Essentially built with organic and sustainable materials, part of the furniture was made using recycled parts and parts of Conde Surf Camp's previous business. The house is equipped with boards and suits that you can use for your free surf sessions (two surf spots are a five-minute walk away) and has a bedroom with eight comfortable ‘capsule beds’ (four are convertible to two double beds), all with individual curtains, lamps, and electric sockets, a double bathroom, and a cozy living room with sofas, smart TV, fast internet, and fully equipped kitchenette. There are also two peculiar outdoor spaces, one with a barbecue, perfect for relaxing.
Programma
At each camp, Conde Surf Camp will divide surfers into two groups according to their experience or skills: beginner and intermediate.
Beginner program goals
- Learn the basics of positioning and timing
- Catch small waves and get good or satisfactory pop-up technique
- Improve paddling or paddle-out techniques to be - independent
Intermediate program goals
- Improve on the basics
- Take off and button turn on - green waves
You will start each surf week with a specific theory or brief class for each level in which some important knowledge will be shared to help improve your performance in the ocean: equipment, understanding and reading forecast, analysis of conditions, etiquette, and "rules", safety positioning and strategies. The five surf lessons for each level will preferably be in the morning starting at 10:30 a.m. Considering the chosen location and conditions or tides there may be adjustments. The classes last two hours.
The camp is small and they will always try to keep each group and each class small for better learning. It will be easier to follow your evolution curve and identify the main aspects to improve. Classes for both groups will not always coincide in location and time. They will always try to have the best possible conditions for each group. They will try whenever possible to have free afternoons so you can free surf, practice, and consolidate your skills. The plan for each day (class start time and surf spot location) will be announced the day before at 7:00 p.m.
As an extra, they organize SUP tours in Rio Ave - (super recommended).
Instructeurs
Francisco Conde
Raised on these waters, Francisco has been surfing for more than 30 years and is still on it. He likes to share his experiences. He used to paddle out in different boards and stances but his favorite stance is dropknee.
Locatie
The camp will take place in Vila do Conde, Norte Region, Portugal. The beautiful old town of Vila do Conde, 20 kilometers north of Porto, is a must in the region. Known for its participation in the Portuguese discoveries (shipbuilders and navigators or sailors) wonderful beaches and neighborhoods (historic center or riverside and bathing), gastronomy - very fresh fish and conventual sweets and for having been ‘home’ and inspiration for famous artists and writers or poets over time.
When you are not surfing, you will always have a magnificent beach at the end of the street to enjoy, bars and restaurants or movida at a short walk distance, and of course, a whole old and beautiful town to explore. If you like to walk you will have magnificent walkways for your walks, especially those located south of the city, in the ornithological reserve of Mindelo - ROM.
