Facilities

If you want to travel with like-minded people, learn more about yourself and your possibilities, wish to connect with other culture, or have stress in your life and need to rest and be pampered, this surf camp is for you.

No matter if you are totally new to the world of yoga or already an experienced yogi or yogini, the loving and professional yoga teacher will always make sure you get the most out of the classes. From beginners to advanced levels, the instructors will make sure you are safe on the mat and will guide you into amazing inner journeys.

Yoga helps to strengthen the key physical points to the surfing practice, such as arms, legs, back, and wrists. It minimizes the risk of injuries and improves the recovery time after a surf session. By learning to know and accept your body, you'll improve your surf skills and bring your body feeling to a whole other level. By calming down the mind, you will be more focused and more concentrated in the water.

This surf camp will include Hatha yoga sessions, an energizing and revitalizing yoga to strengthen and tone your body structure and posture. You will also deepen your Yin yoga to reach the fasciae structures, connective tissues, and joints. During your stay, the yoga classes will have basic and varied sequences.

This surf camp takes place in Ericeira, Portugal. Early in the morning, the misty veil slowly rains over the Portuguese Atlantic Coast and the first rays of sunlight fall warmly over the Surf Riders & CO - Surf Camp, dipping the flowers and palm trees in the garden into a light morning blush. The chirping of the little birds is the only noise you hear. Nestled among the rolling fields of lush green vegetation, stands the villas of the guesthouse Surf Riders & CO - Surf Camp, overlooking the region of Ericeira. Here, the world is still in order. Slowly, the clear air mixes with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Not only the Golden Heritage itself, but also its outdoor pool, the lovingly landscaped garden, and the countless chill-out and withdraw options leave nothing to be desired. Also, the surrounding area offers a lot.

For city lovers and explorers, the center of the beautiful city Ericeira (the first world surf reserve in Europe and second in the world and part of the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) world tour) and its many stunning beaches are within walking distance. For those who like to explore more of the Portuguese Atlantic Coast, the historical cities such as Óbidos, Sintra, Lisbon, Peniche, and Fatima are very close too. The whole coastline invites water sports enthusiasts to go surfing, sailing, diving, and canoeing, while land lovers come with hiking, golfing, biking, and many more activities at their expense.

Every morning, the cook will serve you a healthy breakfast with organic fruit and juices, homemade granola muesli, and a choice of well-chosen ingredients for a rich lunch pack. A healthy and balanced as well as tasty diet which gives you strength for your surf sessions is the number one priority. In the evening, the kitchens in each villa invite you to cook. For those who prefer eating out, Surf Riders Ericeira offers a variety of restaurants which is either traditional Portuguese cuisine or international dishes.
