Mornings:
Your day will start with a hearty, healthy breakfast at the surf house, fueling you for a day full of activity. The surf house will have a selection of fresh fruits, cereals, yogurt, bread, and other Portuguese delicacies to ensure you get a balanced and nutritious start to your day.
Following breakfast, get ready for the surf lesson. You'll have a briefing with the experienced instructors, followed by a warm-up, dry-land practice, and ocean observation before getting into the water. Two rounds of surfing will be interspersed with on-land coaching feedback, ensuring you get the most out of your lesson.
Afternoons:
After an exciting morning in the water, you'll return to the surf house for some well-earned rest and lunch. This is your free time, so you might choose to relax by the swimming pool, venture into the Cascais of Lisbon for sightseeing, or perhaps visit a nearby beach for a more relaxed dip in the ocean.
Late afternoons:
In the late afternoon, you may choose to participate in other activities provided. This could include a guided visit to a local point of interest, sea cliff climbing in the beautiful natural surroundings, or a second surf session for those who can't get enough of the waves!
Evenings:
As the sun starts to set, join for a poolside happy hour, the perfect time to unwind and share stories with your fellow surf campers. Following this, there will be a communal dinner, which, once a week, will be a BBQ party!
Nights:
Nights at Roots Surf Camp are all about relaxation and connection. You can choose to have a quiet night in, chat with new friends, or explore the vibrant nightlife of Cascais and Lisbon.
The goal at Roots Surf Camp is to provide a well-rounded experience that combines surf, culture, relaxation, and fun. Each day offers a mix of structured activities and free time, allowing you to personalize your experience and make the most of all that Roots Surf Camp and the wonderful region of Cascais, Lisbon have to offer.
