A week at Surf Cascais 🏡

In order to have the full Surf Camp experience, we always recommend our classic package: the 7 nights Surf School pack. This means a week in Cascais with plenty of surfing, yoga, family dinners, sunsets, new friendships and lots of fun 🤩

We will dig a little bit deeper and tell you exactly what to expect during that excited week with us!

Arrival day

There is no specific arrival day at our Surf Camp, however we recommend guests to arrive over the weekend (Saturday or Sunday). This makes everyone to have a similar experience, build up friendships in the same pace and have the video / photo coaching at the middle of the surfing holidays. Wednesday is a fix day for the video coaching, so it is always useful to have it in the middle of your package, allowing you to have some surf sessions before but also practice what you have learned in the video / photo coaching afterwards.

The check-in process is almost 100% online, making it much easier and faster when you arrive. We just have to show you the Villa / House, tell you some important information and show you the Surf Lessons & Activities schedule (the most important item in the dinning room 🤓).

If you arrive on Sunday, it's also the day of our healthy / vegetarian dinner. You can let us know if you have any food allergy and we will make sure you can enjoy a first tasty dinner meeting new people and getting the first impressions of your surf week.

Monday

Normally Monday is the 1st day of surfing for most of the guests. The surf lessons are scheduled to start the day after arrival and the time & place will depend on the best conditions. We always leave the Surf Villa 40min before the time of the lessons, so we can start at the precise time at the beach :) In the sand we split the big group into smaller groups according to the students levels and adapt the lesson to each personal group (max 5 students per instructor). In the summer we can have up to 25 students per session, this means 5 smaller groups.

Food is the first thing that comes to your mind after being 2 intense hours in the water. Either you love cooking (we have a fully equipped kitchen that you can use) or simply order your favorite international dish, we all gather at the table eating and sharing the first impressions of the week and the surf session.

The first yoga session is normally planned to happen on the 2nd day after arrival, however some guests have it on the first day or everyday (Surf & Yoga packs).

After that, guests have the rest of the day to chill, do some sightseeing in Cascais or Sintra, or simply have a great nap after an early session. If you choose the Full Surf Pack, you need to get ready for another session 🤩

Tuesday

The second day is when you either wake up super psyched to go surfing or your muscles start questioning what are you doing with your body.

Either way, you will be joining your 2nd day of surfing and it's time to figure out how its actually done and find the rhythm.

Depending on the time of the surfing (can start from 7h00 until 13h00) you can have your first yoga lesson straight away or by the end of the day.

In the evening, we will serve our second delicious meal of the week, this time the ''International dinner''. Examples of the dishes can be: spicy ''fajitas'' from Mexico, a juicy Italian pasta, a tasty shakshuka from Middle east, American Burgers, etc. Dinners are always served at 20h00 and cooked by our chef Anikó from Hungary 👩🏼‍🍳.

Wednesday

We have arrived at the middle of your surfing week, sad? Don't be, still plenty of surfing to come and new friends to make 😍

This is a very important day and you know why. By now you should have catch up your surfing (if you surfed before) or learn the basics in order to make the most of the video / photo coaching. There is no better way than to watch yourself surfing to correct mistakes, improve details and get motivated to do better at the next sessions!

There is no dinner scheduled for this day, so it's a great time to explore Cascais in the evening and maybe grab something to eat 😋

Thursday

Depending on the time of the surf lessons, you can start your Thursday with a relaxing yoga session. This is the best way to stretch your sore muscles after so much surfing and get the flow going to your 4th surfing day.

After the surf session and some food, your body will be bagging for some rest. Nothing better than enjoying our relaxing garden and have a sunny nap by the pool.

Once the sun starts to fade a bit (or not), we see the bar getting into action. Everybody knows its BBQ day and nothing better than having a few beers by the pool to warm up the evening. A couple of showers and flower shirts after, we have our iconic event of the week, where everyone fully breaks the ice and make friendships of a lifetime. At 23h00 sharp, the big boss kicks everyone out and its time to hit Cascais and show your dance moves in the crazy Bucanero bar.

Friday

Depending on how late your night was, Friday's are usually slower days 😅 We understand your energy levels are quite low by now, so a later surf lesson is normally mandatory.

After some cold ocean water and a couple of falls, you will feel much better and ready to enjoy another day in Cascais. Usually we finish the week with a sunset tour, previously called ''Kiko Tours''. We visit one of the iconic sightseeings around the Villa (Boca do Inferno, Cabo Raso, Abano beach, Cabo da Roca, Peninche, etc.) and have a relax drink with a view over a beautiful sunset.

Saturday

Time flies when you are having fun! This is a classic sentence for those who suddenly are in the last day of their holidays without realizing it. After 5 surfing days, a few dinners, a long BBQ and chasing beautiful sunsets, its time to enjoy your last day in paradise. By now you are pretty much a pro surfer and will enjoy your final session with ease and having the most fun :) Its also time to share all your IG details or exchange numbers with your new friends and start talking about your next Surf Cascais trip!

Sunday

Who said Saturday was your final surfing day? If you have a late flight, we are happy to save your stuff in the office and book you an extra morning surf session! You can take a nice warm shower afterwards and use the house facilities for as long as you want :)

Before you leave we are happy to hear you feedback and any suggestion you might have in order to improve the Surf Cascais experience 🙏🏼 The ultime goal is to enter has strangers and leave has friends!
