Surf School
Surf Schools
We have surf lessons for all ages, levels and nationalities. From people that never saw a surfboard or the sea, to those that already have previous experience of surfing but still don't feel comfortable with it and those who have been surfing for years and want to improve their technique.
You are going to have the opportunity to learn with our instructors, who have many years of experience.
You will be using the best equipment on the market, in particular Rip Curl wetsuits and surfboards suitable for your surf level.
Surf School Functioning
This school is intended for the student who wants to dedicate his/her day exclusively to surfing, therefore he/she will have two surf sessions per day. This school functions 7 days a week, including weekends.
We have surf courses starting everyday, therefore the student may start classes any day of the week.
We separate the students by surf level: beginners are never in the same waves as the intermediates and advanced and vice versa.
A class schedule is provided the day before but normally the meeting for classes is at 9am.
Class Program
BEGINNERSYou‘ll be given a surfboard and wetsuit best suited to you. Your classes include all the basics, from learning how to look after a wetsuit and laying on a board, to surfing the green section of the wave. Then, according to your development, you may change to the ADVANCE group and learn other techniques. |
ADVANCEDTo be in this group you don't need to be world champion. You just need to know the basics. We developed this group because many people came to us and had surfed before. If you are one of these you don't have to go through all the basics again. We created the ADVANCED GROUP for you. |
Private Class
This is a two hour class where the surf instructor focuses only on one student, or a small group of students (with a maximum of three students).
The meeting point for the surf classes is the Peniche Surf Camp Reception.
The surf instructor will carry out a diagnosis of the student's surf level and will try, through his teaching methods, to ensure the fastest possible development of the student.
Surfboards and Wetsuits
Peniche Surf Camp is proud of our large variety of surfboards. We have more than 150 boards to choose from, in all shapes and sizes.
This means that you will have the opportunity not only to surf with the right surfboard for your level but also you will have opportunity to try other types of surfboards.
Video Sessions
Twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the classes get filmed and we organize a video session in the surf camp, usually followed by a barbecue.
In the video session you get to see yourself surfing, which is the best way for you to understand where you can improve.
