TSE – The Surf Experience is a family affair surf camp and staying at our new surf mansion is a perfect chance to participate in the surf culture on all levels.

YOGA

Relax and stretch

Inhale, exhale and activate your muscles before surfing or join one of our classes after the surf to relax and stretch your body.

Surf Massage

Relax your muscles

Surfers take a lot of pounding that by the end of a day in the water, leaves them with tight, sore muscles. Tense muscles can have a domino effect, spreading through the entire body and affecting nerves, muscles, and bones. Our surfing massages directly address this problem by easing muscles and enabling the body to maintain a healthy posture and balance.

Directions

How to get there

Coming by plane, by train, by bus, by car or by foot? There are many different ways you can visit our beautiful locations in Lagos and Praia da Luz.

We had a hell of a time!

We went to different beautiful beaches, had surfing theory and they taught everyone individually. We also got a lot of options for our free time which we really enjoyed (beachparty, poolparty and so on).
