He trained young pro surfers to compete at the highest level and travelled to 4 continents to surf all kind of waves.

Location
The surf camp is located in Maceda, right beside the nature pine tree forest and close to beautiful uncrowded beaches. It is along a forested road on both sides that we come to this beach, where you can still find peace and quiet even in summer. A special place that can combines sea and countryside. Once you arrive to the beach, the view is amazing! Sea ahead and pine forest behind. All of this beauty just 30 kilometers from Porto.
São Pedro de Maceda beach is 11 kilometers from the center of Ovar, a municipality that offers other beaches worth visiting: Esmoriz, Cortegaça, Furadouro where you can find typical portuguese restaurants, beach cafés, bars and pubs. The cities of Aveiro and Espinho are also close.
After surf and if you are up to, do a picnic in the many shadows you will find in the forest area, take a bike ride through the Ovar bike paths and visit Buçaquinho Environmental Park.
