It’s not your standard surf camp. It’s a commitment to passion.

Nazaré is the home of giants, steeped in tradition and a deep connection to the ocean. Our goal is to immerse you in this culture as well as afford you the blessing of riding one of the world’s most exclusive waves.

WHY WE SURF

Riding the wave of Nazare requires every move to be intentional and every sense honed in the moment. We surf for the opportunity to be present in one of the world’s most challenging environments where the risk is just as tremendous as the reward.

What to Expect.

Meet and train with the world’s best team in big wave surfing. They’re born and raised Nazare and know exactly what it takes to ride the wave. Training will consist of equipment familiarity, dry instruction, and wet practicals. Skill levels will be evaluated and surfers will be placed in appropriate waters.

You’ll also receive world class video footage of your sessions with one of the best videographers in the business whose work can be found on HBO’s ‘100 Foot Wave’.

RecoveryExplore +

Recovery is critical, especially when you're riding some of the world's biggest waves, so we've taken care of things at the Villa. You'll have access to expert-rated recovery tools, a wood-fired sauna, cold plunge, and pool to keep things moving how they should.

We also recognize nature's best road to recovery as a great meal and quality rest, so we hired a professional chef to prepare your breakfasts and dinners with an athlete's nutrition in mind. However, we know how quickly hunger can strike, so we've stocked the Villa with ready-to-eat and easy-to-prepare food for your grazing convenience.

PortugalExplore +

Porto · Livraria Lello, celebrated for its ornate wooden staircase and historic interiors.

Between sessions, explore Portugal's food, architecture and culture—from Lisbon’s historic neighborhoods to Porto’s riverfront and lesser-known coastal villages. Excursions are planned around the ocean schedule and available time.

Long-distance excursions, including Porto, depend on itinerary feasibility and conditions; specific trips will be confirmed before booking.
