Skill levels
This camp is open to all-level surfers - beginners, intermediates and advanced surfers. Once at the beach, the instructors divide the class into smaller groups accordingly. The only point worth mentioning with this is that, for the surfers that are more on the advanced level, the lesson for them will be dependent on the surfing conditions (there needs to exist "surfable green waves" in order for the instructors to teach the advanced group to be able to give them a chance to work on their technique and avoid disappointing their expectations).
Instructors
Nuno Sequeira
Nuno started more seriously on bodyboarding since he was 15, in which he became Vice Champion of the University National Championship in 1998 along with having a degree in European Studies. Despite changing his bodyboard for a surfboard on a few occasions, the final change came only in 1999. At the same time, Nuno returned to the university and to the area that always fascinated him, sports. Today, he is one of the few academically skilled professionals in surfing: graduated in Sports Sciences with specialization in Surfing by the Faculty of Human Movement.
Bruno Matos
Bruno was born in Lisbon, in the year of 1984, but moved to Caparica at early age where he lived all his life until now. He started with boogie boarding at 7 years old and started surfing at 17 which makes already 13 years standing tall on a surfboard. Bruno is completely passionate about sports and activities connected to the ocean. His hobbies, besides surfing when he's not teaching, are diving, skateboarding, and spearfishing. He also travels, searching for new places to go surfing. He went surfing in Brazil, South Africa, Cape Verde, France, Spain, Indonesia, and Azores.
Location
During the surf camp, you will be staying at Surf Lisbon - Surf House located in the charming beach town of Caxias. Within a short walking distance, you have access to local restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, pharmacies, ATMs, grocery stores, etc. If you want to bring your skateboard, the area also has an amazing skate park close to the Surf House. The train station is only a 4-minute walk and, from there, you can get to the center of Lisbon with a 15-minute ride.
The city of Lisbon
The city of Lisbon, Portugal, is the perfect destination for a complete and intense journey. You have the chance to enjoy and relax on the sandy beaches, practice water sports, and discover astonishing, protected landscapes. It is the only European capital with golden beaches and waves for surfing, only 10 minutes away from the city center. The capital of Portugal, Lisbon, is a historical city enlightened by the sun almost all year round.
Cascais
Cascais is a natural playground for adults and children of all ages. This fishing village is charming. It has a small marina, some great hotels, shops, and white sandy beaches and coves. The coast road from Cascais to Guincho Beach is about five kilometers long. It has some of the best fish restaurants in Portugal.
The town of Estoril is a five-minute drive from Cascais and has a huge casino if you are feeling lucky! Close by, is the most western point of Europe, Cabo da Roca, with a rugged coastline, and spectacular sea views scenery.
Caxias
The proud local village! Located only 10 minutes away from Lisbon city center and 15 minutes from Cascais. It´s a village guarded by two ancient fortresses, with a seafront, two white sandy beaches, and calm waters (surfing is possible in the wintertime). Today it prevails as a cultural and landscape complex that grew over the property of the Royal family in Oeiras.
Emanating the sophisticated social life of the 18th Century, Quinta Real de Caxias is about 200 meters from the beach and Caxias train station. The lush vegetation characterizes this privileged urban environment. Caxias Station itself is surrounded by one of the gardens and is facing the ocean and the beach.
The city of surf: Costa da Caparica
Costa da Caparica has a stunning 26-kilometer coastline of glorious sandy beaches. With powerful Atlantic waves and beautiful natural scenery. It extends along the western side of the Setubal Peninsula but is right in front of Lisbon city center. Only the Tejo river separates both cities. Much of the southern Costa da Caparica coastline lies within the “Arriba Fóssil”. This nature reserve has protected the fossil-rich cliffs coastline from any major development.
The coastline faces the might of the Atlantic Ocean, and onto the wide, sandy beaches powerful waves break, making it ideal for surfing and kitesurfing. From these beaches, fishermen employ traditional Xávega fishing techniques (by hauling the nets onto the beach) and with catches ladened with sardines and lots of other fish species.
This surf camp takes place in Lisbon, Portugal. Lisbon is the only European capital with golden beaches. It has an excellent climate and perfect waves for every surfing level all year round. The surf lessons will take place between Lisbon/Cascais sea line and Costa da Caparica.
