Surfing / Bodyboarding

Set on a peninsula on Portugal’s Atlantic Coast, Peniche and Baleal are renowned across Europe for consistent and clean waves. With over 20 breaks along the 15 kilometre stretch of coastline, the area offers exceptional surfing conditions all year round suiting all abilities from beginner to professional. Our eco-camp is conveniently located less than a 20 minute drive to the world famous surf breaks of Peniche and Baleal, providing easy access to the beach but located in the peaceful countryside away from the hustle and bussle of the surf towns.

We offer instruction for all surfers and bodyboarders from beginners to advanced, with lessons individually tailored to ability. Beginners are taught surfing and boarding basics including how to be safe in the waves. More experienced surfers and boarders are given hints and tricks for paddling and more advanced manoeuvres such as ‘cut-backs’ through in-water guidance by our experienced instructors. We offer transport to and from the campsite to take you to the perfect waves in the area.

All lessons include the full range of equipment. All equipment is of the highest specification with a wide range of boards and high quality wetsuits in all sizes for men, women and children. All instructors are certified by the Portuguese Federation of Surfing.
