DO I FIT IN
Everybody is welcome, the only requirement is that you do have some sort of background with surfing, you have already done a lesson once in your life and you have some basic knowledge about ocean safety and surfing.
This trip is meant for any adult surfer who is at the beginner to intermediate level.
In the coaching we will teach fundamental basics like the pop up, line up control and take off.
But also we will talk about how to surf the green waves, make your first turns and possible some nice cross steps for the long boarders.
Check out the video of our last intermediate trip!
Surf Trip program
For the coaching sessions, we made sure to accommodate every level:
With the wide variety of waves we will always be able to find some conditions that suit the group.
The coaching includes:
Daily surf coaching
When it comes to coaching we offer the full package! We are aiming to coach you in the line up, as well as film your waves from the beach! Every day we will find a wave, help you catch the best waves, and do the video analysis afterwards. The combination of someone helping you in the line up, and seeing yourself surf on video afterwards is very accurate for your progression. At the end of the trip you will receive all your surf video’s in your mailbox!
Daily video analysis
When it comes to coaching, we offer the full package! We are aiming to coach you in the line-up, as well as have another coach film your waves from the beach! Every day we will find a wave, help you catch the best waves, and do the video analysis afterwards. The combination of someone helping you in the line-up, and seeing yourself surf on video afterwards, is very accurate for your progression. At the end of the trip, you will receive all your surf video’s in your mailbox!
Daily 1-on-1 coaching
On the first and the last day you will have 1-on-1 moments with Daan Groeneveld, you’ll set personal goals for the trip and more! We will all be spending the week together, so don’t feel shy to ask Daan (the coach) any question about surfing you’ve got!
Smoothstar Technique clinic
In the surf analysis we will detect some hiccups in your surfing, then we grab the smoothstar surf skate to improve those on land. In the 1-on-1 moments, we will film your skills. You’ll be given drills to practice that will accurately make you surf better.
Also we’ll do group simulation training to make you understand surf technique and grow muscle memory to use in the water.
Apnea Training
Big wave hold downs won’t be a problem for you anymore! We’ll do apnea training in the pool for those that are interested. Learn to calm yourself while being underwater and have a correct mindset for when the waves get bigger!
Daan is a AIDA 2 freediver and will help you through this safely.
Self coaching
In one week of surfing you can show us what you got, we can give you feedback and you can implement it, but there’s limits to how much you can progress in one week. That’s why part of our surf coaching is teaching you how to analyse surf technique so that in the months after you can help yourself progress. We are always happy to hear from students that the months after the coaching week they progressed their surfing more than ever before!

Transport
RENT YOUR OWN CAR! In the past we used to rent big vans for everyone ect, but this leads to complications. In the past years we decided to make groups of 3 students that rent a car from lisbon airport, car rental is extremely cheap there. The benefit is that you are free to drive wherever with your group and we have a good amount of cars to explore the coast! You can rent a car for only €20,- per person or something so this is in every way the best deal!
We keep our pricing low!
While prices go up rapidly and some coaching weeks shoot up to €1300+ a week, we have decided to keep pricing at an affordable price for the coming years. This is simply because I myself enjoy this week a lot, and I believe a coaching week that’s very expensive puts a lot of pressure on having to perform ect. Most important thing to me is that it’s mainly a super fun holiday for everyone, not one where we have all this pressure to perform, I strongly believe with this mindset you will automatically perform better in the water aswell! But don’t let the price of our trips fool you, we always make effort to give you high quality coaching, clear technique analysis, clear surf drills and daily surf events. If you have any questions you can send us an email or call to +31611276596
Kind regards,
Daan
