Roxy Women's Advanced Surf Camp

WHO'S THE WEEK FOR?

If you’d like to make serious improvements to your surfing skills and can already pop up and ride left and right on unbroken waves without being guided, this course is for you! Aimed more at intermediate surfers who've been on a number of surf holidays or honed their skills at home, after an initial assessment we'll build a personalized plan that suits which ever level you're at and the specific skills you need to learn.

EXPERT TUITION

Your dedicated coach will create a tailored plan for the week based on your current skills and goals. The theory, forecasting, equipment and safety lessons combined with hours of practice time in the water will have you surfing better, for longer with icreased confidance.

CONDITIONS & WAVES

Portugal’s spring and autumn bring prime surfing conditions with clean waves, low wind, and quiet beaches. Tiny Whale is perfectly located to take advantage of swell from the Gulf of Cádiz on the south coast and from the North Atlantic Ocean on the west. We will monitor the conditions with you each day aiming for the clean, waist to chest high waves and making sure you experience the best waves possible on your course.

"UNFORGETTABLE, PRICELESS WEEK!"

“This was the best surf training I ever had in my 8 years of surfing. Inês has a lot of tips and tricks, pushes you and makes you feel safe. Prepare to put in the work, arrive fit and you’ll profit from her training. I absolutely recommend this Package for girls who already feel comfortable paddling for waves. Thanks Tiny Whale!” — Philine, 2017

TYPICAL DAY

“Having studied the forecast the night before with Seb, we knew the waves would be perfect around lunchtime at the beach we’d chosen. After a healthy breakfast we went through a positioning and balance theory session and tried out techniques on skateboards then we headed out for the beach. Our spot was about half an hour’s drive away. When we arrived Seb took us through goals for the day then we were out on our boards practicing whilst she took video footage of our session. The waves were just the right size to practice what we had learnt so far, feeling more in control was exhilarating! Back at the lodge Inês took us through the afternoon’s footage, explaining each technical aspect of our session. Then we chilled and the day wrapped up relaxing around the fire after a well-deserved two course dinner."
