A few years ago, Nico took the people and beaches of the region around Aveiro into his heart and founded Slide Surfcamp in Northern Portugal. After having spent many years working fo a large surfcamp travel provider in France he turned his passion into a profession and now is his own boss. You will meet him in the water where he provides surf guiding and takes you to his favorite surf spots around. Other than that, Nico will spear no cost or effort to give you the perfect surf holiday experience, especially by providing the camp with his delicious food specialties every night.

If you take surf lessons, you will have the pleasure to meet Luis, our permanently employed surf instructor. The Portuguese happy nature is spreading good vibes and always has a joke on his lips. Having grown up on the beach closeby, he knows the waves and the locals around like the back of his hand. He will definitely get you on the board and is excited to share the stoke with you!

The herding dog joined the team shortly after the founding days of Slide surf camp and ever since has been a part that our surf school can never be imagined without. Nalu (Hawaiian for "wave") is the perfect surfer dog, bathes in the sea every day and loves to be stroked. If you are looking for someone to gaze into the distance with for hours, Nalu is your girl.
