Program
Refine your skills and boost your confidence
This performance surf program is designed to take your surfing to the next level - whether you're aiming to improve your maneuvers, paddle with power, or raise your wave scores. Throughout the week, you'll work with experienced coaches who specialize in technical skill development and performance training. The focus is on enhancing your control, stability, and creativity on the wave while building the confidence to push your limits.
The program includes daily surf sessions with targeted exercises to refine your maneuvers, along with land-based drills that develop strength, balance, and coordination. You’ll also learn how to read waves more effectively, choose the best lines, and improve your scoring potential.
Video analysis plays a key role in this journey. By recording and reviewing your sessions, you’ll gain valuable insights into your technique, identify areas for improvement, and see your progress in real time. The coaches will guide you through personalized feedback to help you execute maneuvers with greater precision and style. With small group sizes, personalized attention, and the stunning backdrop of Ericeira’s iconic surf spots, this week is all about unlocking your full surfing potential. Come challenge yourself, elevate your skills, and surf with renewed confidence. Nana House is ready to support your journey to becoming a more powerful, confident, and skillful surfer.
Complementing your surfing practice, you'll enjoy yoga or functional training sessions focused on flexibility, strength, and mental focus to support your journey. Functional training sessions focus on building functional strength, especially in your core, paddling muscles, and legs, helping you generate more power and control on your board. Improved flexibility from yoga increases your range of motion, allowing for smoother maneuvers and reducing the risk of injury.
The Vinyasa flows are intuitive and immersive, guided by sound, scent, and sensation, offering space for all levels to explore movement in a way that feels deeply personal. It’s a chance to reconnect with your body, your breath, and your inner compass. With breathwork and meditation woven throughout, each practice becomes a space to calm the mind, improve focus, and develop breath control - key elements for maintaining composure and energy during demanding sessions.
Together, these practices support mental clarity, reduce tension, and enhance your overall resilience in the water. By integrating strength, flexibility, and mindful techniques, you'll be better prepared to perform at your highest level and enjoy surfing with more confidence and ease.

Guilherme Nunes
Guilherme had his first contact with surfing at the age of 7 in the coastal town of São Pedro do Estoril, Portugal, and it quickly became his way of life.

Alina
Alina’s love for the ocean began in childhood, inspired by her father’s bodyboarding in the Atlantic. Her surfing journey took off at age 19 in France, where she mostly taught kids and teens during semester breaks. After seasons spent at the Atlantic, she traveled to Indonesia and fell in love with the tropical waves and local culture. For years, she has been living between the Indian Ocean and the Austrian Alps. Now back in Portugal, Alina guides experienced surfers, helping them discover new waves and deepen their connection to the sea.
