendly atmosphere immediately thanks to Jorge and his team. A lot of activities during the week and everything was very well organised - surf lessons, salsa, yoga, skateboards, and of course cozy evenings near the fireplace every day. It was one of the best vacations ever where we could run away from routine and work life and enjoy surfing, beach, good weather and amazing company.And doesn’t matter if you are a good surfer or just want to try for the first time, the amazing team of instructors is there to help you and coach you with a very individual approach. Definitely worth to go! We would recommend this place for sure for everyone, whether you are a couple, or friends, or a family with children or a sole traveler - everyone could find their own inspiration in the camp and feel welcome.

"Great vide, well instructed surflessons. "

Great vibe, well instructed surflessons. Great for kids and parents to have separate surflessons, to watch and to have focus on yourself. Great crew, well organised, friendly and active. The video afterwards is great to see. Nice clear sea (cold, but good material) Very great to stay in tents and in a campcommunity with great group of international people. Nice to have combination with singles and families.

Mogelijkheid om te leren surfen; bevlogen surfinstructeurs; combinatie surfen en yoga; het strand is dichtbij, waardoor je niet ver met het surfboard hoeft te slepen; internationaal mensen leren kennen; hele grote en nette tipi-tenten; warme douches (douchemuntjes zijn niet nodig); eten is prima verzorgd; elke avond kampvuur.

The camp is small and this means it feels personal. The staff are friendly on camp, and the surf lessons are very good. The food is healthy and tasty.

"Surcamp 14-21 July 2018"

Povoa de Varzim is a lovely place. Lots of small resteraunts where you can have tasty portugese food for low money. It is very easy to reach from the airport of Porto. It is the last station of the Metro B. My accomodation was Reve D Or which is run by a nice french guy. The hotel had a small Garden which we could use to have a small party on our last day. There is fridge available as well.

"Active holidays in Portugal."

This was my first time surfing, so I honestly did not know what to expect. However, it was one of my more memorable vacations so far. After 2 hours of surfing lessons and 2 hours of practicing, you will have more than enough activities for a day. After 8 days you will not become surfing experts, but you will learn enough to surf by yourself. Povoa de Varzim is a nice town on the seashore with a good transportation to the Porto (45 min by "metro"). It is quiet during the low season but I was assured it gets busy during summer. It has nice clubs, restaurants and bars which are reasonably priced. The guys at surf camp are cool and professional, and they will look at you more like to a friend than a client. Jorge, Conor, and Clement - thank you for these memorable moments and hope to see you again.
