FAQs

In general the age is between 20 and 40. But to be honest, age does not really matter. First of all you are never to old to try and second, everyone is a kid in the ocean while playing with the waves. We have single travelers, couples, groups of friends, families joining us and everyone is here to enjoy the surf and to feel part of our surf family.

Of course you can, you will not be the only one and you will be soon part of Oporto Surf Camp and feel at home.

In general the surf lessons are from Monday till Friday so the best is to arrive on Sunday but since the flights can be much cheaper on other days you can also arrive on any other day as long as we have availability for you. Feel free to send an email with possible dates and we will help you as soon as possible so your flight will not got more expensive.

We made the surf camp package 7 nights but that doesn’t mean you can not stay longer or shorter of course. We can be flexible in this, mostly we want you to be happy and give you the best holiday for you. If you stay extra nights you will also get a discount on these extra nights. And actually to improve your surf it’s really nice to stay longer than a week. 2 weeks for example!

At 10:00h we want to have the equipment prepared and we will look for the best surfspot of the day with our guests. We surf as much as possible. Until everyone is tired and hungry and then we will go for lunch, we love to take everyone to typical Portuguese lunch places. The prices are good. Around 13 euro for a soup, meal, drink and a coffee. And you will have energy again for another surf session. After a little siesta of course. If you want to lunch at the surf camp that is also possible of course. Sometimes the days and waves are just too nice to leave the beach and we order food to bring at the beach. In the evening we do several things, having a bbq or going out for diner, sometimes guests decide to cook a specialty of their country for everyone. We organise movie nights, game nights etc. And of course a drink at one of the bars and a dance together can also happen.

We have fiberglass shortboards for rent. Also some epoxy shortboards which are great fun too. If you are really used to your own board maybe it’s better to bring your own and let us know so we can give you a discount because you are bringing your own equipment. If you want to know if we have to right board for you just send an email with what you would like to rent and we can see if we have the perfect board for you here.

If you decide to bring your own equipment but still book the surf camp package we will give you a discount on the package.

You can still arrive at the surf camp or leave early. The best is than to choose the option of a transfer and then we make sure one of us is at the surf camp to welcome you, or we send you an introduction video, and give you a proper welcom the next morning. Let us know in advance, we have no 24/7 reception.

At this moment it’s not possible yet to pay by creditcard. In the village you will find 2 atm machines where you can take your money.
