Surfing

Your accommodation is close to Ribeira D’Ilhas beach, Ericeira, World Surf Reserve which is one of the best surf spots in Europe. Ericeira, as a world surfing reserve, has a wide variety of surfing spots with different conditions to suit all levels. For beginners and intermediates there are daily surf classes available to help you learn in safety.

The surfing lessons are designed for maximum 4 persons per instructor and will be organized according to your surfing level, so the instructors will be able to personalize each lesson and choose your daily surfing spot, surfing conditions, and group goals.

La Casa Atlantica's team will help you visualize and understand the correct techniques for each single maneuver. They will also explain to you the adjustments required to your surfing technique, style, and positioning. It's the best way to show you how to improve your surfing.

The other technique that will help you learn fast is training with Carver skateboards. The purpose is to build your muscle memory that can be translated to your next surfing session. Since a small fraction of your time surfing will be up on your feet riding waves on a surfboard, skating will allow you for more board time, practicing surfing maneuvers, improving your surfing techniques and balance, as well as building your strength endurance.

This practice on the land translates into the same awareness and natural response during surfing so don’t be surprised if the next time you go surfing, you will find that your wave riding skill has become better.

Yoga

Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word union or oneness. La Casa Atlantica hope to give you a sense of community through practicing yoga with them, while relaxing and restoring your energy.

Kinesiology treatment

Kinesiology literally means the study of movement. George Goodheart, a recognised chiropractor, began to explore muscle monitoring technique in the 60’s. He discovered how major muscle groups corresponded to different organs and linked this to the Chinese meridian system.

The effectiveness of this new science is demonstrated by the fact many top athletes, such as Lionel Messi use kinesiology. Kinesiology accesses the subconscious mind through gentle and non-evasive muscle monitoring techniques, to gain information about the body’s current state to help restore mind, body, and spirit to optimum balance.
