Camps, lessons and a good time in Lagos 😎🇵🇹#surfcamp #kitecamp
Here’s why we love these ones!! ⬇️ These 3 movements loosen key areas that directly affect your surfing performance (and help prevent those unwanted injuries and tight after surf muscles 😅) 1. Standing Forward Fold Stretches: hamstrings, calves, lower back Why it matters for surf: Tight hamstrings limit your pop-up speed and make it harder to stay balanced in your stance. 2. Low Lunge Stretches: hip flexors, quads, groin Why it matters for surf: Your hips do a LOT of work when you’re popping up and staying stable on the board. Open hip flexors = faster pop-ups, stronger stance, and better control when riding waves. 3. Scorpion Stretches: chest, shoulders, spine, hip flexors Why it matters for surf: Surfing is all about paddling strength and upper-body mobility. This stretch opens your chest and shoulders Come join us for a surf lesson and we’ll show you ALL our favourite stretches (there’s a lot more) 😁🏄♀️

View post🥂 to living the human experience at a surf camp in Portugal 🏄🏼♀️ | gifted There is something so humbling about learning something new as an adult, but less so when you’re learning with other adults. I spent the last week at @algarvewatersport learning to surf, surf skate, wakeboard, and testing my minimal SUP skills. The crazy part is that I didn’t know a single other person at the camp before going, but I left with so many new friends. I could go on and on about this experience forever and can’t recommend it enough! 13/10 recommend putting a trip to Lagos for surfing on your short bucket list!

Ich hatte eine wirklich tolle Zeit im Camp und habe mich als Anfängerin bei meinem Kitekurs mit JayJay und AJ sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Leider hat uns der Wind teils im Stich gelassen, aber es wurden immer Alternativen wie Wakeboarden oder Surfen angeboten. Das Essen und die Unterbringung waren auch super. Ich kann das Camp nur empfehlen!

Attended as an external for 4 days, driving in with my own car each day — and it was absolutely worth it. I improved so much in such a short time, had an incredible amount of fun, and can’t wait to come back. Special shoutout to Lele, Noemi, and Emil — outstanding coaches who really pushed me and made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend.

3 von 3 perfekte Surftage. Wir kamen extern vom Camp in den Kurs und hatten wirklich so eine tolle Zeit. Die Surflehrer waren alle super nett, cool drauf und extrem professionell. Wir haben bei 0 angefangen und so schnell gelernt. Am dritten Tag konnten wir schon selber Wellen surfen und lenken, dank der super Trainer! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Ich war eine Woche bei AWS und habe ein Kitesurf und Surf Camp gebucht. Es war wirklich alles super toll. Der Plan war perfekt auf mich abgestimmt und die Leute die dort gearbeitet haben immer sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch das Essen war jeden Tag sowohl früh als auch abends super lecker. Hatte eine schöne Zeit auch mit den anderen Surfern, würde wieder kommen und kann es jedem empfehlen!:)

Ankommen Angst haben und Aufgefangen werden. Wunderbarer Lehrer Angel. Ich würde sagen, der Beste bis jetzt. Später kam noch Noemi dazu auch eine Tolle Coaching. Wir haben in 5 Tagen einen super Progress gemacht. Grenzen überschritten und uns selbstsicherer gefühlt als ich es je für möglich gehalten hab. Vielen Dank für eine wunderbare Woche. Nach 5 Tagen Lineup und eine grüne Welle gesurft finde ich für Anfängerstatus Extrem Algarve Watersport Hitverdächtig. OBRIGADA <3 GUYS

Extrem gut. Außerordentlich professionelle und sympathische Leitung; sehr motivierender, didaktisch und methodisch fundierter Unterricht, der auch blutigen Anfängern (wir!) Vertrauen, Motivation, Selbstbewusstsein und flotten Lernfortschritt garantiert, ohne dabei die erforderlichen Sicherheitsvorkehrungen außer Acht zu lassen. Schönes Surfcamp mit entsprechend poetischen Vibes und toller Atmosphäre. Unbedingt empfehlenswert; auch für Newbies über 50! Try it!

I spent a week at AWS learning how to Kite Surf. The instructor Adrian (AJ) was amazing and puched me to the edge of the comfort zone. My abilities now go way above my previous expectations. I stayed in a 7 person dorm, made loads of new friends. Having a buffet breakfast and dinner was perfect. The food is to a very high standard and plentiful. I can absolutely recommend AWS and Adrian.

I spent an incredible week at the Algarve Watersport surf camp. All the staff at the camp are super friendly, helpful and welcoming making you feel like their most important guest. In particular the surf instructors do a fantastic job teaching and coaching surfing. After one week I saw noticeable improvement in my surfing ability. I really appreciate the instructors pushing my limits to expand my capabilities. The facilities are very well setup and clean. The food is incredibly delicious; honestly the highlight of every day. Additionally the staff do a great job of organizing extra activities that compliment surfing really well; surf skating, theory lessons, yoga, SUP paddle boarding. These extra activities are tons of fun and make every day action packed and exciting. I had such an amazing time at surf camp I will definitely be returning in the future, I’m looking forward to it! Thanks AWS for such an amazing week of surf camp!!

I have been coming back to Algarve Watersport for four years straight now, and honestly, the experience is consistently fantastic—it just gets better every time. This place is truly in a league of its own. The quality of instruction here is unmatched. The coaches (shoutout to Andreas, Angel, Emil, Noemi and Björn!) are incredibly patient and skilled. What makes them the best is the personal, specific feedback they give you after every single session. I do surfing only and I always walked away with clear, practical advice that helped me progress immediately. At the camp the atmosphere is always positive, friendly, and completely chilled. The staff are super helpful, and there’s a great sense of community among the people. It really is the perfect environment for learning, relaxing, and meeting like-minded people. The accommodation and the overall organization are top-notch. And seriously, the food is delicious and nutritious! The dinner buffet and fresh fruit every morning are my highlights.

I had an incredible week at AWS surf camp. 5 days in row can be intense so I would recommend taking at least one day off in the middle of the week if possible. The sunrise SUP tour was also beautiful. As for the camp itself, there was a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend this for solo travelers as you get to meet a lot of people from different countries and socialize. The staff is very helpful and nice. The meals were excellent with a huge variety both at breakfast and dinner. Overall it was a great experience for me and something I would probably not do on my own if it was not for the camp. Highly recommended!

Waren inzwischen elf mal bei AWS und der zwölfte Aufenthalt ist schon gebucht. Waren schon in einigen anderen Camps, aber haben aufgehört, weiter zu suchen. Wir sind hauptsächlich zum Wellenreiten dort, aber haben inzwischen schon alle angebotenen Wassersportarten ausprobiert und waren immer außerordentlich zufrieden. Wir (Mitte 40 und Anfang 50) sind meist im Mai und September/Oktober bei AWS. Für unseren Surflevel (bis 1,5m Wellenhöhe, Wellen selbst wählen und starten, seitwärts fahren) ist die Algarve unserer Meinung nach die beste Gegend zu unserer Reisezeit. Sind letztes Jahr die ganze Atlantikküste von Bordeaux bis zur Algarve abgefahren und haben uns die üblichen Surfspots angesehen. Neben den Bedingungen geht es bei einem Wassersport Camp natürlich um die Instructors und das Camp. Die Surfinstructors sind alle ausgezeichnet und jede/r hat noch Eigenschaften, bei denen sie/er herausragend ist. Noemi mit ihrer positiven Ausstrahlung und Ihrem Einfühlungsvermögen, Björn mit seinem Gespür für die richtige Welle für die richtige Person, Jorma, der eindrucksvoll demonstiert, was man für interessante Manöver auf und mit einem Foamie machen kann, Alex und Andras mit ihrer ruhigen und super professionellen Ausstrahlung und einem Auge für jeden kleinen Fehler - und den Tipps, um diesen zu beheben, Ansan und Emil, mit denen man am Strand auch mal über Gott und die Welt und natürlich Surfen reden kann und selbstverständlich Angel, der mit seiner Surfplanung manchmal überrascht, aber dann doch genau richtig liegt. Dass wir bei unserer Surf-Karriere etwas stagnieren, liegt nicht an den Instructors. Sehr viele der etwas sportlicheren Gäste schaffen es bei ihrem ersten Surfurlaub innerhalb einer Woche in die grünen Wellen. Zu den aktuellen Kite- und Windsurf Instructors kann ich nicht viel sagen - abgesehen von AJ, wegen dessen super offenen und freundlichen Art allein wir wieder über Kite-Lessons nachdenken. Die Lagune, in der die Kite-Lessons stattfinden, ist als (teilweise) Stehrevier jedenfalls sehr anfängerfreundlich. Nach zwei Stunden in einem Urlaub und zwei weiteren ein halbes Jahr später, konnte ich dank der damaligen Instructors zumindest 30m fahren. Ausdrücklich empfehlen kann ich aber Wing-Lessons bei Orlando. Mit gerade mal etwas Wing-Control Erfahrung aus Deutschland hat er mich nach zwei Lessons erstmalig zum halbwegs kontrollierten Foilen gebracht. Der Wassersport ist aber nur ein Teil des Urlaubstages. Weshalb wir immerwieder kommen, ist zum Großteil das Camp selbst und das zugehörige Team. Das fängt schon im Office an. Die "Mermaids" tun ihr Bestes um alles möglich zu machen, was realistisch und organisatorisch geht. Unsere gute Urlaubslaune steigt direkt nochmal, wenn wir Katie und/oder Celina beim Check-In wiedersehen. Der Rest des Office-Teams steht bzgl. Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft den beiden aber in keiner Weise nach. Die erste Herausforderung des Urlaubstages ist aber immerwieder das umwerfend vielfältige Frühstücksangebot. Abends freuen sich dann alle darauf, was Jan und Adam zubereitet haben - auch die Vegetarier und Veganer. Wir buchen meist eines der Apartments und sind mit Zustand und Sauberkeit super zufrieden - wenn doch was nicht stimmt, dann klärt das Office das in der Regel in ganz kurzer Zeit. Es ist halt ein Camp und kein 5 Sterne Hotel. Bei einem Camp spielen natürlich auch die anderen Gäste eine entscheidende Rolle. Die meisten sind zwischen Mitte zwanzig und Mitte dreißig - kurioserweise sind die Wind-Sportler im Schnitt meist etwas älter als die Wellenreiter. Es sind aber auch immer wieder junge Familien oder auch Gäste in unserem Alter und darüber dabei. Im Endeffekt spielt das Alter aber kaum eine Rolle, da alle mit Meer und Wassersport gemeinsame Interessen haben. Abschließend noch ein Hinweis für Kiter, Wingfoiler und Windsurfer: Im April/Mai und September/Oktober gibt es immer Mal Tage mit zu wenig Wind. Langeweile kommt da aber nicht auf, da mit dem Camp ein Wakepark verbunden ist, Oscar als Option Electro-Motocross anbietet oder man ganz einfach Surfen probiert.

I had a great time at the Algarve Watersport kite surfing camp! The vibe was really cozy and chill, which made it super easy to feel comfortable—even though I was traveling solo. I ended up meeting some nice people to chat with. Big shoutout to Franek, the kite instructor! He was really professional, super focused on using lesson time wisely, and all about helping students get results than other instructors I’ve had. As well, Angel, the surfing instructor, was awesome too — really friendly and skilled.

We hebben een week op het kamp gezeten voor kitesurf lessen. Het was een prachtige ervaring. Alles was goed geregeld. Het eten en de activiteiten. Er werd mee gedacht en doormiddel van Whatsappgroep en online formulieren werd alles duidelijk gecommuniceerd. Helaas stond er soms weinig wind maar er werden genoeg andere activiteiten georganiseerd zoals surfen, wakeboarden en motorrijden voor ieder wat wils. De instructeurs waren ook allemaal aardig en hadden kennis. Zeker aan te bevelen.

Hervorragende Surf Schule mit sehr netten und engagierten Surflehrern. Wir haben zum ersten Mal auf dem Board gestanden und eine Menge Spaß gehabt. Zum surfen ging es mit dem Auto dann an den Arrifana Beach an der Westküste (s. Bild). Auch das Camp sieht sehr ansprechend aus, wir haben allerdings außerhalb gewohnt.

Incredible Kitesurfing experience with AJ My time at AWS was truly unforgettable! Adrian (AJ), my instructor for the first week, pushed me to new levels—helping me land my first jumps and master different techniques and transitions. He was always supportive, even when I made mistakes (like getting tangled with a boat!). Thanks to AJ’s encouragement and the quick teamwork of Manuel and Manouk, I was back on the water in no time. I had planned to stay just one week but loved it so much I extended for another—the lessons, the vibe, and the progress I made were amazing. The staff are super friendly, the food is delicious, and the whole camp has such a welcoming energy. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to take their kitesurfing to the next level!

Meine Tochter und ich hatten einen 1-Tages-Kurs gemacht. Beide standen wir das erste Mal auf dem Surfbrett. Wir hatten sehr kurzfristig gebucht und hatten Glück, dass noch zwei Plätze frei waren. Die Kommunikation im Vorfeld verlief einwandfrei. Der Kurs selbst war super. Zwar mussten wir ca. 45 Minuten von Lagos nach Arrifana fahren, hatten dort eben auch super Bedingungen. Alex, unser Lehrer, hat uns toll unterstützt. Alles ruhig und sachlich erklärt, ist uns im Wasser mit Rat und Tat zur Seite gestanden und hat immer motiviert. War klasse. Die Surfschule kann ich Anfängern nur wärmstens empfehlen. Hat alles reibungslos geklappt und hat mega Spaß gemacht.

I had an amazing week! The atmosphere is truly beautiful, friendly and relaxing—I felt really good here 😊 Pros: • The food is incredible: breakfast and dinner are abundant, inclusive and super tasty (as an Italian, highly approved!). • The surfhouse is well cared for, cozy, and always clean and tidy. • The surf instructors are very skilled and supportive: they finally helped me fix my posture on the board, and they’re also just lovely people to be around 💖 • Interesting activities are always organized, also connected to the chosen course. • The beaches they take you to are stunning, and I really appreciated the useful explanations about currents and how to stay safe in each specific spot. Cons: • Lunch is not provided: after class you come back quite hungry and the options nearby are pretty limited. A food box to bring to the beach would be ideal, and it would also allow you to enjoy the ocean a bit more—right now, after the lessons, you leave the beach immediately. • Paying the remaining balance in cash is not very convenient (especially while traveling). At the end of my stay I found out from a friend that you can actually pay by card, but you have to explicitly ask. When I asked upon arrival why cash was required, the answer was: “I don’t know, other places do it too” 😅. Overall, a super positive experience with just a few small things that could be improved. I’d happily come back! 🌊

Wir hatten eine mega gute Zeit bei Algarve Watersports! Alles war gut organisiert, die Stimmung total entspannt und gleichzeitig richtig motivierend. Besonders cool war unser Surflehrer Emil – er hat sich echt Zeit für uns genommen und genau hingeschaut, wo wir uns verbessern können. Mit seinen Tipps haben wir unsere Technik gut weiterentwickeln können. Egal ob Take-off, Paddeln oder das Timing – durch Emil haben wir viel besser verstanden, worauf es ankommt. Er war immer geduldig, hat super erklärt und ist individuell auf uns eingegangen. Man hat einfach gemerkt, dass ihm wirklich was daran liegt, dass wir besser werden – und nicht nur irgendwie die Wellen runterrutschen. Danke Emil und danke ans ganze Team von Algarve Watersports!

Wer nicht viel erwartet wird auch nicht enttäuscht. Das Essen ist sehr gut, die Zimmer in Ordnung, jedoch stank die Toilette schlimm nach Kanalisation und der Boden war nicht rein. Auf dem Bettzeug waren Haare oder Flecken zu finden, was schade ist. Die Lektionen finden in der Lagune ca. 15min entfernt statt, jedoch hat es zu viele Leute dort und wenn die Ebbe sinkt, wird es ganz schön eng. Leider hatten wir für die ganze Woche immer wieder eine andere Person die uns instruiert hat und eine Person hat uns sogar teilweise alleine gelassen. Ich habe nicht das Gefühl wirklich Fortschritte gemacht zu haben. Die Organisation ist sehr inkonsistent, sie geben sich zwar die grösste Mühe, jedoch wechseln die Leute so häufig, dass es kein Wunder ist, dass es ständige Fehlbuchungen, Missverständnisse oder Fehlversprechungen gibt. Insgesamt eine sehr nette Erfahrung, jedoch hat mir der persönliche Touch gefehlt, hatte das Gefühl einfach einer von vielen zu sein.

We’ve kited in many different places, but this has truly been a standout experience. A big thank you to Manouk and Fran for their excellent support and guidance

„Träumchen Kinder“! Wir hatten die Semi private kite lesson (5 Sessions) gebucht und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Wir haben nicht im Camp übernachtet, doch wurden genau so herzlich empfangen und betreut. Wir hatten keine Kite Erfahrung, aber konnten aufgrund von unserem Instructor AJ alias Adrian schon nach nur wenigen Stunden auf dem Wasser und am Kite unsere ersten Bahnen fahren. Er ist super witzig, motivierend und fürsorglich. Er hat sehr viel Erfahrung und ist unglaublich kompetent. Dazu einfach ein toller Typ! Neben Adrian ist das Team jedoch nicht zu vernachlässigen. Alle sind super nett, unkompliziert und hilfsbereit. Es war rundum ein tolles Erlebnis und wir haben jede Minute genossen.

I’ve just spent a fantastic week at AWS, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. The staff’s hospitality, the excellent food, and the stunning location in such a beautiful region all contributed to making my stay truly special. Before arriving, I had a few concerns that others might share—namely: I was traveling alone, I was an absolute beginner in water sports, and my chosen sport (kitesurfing) is highly weather-dependent. I’d like to address each of these for anyone considering a trip to AWS. NO PROBLEM TRAVELING SOLO Coming to the camp alone turned out to be no issue at all. Many others were also traveling solo, and we quickly formed a large, international group. My impression is that people who choose camps like this tend to be open and friendly, which made it easy to connect and socialize. BEGINNER-FRIENDLY AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT As a complete beginner, I felt completely supported. Our group included people who had never touched a board before (myself included), as well as those with some prior experience. We were divided into smaller groups based on skill level, which made learning comfortable and paced appropriately. The instructors were incredibly patient, supportive, and attentive—I genuinely feel that I learned a lot during just two kiting sessions. WEATHER CHALLENGES HANDLED GRACEFULLY Kitesurfing, as expected, is dependent on wind conditions. Unfortunately, we only had two windy days during my stay. However, the way the staff handled this was exceptional. We were encouraged to try other available courses and could switch activities up to a day in advance. I ended up spending quite a bit of time wakeboarding at the Wake Park (a great kitesurfing substitute), and also tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and windsurfing. During the windsurfing session, weather conditions became unfavorable and we had to stop after an hour—I was only charged for that hour, which I really appreciated. At the end of the week, the administration recalculated all the session costs, especially since kitesurfing is the most expensive activity. I was reimbursed for the price differences without having to ask. This level of transparency and fairness truly stood out. FINAL THOUGHTS My week at AWS exceeded expectations. As a beginner, I learned a ton, tried new activities, met amazing people, and—most importantly—fell in love with water sports. I’m already looking forward to coming back next year.

What a fantastic experience. My son took a kite surfing course and his instructor was very patient, kind and took great care of him. I took a wing foil course and it was amazing! My instructor gave exactly the right advice and exactly the right time. The lodge is amazing, very friendly and the food the kitchen put out each day was delicious! We’ll be back!! Andrew

I only went to this school as an external guest (so no camp, only kiting), but was met with the same friendliness as everyone else. It's really a great atmosphere in this school. I went kite surfing for three days and was impressed by the flawless organization (mostly via Whatsapp and Google Sheets) and their flexibility. Unfortunately there was not enough wind to properly kite for two days, but a rescheduling at no additional costs was possible – can't get any better service than that. The kiting instruction from AJ/Adrian was also perfect. He guides you on your way to become an independent kiter, with the perfect mix between teaching you and giving you enough space to try for yourself. He not only focuses on teaching kiting itself, but also kiting etiquette, choice and care of equipment and consideration of the surroundings. And all of that with the right amount humor. I can't recommend the school itself and Adrian as an instructor enough!

Das beste Kitecamp auf dem ich je war. Das Essen ist der Hammer die Instruktor und Mitarbeiter sind superfreundlich. Die Leute schauen individuell nach dir und was du machen kannst. Die Kitelessons sind sehr gut aufgebaut man hat ein 5-10 minütiger Fahrt dahin. Adrian ist ein kompetenter Kitelehrer der seine Schüler gut einschätzen kann und das Wissen spaßig übermitteln kann. Das geliehene Surfmaterial ist gut. Das meiste von North in gutem Zustand. Wenn es mal kein Wind hat werden gute Alternativen geboten (Wakeboarden , Surfen und SUP). In der Woche hat sich eine richtige Gruppe gebildet über alle Sprachen hinweg. Es ist gemischt zwischen (Gruppen, Solo-Traveller und Paaren)

I came to the camp for kiting and surfing, and quickly discovered how hard it is to leave this place again 🥹! Everything was well organised - the dorm was spaciously designed with plenty of storage to lay out our belongings, the team was full of wonderful people, and the food was incredible, with many delicious vegetarian/vegan options 🤤. You wake up in the morning with joy thinking about the nice breakfast awaiting, and already can started daydreaming on the way back from the surf, about the tasty dishes which would be on the evening menu 🫶🏽. If you're into watersports, nice vibes, wholesome food and lovely people, you'll feel right at home here 🙃! Besides the watersports, the daily yoga felt good on those sore muscles, and learning to surfskate with Jorma and Emil was pure fun 😍. Already wishing to come back ✨

Sono stata da loro per un surf camp di una settimana ad agosto 2022. L'esperienza è stata NEGATIVA per diversi motivi: 1- avevo prenotato una stanza doppia e viste le indicazioni scritte sul sito e il PREZZO, ero certa di non aver prenotato un posto letto! Invece una volta arrivata lì ho saputo che dovevo condividere la stanza E PER DI PIù CON UN MASCHIO, tutto questo senza essere stata minimamente avvisata. Oltretutto la stanza era molto piccola. 2- le lezioni di surf si svolgevano sempre a più di un'ora di pulmino dal residence. 3- le lezioni di surf erano chiaramente SOVRAFFOLLATE per fare cassa!! Più di 10 principianti alla volta con un solo maestro. Praticamente si doveva passare tutta la lezione a cercare di non essere investiti dagli altri. 3- nel residence non ci stavano attività organizzate per favorire la socializzazione. 4- per il cibo, chi prima arrivava se lo prendeva e molte cose finivano presto e non venivano rifornite in sostanza, le uniche note positive: la gentilissima e competente maestra di yoga, il personale della cucina.

Après une petite frayeur, les 4 cours que j'ai pris pour mon fils et moi ont été incroyables. Encadrés soit par Jorma, soit par Emile, nous avons pu découvrir plusieurs plages de l'Algarve et avons été très très bien pris en charge. L'encadrement a été d'une grande qualité, les conseils nous ont beaucoup fait progresser. Je recommande vivement cette école.

I surfed for the first time in my life with the guys from Algarve Watersport and the experience was amazing. I didn't stay at the camp, but I met the group there, to pick up the equipment. The instructors look just like the surfers in the movies, with the hair in the wind and cool atitude. I took lessons for 4 days in a row and even though this sport is not that easy, I felt that I did a very good progress. The team is well organized and the tips and tricks were always helpful. If we could'n't find the "right" waves, my instructor stayed in the shallow water, pushing us one by one with the waves. They choose the beach based on the weather conditions, to improve our experience, making sure that we have good waves for surfing. We also got the chance to surf at the sunset and the view is gorgeous on the west coast. They even stayed longer with us because they realized that we have a good time. Overall, the experience was great and I will definetely come back to their camp when I'll get the chance.

Had a surf lesson as part of another camp here with the team. The whole team was really friendly and well prepared.

Sanno accompagnare al meglio il percorso di crescita, aiutando a migliorare di giorno in giorno.

Der 2 Stunden Surfkurs für Anfänger ist genau richtig, um einmal in diese Sportart hinein zu schnuppern. Nach der Fahrt zum Strand geht es nach dem Aufwärmen und ein paar Trockenübungen schon richtig los. Während der ganzen Zeit habe ich mich sehr sicher und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Unser Guide war sehr nett und hat gute Tipps gegeben. Es wäre schön, wenn nach dem Kurs noch kurz Zeit für ein Erinnerungsbild bleiben würde. Das ist aber wirklich nur eine kleine Anmerkung und hat das Erlebnis nicht weniger schön gemacht.

I went for a week to learn how to kite and live at the camp with others that went for the same reason, and I got to say it was a week well spent. The stay itself for me was Saturday afternoon the 24th to Saturday early morning the 31st of August, and except for being overdressed for the heat when arriving, the whole stay was excellent. The dinner ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. New things every day with well balanced and thought out dishes, good salads, fruits, new desserts (for me at least), and so much food you would never think of leaving hungry. So the kitchen team deserves all the praise they can get, but I'm sure they do hear it often enough from both staff and guests. I have told family and friends that the food alone is worth considering going for. Breakfast 7 days a week, and dinner 6 days and 1 day off for the kitchen team. The kiting started a bit slow for me, with 1 lesson Sunday followed by 2 days of no wind. Luckily, the 4 days I got to kite, my instructor (AJ/Adrian) got me riding really quick. So by the end of my 4 days of kiting I was at, or even a bit past the level of the other kiters that arrived early enough to join the Saturday session that i missed. Hell yeah! I didn't bother asking for my official grade, so this is purely from talking to the other kiters staying at the camp. So needless to say, I am extremely satisfied with the 4 days of kiting I got, and I'm now ready to start trying it out with the local kiters where I live. I just have to get used to the water being a bit colder here in Norway.... So thank you all, I will be back! And hopefully next time I'm an even stronger kiter than I was when I left.

Struttura splendida e pulita, cucina ottima. La piscina è un bel plus per riposarsi e rinfrescarsi nelle calde giornate portoghesi. Il camp è frequentato prevalentemente da tedeschi. In tutto lo staff non era presente neanche una persona portoghese. Di conseguenza mancava l’autenticità di un surf camp portoghese. Il clima all’interno del camp é conviviale, ma forse manca un po’ di coesione. Gli istruttori erano molto bravi e disponibili. In una settimana di surf ho imparato molto anche se al termine della mia avventura non mi reputo soddisfatto del mio livello raggiunto. Sicuramente ci saranno altre occasioni per ripetere questa esperienza

We spend a week here at their camp to go kite surfing at the end of August and it was amazing. Since they do all kind of things, I'll break this review down into 3 parts: 1. Accommodations/the camp 2. Activities 3. Kite surfing 1. Accommodations We got the room with the 2 beds and a private bathroom. Not very big, but it had AC, a good shower and beds that were decent. But you'll not spend a lot of time in here anyway. It's Portugal. It's hot and sunny and the only time spend in your room will be for sleeping or horizontal yoga anyway. The rest of the camp was awesome. They have a pool, that feels really cold when you jump in but is actually pretty nice compared to the 30+ degrees celcius outside. They got all kinds of areas to relax. Either at the couch of happiness in the sun, or a sun bed underneath the massive tree or just on the grass, you'll be able to find a spot that works for you. It can get a bit chilly at night with the high winds, so they also have a living room area that's perfect to relax after a hard day of activities. Now i have to give an extra big special shout out to the food. How they manage to feed 60+ people every day (except wednesday) for breakfast and dinner and still maintain that quality, i do not know. It's magic. They must put some special kind of spice, like ground up sunshine, into the dishes to make them taste so amazing. I figured that with the buffet style meals they advertise it would be just the average hotel kind of stuff. Filling but nothing special. I was so, so wrong. I gained a kilo, even with all the sports, just from being compelled to go for seconds. Big shout out to the cooks for making this one of the highlights of the day. 2. Activities We got becalmed for 2 days, so no kite surfing. But that means you get to do other things! We went wakeboarding at the nearby wakepark and the camp just takes care of you with transfers and pickups and everything. Brilliant. No need to worry about if the uber is ever going to show up or get annoyed it takes the long way around. Yoga lessons are also offered for free and they're actually pretty fun. Don't always fit our schedule but it's a fun thing to do when you have time. We did also sign up for a sun rise sup tour, but the minimum number of people was not reached. So that was a bummer. Probably had something to do with the end of summer party and the start of the tour being at 6 in the morning. 3. Kiting The actual reason for our stay. I'm a tall fat guy. No hiding it. But with the kite surfing, this didn't matter. I just got a bigger kite! I can tell you, when you fly a 13m2 kite in gusty winds, you really start to appreciate the power that thing can generate. I went flying! The instructors were very good, very friendly, knowledgable and funny. Shout out to JJ for getting both myself and my girlfriend to do a waterstart right at the end of the week. It was glorious! The lagoon we did the kiting at was a 20 minute car ride away, nice warmish water, even at high tide not too deep. It could get bussy with 30 students trying to learn how to kite at the same time but there's really no avoiding that. Only advice i'd give is don't wear flip flops. Get some watershoes or shoes that you don't care about to get you to the starting beach because you have to clamber over a lot of loose rocks. There's so much more to say, Lagos is a nice town to just visit, there're plenty of bars to go out at night , at least according to the other people staying at the camp, we never went, we're 20 years past that stage. The weather was fantastic, Rusty the cat is cute etc. etc. etc. I highly recommend this place for anybody that wants to do water sports and have a great time. Even when you're no longer 20 and lost that body of a Greek god and have more of a beer keg then a 6 pack, you'll probably still enjoy your stay.

I had the best week at the Algarve Watersport Kite camp. As a first time kiter, I was super happy with my instructors (Elisa and Adrian). Thanks to them I was flying the kite and riding the board in a matter of days! On the day without wind I also enjoyed the surfing and wakeboarding. The camp grounds itself and accommodation are the perfect place to relax and connect with the other campers. The food is AMAZING 🤩.

Wir haben einen Kitesurf Kurs gebucht ohne im Camp zu übernachten und es war großartig. Das gesamte Team war suuuuper freundlich, sehr gut organisiert, hilfsbereit und sehr flexibel. Ein riesen Dankeschön an unseren Kitelehrer Andy, der unglaublich geduldig mit uns war. Tolles Kiterevier mit guten Bedingungen. An einem Abend haben wir spontan das Essen im Camp genutzt und es war meeeeega lecker. Also alles in allem 10 von 10 👌🏼 Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Again, a AWSome week. Had three great kite-sessions with AJ, who pushed us to improve as fast as possible. Even the faceplants were a lot of fun 🙈🤙… Surfing and weakboarding were perfect alternatives for the low wind days, while the city anyways has enough to offer that you sometimes just need a day to rest at the pool 😅. High recommendation also for Liam’s Sangrias at the bar… 1L of happiness 🙃! Looking forward to coming back next year, thanks to the whole team for the great week!

I booked the camp as a solo traveler and all I can say is that Algarve Watersport exceeded my expectations in all the ways possible! I was supposed to stay one week there but after only 2 days I extended my stay for 2 weeks as I loved it so much! From the very first moment they make sure that you feel welcome and taken care of. The camp itself is wonderful; the rooms are nicely decorated and cleaned daily and the beds are comfortable. There is also a cozy common area with a pool where you can just chill and hang-out with the others. One of the biggest surprises at the camp was the food - always delicious with a different theme every day, full of vegetarian or vegan options. I signed up for kitesurfing classes and on the days when there was no wind we were offered alternative activities, I strongly recommend going on a motocross tour with Oskar even if you're a complete beginner when it comes to riding a motorcycle! Also a special shout-out to my kite instructor Kris who demonstrated a great deal of patience during our lessons! I'm sure that without him my progress wouldn't be the same. I'd like to thank all the crew for making this experience so memorable. I will definitely come back next year :)

Exceptional Wing Foiling Lessons with Orlando at Algarve Watersport Is it worth the money to take lessons? That was the question I was pondering before booking my wing foiling lessons at Algarve Watersport. After all, you can find all the information you need on YouTube, right? However, after a few days with the incredible instructor Orlando, it became clear that the lessons provided the necessary knowledge to finally get me onto the foil and stay there for extended periods. The key to my success was Orlando’s exceptional teaching skills. He didn't just tell me how to wingfoil; he carefully observed what I was doing and provided insightful feedback on how to improve. Orlando's keen eye and personalized instruction made all the difference. He is by far the best instructor I have had in any sport, and I have tried quite a few since I am over 50 years old. Wingfoiling is an amazing feeling, and thanks to Orlando, I can now fully enjoy it. His dedication, expertise, and ability to tailor his teaching to each student's needs are unparalleled. If you're considering wing foiling lessons, I wholeheartedly recommend Algarve Watersport and especially Orlando. The experience is worth every penny!

My second stay here, and will be coming again! Great vibe, friendly staff and amazing food (breakfast and dinner in camp simplifies a lot of logistics!) I progressed a lot on kutesurfing, especially want to thank Adrian (AJ) -- he's very efficient but chill, his tips were super on spot, and I love how he was actively suggesting and showing me new things to try. And he's a super cool guy even outside of kiting!

What an experience! 🏄🏽♀️ This was my second time in Lagos with AWS and the team. What made me come back are the same reason why I recommend this place and community: Choices and Service. I love to do watersports. Trying out different ones and learning is nit only full service (equipment and transport) I really want to highlight the instructors here. Last time I did a week of kiting and wakeboarding. This time I enjoyed the humbling process of surfing as well as learning more in the wake park. Between one and 2 activities a day, I needed to refuel. That is when the culinary experience started. The food is 12/10. Breakfast: colorful and fueling, heaps of fruits Dinner: a wholesome buffet that is well thought through. Every day a different topic, my favorite was definitely Mexican taco night! They even picketed the onions themselves. Last night we had vegan lemon sponge cake with lemons of the camp garden. You see where I am going there. Sleep: since we are a 20 min walk outside of Lagos town (or 4€Uber) the camp side is nice and quiet. We stayed in a dorm with solid beds, and curtains and enough storage space. Happy to come back a third time! Thank you team! Alexis 🌻

My wife and i went here on a recommendation from a friend and fell in love with the school. It became my favorite vacation I have ever taken due to the experience. The food and rooms are both amazing and we would come back for them alone, but they also offer just lessons for those who don’t want to stay. The staff really were always smiling and helpful - even to some of our spontaneous requests. And the instructors were all experts and amazing at progressing you very quickly - but also were conscious and helpful to those who learn a little slower or who lacked motivation. We made very good friends here that hopefully will last a life time! We decided to try kite surfing and were both able to ride pretty well just by the fourth course. We are definitely going back - the overall experience was the best vacation i have ever taken - they took care of everything - all you had to do was show up, learn, and of course have fun!

I came here to improve my windsurfing skills, enjoy the sun and meet other watersport enthusiasts. All of these expectations were fulfilled. Thanks to the experienced windsurfing coaches Thomas, Adam and Orlando i was able to learn to use the harness and footstraps and enjoy my first experiences with the board lifting out of the water and starting to glide. Even at the few days with insufficient wind i had a lot of fun at the wake park, enjoyed a serene sunrise tour with jacob on SUPs and Emil got me to stand my first whitewater waves on the surfboard. When I booked my stay at Algarve Watersport I was aware that they offer breakfast and dinner. However I did not expect how good the food is. The crew in the kitchen is amazing, with some inspiring creations (im looking at you, tomato watermelon salad). Way better then expected were also the Yoga classes. I tried to catch every session i could attend to. All of the staff is super welcoming. Special thanks go to Sara for always watching out for newcomers who might feel overwhelmed with so many new faces, keeping up with guests who stay for an extended period and always beeing up for a quick chat. AJ is also super fun to talk to and share experiences. After two weeks of staying at the camp, my only regret is that i did not experience much of the portuguese / local culture. But that's just because i did enjoy staying in the camp so much.

We booked our camp and surf lessons on a whim, breaking away from the typical Saturday-to-Saturday schedule, and wow, was the booking process a breeze! Chatting via WhatsApp was incredibly fast and super flexible—definitely a five-star experience! I visited with my two teenage kids, and we were greeted with the warmest welcome, immediately feeling part of the group. The team was amazingly open and wonderfully international, making us feel right at home. The camp itself was stunning; our room was lovely with a gorgeous bathroom, and everything was organized to perfection. So, it's five stars for the rooms, camp, and reception! My kids have tried different surf schools in Portugal and France, but none compared to the progress they made here. Instructors Noemi, Alex, and Emil were not only highly motivated but also incredibly inspiring. Their enthusiasm for teaching and joy at our rapid progress over just three days were palpable. The surf lessons alone deserve six out of five stars! 😊 If you're looking for a sporty getaway as a family with teens or as a single parent, this is your spot. Your kids will quickly mesh with other guests and the team, with loads of activities to keep everyone engaged. Having our own car added a touch of flexibility, but the camp shuttles to various surf spots along the coast were just perfect for most guests. Now, I'm dealing with a constant, "Can we come back here next holiday? And the ones after that?" It was truly one of our most unexpected and memorable trips.

I did a kitesurf camp with Algarve Watersport and had a wonderful experience. Staff is kind, welcoming, professional and helps you along with scheduling lessons to make the most out of your stay. I went the beginning on the April, where the wind for kitesurfing was still a bit unpredictable. The camp called ahead to made sure I could arrive on time on a windy day and join the class. Luckily for me the wind got better during the week and I was able to get some good kite sessions going. The food at the camp is also very good. With a great variety of food at breakfast and a changing menu for dinner. All made from fresh ingredients. Haven’t eaten this healthy and good for a long time! Lastly the instructors! During the week I had lessons from Leo and Jacob and was very happy with their instructions. But a big shout out to Jacob! His instructions are easy to follow, he gives you the confidence to keep going, is very patient and most importantly, always smiling! Stoked to put those lessons to good use and to keep on kitesurfing!

It's a really good surfcamp for beginners, the place is very cozy with pool and chillspots, food is supergood and instructors are very kind and helpful. You can try different waves on your own level and they explain well how to improve your skills. You can also have yoga classes or try wakeboard too, which is wellexplained for beginners as well. We were there with a group and at first it was a bit inconsistent which informations are for which groups, also there were corrections or we got the infos quite late before next day, so there were some misunderstanding about timings and it was difficult to plan our free time because of this. Later during the week we felt some improvement in this. In overall I can recommend the camp, we will come back next years.

Had the best week here - highly recommend! Lovely accommodation, great food (homemade granola at breakfast was to die for) and excellent windsurf tuition. Instructors really tailored the lessons to the group and were able to give feedback according to each individual's ability level. I went as a solo traveller and felt very welcome and met lots of other awesome solo travellers.

I'll give it 4 stars with the disclaimer that I was an outsider joining only for 2 days. The camp house looks amazing and the administrative organization was seamless. I did not like the fact that the only online payment option had an automatic 2% surcharge, but luckily was able to pay cash without xtra charge. No discount for bringing your own wetsuit though. Aside from that I think the quality of the gear provided was top notch, but I was disappointed after providing the info of being what they call a 'level 4' surfer, I still surfed an 8ft foam board on the 1st day, when I preferred the requested 6ft hard one. Day 2 I got a 7ft foam board, which was ok, but... I believe even though there are multiple instructors, the groups are too big. And the mix n match of 'intermediates' becomes too complex for the instructors. I had a great time for a good price, but have a feeling the organization is becoming a victim of its own success. Still would recommend it for beginners and for camp goers.

Ich war das erste Mal dieses Jahr im Camp bei Algarve Watersport in Lagos und ich bin mir sicher, dass ich wiederkommen werde. Das Personal ist sehr sehr nett, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer und auch die Apartments sind sauber und schön. Man fühlt sich nach der Ankunft sofort wohl. Das Buffet am Morgen und am Abend ist weltklasse und kaum zu toppen. Alles wird frisch zubereitet, auch diverse Aufstriche wie Nussmus, Humus und Co. Mit einer solch guten Küche in einem Camp hätte ich im Leben nicht gerechnet. Zudem gibt’s an der Bar immer leckere Drinks. Die Planungen der Aktivitäten sind top koordiniert und organisiert. Die Instruktoren sind wirklich gut und der Spaß kommt definitiv nicht zu kurz. Alles in allem hatte ich eine wahnsinnig schöne Zeit und freue mich auf ein Wiedersehen.

The best surfclass we've had. In previous surf classes they just explained us how to stand up and then let us in the water and try for 2 hours, without paying much attention to what we did wrong or what we could improve. Whereas here we got a clear and thorough explanation before going into the water and very useful feedback every time we caught a wave. Angel is a great instructor! Thank you!

We were at the Algarve Watersports Camp for a surf course in September. The Camp is really nice, with a beautiful community space to chill by the Pool, eat together with the other camp visitors or get extra theory lessons from the Coaches. The food was extraordinary with much love for Detail. The Surf instructors (we met Alex, Andras, Emil, Ansan, Noemi, Orlando) were really professional, always helpful and gave many good hints to every single student. It was an amazing experience and very impressive how fast you can make progress If you have good teachers. Also the theorey lesson and the video analysis were very helpful. The only sad thing about that was, that those were done after our last day of surfing, so we didn't have the chance to use the gained insights. We also did a sunrise SUP tour with Izak, where we had stunning views and a really good time! Absolutely worth every cent. The only thing which could be improved was the Appartement. It was nice and clean but quite old fashioned and the kitchen didn't have much equipment. Still 5 stars for this amazing experience. We will definitely come back next year.

Ich kann AWS nur empfehlen. Hatte den Tageskurs von zwei Stunden gebucht. Die Mitarbeiter*innen sind nett und hilfsbereit. Meine Fragen per Email im Vorfeld wurden umgehend beantwortet (Die eine oder andere sehr positive Rückmeldung wie "We are over the moon to inform you...." muten etwas übertrieben an, aber waren auf jeden Fall nett gemeint.) Die Orga war gut. Und das Wichtigste: Der Kurs hat mir großen Spaß gemacht und wirklich was gebracht. (Fortgeschrittene Anfängerin trifft mein Level wohl am Ehesten). Die drei Lehrer vor Ort waren sympathisch und kompetent. Ich hatte vor allem mit Ansan zu tun, der sich insbesondere um die Neulinge (im Gegesatz zu denen, die schon die letzten Tage dabei waren) gekümmert hat. Supernett und motivierend, gute Einführung (hilfreich, nicht zu kurz, nicht zu lang) und wirklich gute Tipps dann in der Praxis im Wasser. Ich würde sofort wieder einen Kurs buchen.

This place has everything: perfect afterparty breakfast thanks to Karolina but also amazing dinner from all around the world, confortable and clean rooms and lots of places to chill before or after your classes. Surf instructors are the best, András, Ansan, Emil, Angel, Noemi and Alex will make sure you have the time of your life on the boards, just let it go and enjoy. They will explain you all, taking into consideration your needs and adapt to every situation. I also highly recommend a massage from Mieke who just gets what you need.

Thanks to ansan and emilion who teached me alot during my surf lessons although I hardly catched any waves. Me and my board were more like a pair of socks in the washing machine. Might come back to fine-tune these skills. Special thanks to lenny for his club recommendations and dance performances at the pool. He made this stay unique. Definitely need to meet him.. if you're English, he will find you! Xteeni Gang🤙

Wir haben hier einen 3 Tägigen Kite-Surfkurs gemacht & hatten den besten Lehrer (Itzak) den man sich wünschen kann! Z.T sprechen die Surflehrer deutsch, alle sind super nett & hilfsbereit und der vibe war einfach nur ein Traum. Itzak war extrem geduldig mit uns, hat alles super erklärt, war immer gut gelaunt, hat uns immer ein gutes Gefühl gegeben und es mit seinen Tipps geschafft, dass wir an Tag 3 sogar die ersten Meter gefahren sind! Dank Itzak sind wir so angefixt, dass wir auf jeden Fall in Deutschland weitermachen wollen. Die Gruppen waren zudem extrem klein: an Tag 1 waren wir zu viert und an den anderen beiden Tagen sogar nur zu zweit. Einfach mega geile Surfschule & ganz tolle Menschen: OBRIGADA❤️

My brothers and I had a fantastic time here at Algarve Watersport. We were first warmly welcomed by Elisa, who showed us around the whole camp and was always on hand to answer any questions. I spend my first 2 Kite days with my coach Andy. He gave me a perfect insight into the Kite basics and Kite control. After that I had three wonderful Kite days with Manouk. She did an amazing job and taught me step by step to get a better controll and to manage the waterstart. Afterwards she gave me more very helpful tips for my first meters on the board. You could see her enthusiasm for the sport and coaching in every minute and I wish all other Kite students a coach like her. There are a lot of more Kite instructors like Izak, Gerardo, Lukasz, Jacob, Tomasz, Manuel, Orlando... were I also heard only the best from other students and to see them riding on the water after your lesson is just inspiring. Besides kiting, we were sweetened every day with excellent food and absolutely unbeatable drinks from Fritz the bar master. Definitely a must for every water sports enthusiast! We definitely will come back....

I was a bit disappointed with this camp. I have been in several camps now and this has not been very satisfied. If there is no wind or waves they do not really have a back up plan or good alternatives to offer. The wake park smells and I would not want to wake in that water. One room in the camp even had bed milbes… this is not a good sign at all. The organization was not so good too, did not edit all the lists or mails or other info and if you do not respond quickly they become stressed out. The camp itself is nice, big, and has everything you need. Rooms were nice, food good but not enough, desert was mostly gone when you ate a bit later than the usual time but still in the dinner period. I was also missing the intimate part, introductions, welcoming drink, game night, or stuff to bond… the teachers were good and did a good job!

I did both kitesurfing and surfing. The instructors were professional, fun, kind and really challenged you to progress. Jacob, the lead kite instructor is a super cool guy, very calm and keeps everything in top order. He taught me at the start of the week and improved my upwind riding dramatically. Later in the week, I was introduced to jumping with Lukasz, a super cool guy with some very helpful tips. Also a special thanks to the team in the office working in the background to make this camp the wonderful place it truly is. Also FRITZ! THE BEST COCKTAIL MAKER IN THE ALGARVE. Always smiling too 😉 Cheers guys! See you soon 😁

Such a great (kite)surfing camp with a range of activities! The camp is really well set up - the office is really well organised, allowing you to chop and change between activities as you like (even if you booked a package). The food is great (I needed to learn some self restraint as you can go back for more many times!) and Fritz and Bjern the bar staff are really friendly and helpful. The kite learning experience could have been quite a bit better I think - I upgraded from group to semi-private lessons which means you get your own kite (definitely worth doing rather than sharing in group lessons), but was often paired with someone of a completely different standard which meant I had very little tuition from my instructor as they were focussing on the other person - on more than one occasion this was almost none but by this stage I was at least mostly up and riding a bit. All in all a pretty good trip though, where I made good friends and had a lot of fun - I would recommend and may well be back!

We were a group of 4 and did 3 days of surf lessons for beginners. For the first day we were with Ansan who was great fun and very professional, using the sand to help us visualise how we should catch a wave. His adorable puppy who loves to catch sand also joined us. For the other 2 days we had Alex pretty much all to ourselves. We made amazing progress, especially my friend who was already standing by the end of the 1st day, but all of us were catching waves by ourselves by the end of the second day (with Alex pointing out which waves were good and how far out we should go). I struggled a little with getting on the board still, but Alex was very patient and attentive. By the 3rd day we were just having great fun and chill vibes. All instructors and guests were very friendly and welcoming, with my brother even staying after to chill at the camp for a bit at the end of the day. We all now have a love for surfing and want to get back out into the ocean again :) *btw, we went in June, an thought the water was cold we didn’t feel it thanks to the wetsuits!

Ich kam desillusioniert nach frustrierenden Anfängererfahrungen und war total überrascht wie gut und schnell es mit euch funktioniert hat. Kein Frust, nur Freude! Danke ich werde weiter lernen. Danke auch an die tolle Küchencrew. Frühstück von Anja & Matt und Abendessen von Sugar & Salt waren alles andere als gewöhnlich. Alles frisch und mit Liebe selbstgemacht. Und Danke an Fritz, Björn und Shake die beste Barcrew der Welt. Schön, dass ihr da wart. Ihr könntet auch die angesagtesten Clubs der Stadt rocken. Danke auch an Mark für die coolen Insidertipps.

Awesome surf camp! Such a lovely place with great people, all of them: staff, instructors, and guests. One week of surf camp was just great. The atmosphere is really friendly and chill. Clean room, DELICIOUS, and FRESH food - you'll have new cuisine for each dinner during the week (what do you need more?), Chef knows his stuff. Surf Instructors are worth to be mentioned separately. During the week I learned from all of them. Andras, Alex, Angel, Ansan, Emil - is really great team. They were very patient, kind, and friendly every day, no matter what always watching for us and giving some hints/instructions during the lesson. I really enjoyed every minute of every surf session. I hope to come back soon. p.s. Ansan’s playlist is just great ;)

Und das trotz mehrerer Leute im Kurs… würde ich jeder Zeit wieder so buchen und empfehlen!!!

Sehr coole Unterkunft, sehr coole Leute, man kommt easy mit anderen Gruppen ins Gespräch und kann hier z.B. eine Woche mit Surfen in der Surfschule verbringen. Dafür kann man sich einfach eintragen und wird dann per Shuttle mit dem Rest der Gruppe zum Strand gefahren, an dem an den Tag und Zeitpunkt die besten Wellen ankommen. Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung! Sehr entspannter Staff, der flexibel auf die Bedürfnisse der Reisenden eingeht. :-) Fritz macht an der Bar auch einen super Job und mixt Drinks nach Belieben, die Küche macht fürs Frühstück und Abendessen ein erstklassiges Buffet. :-) Einzige Kritik wäre, dass man kein „Hotel“ im klassischen Sinne erwarten darf, die Handtücher etc. werden in der Woche nicht gewechselt (ich vermute auf Nachfrage schon). Die Türen sind sehr laut und wenn man etwas leichteren Schlaf hat, macht einen die Küche um 6 Uhr wach, während die Mixer etc. laufen. Beim Anblick des Frühstücks verzeiht man das aber gerne. :-)

This is the best place to spend a week doing water sports, I came a second time! My main sport was windsurfing with Adam E (and the second Adam too!). Adam is super attentive and gives great tips, I learned to do a fancy heli tack super fast! I took an off day to go surfing with Emil, Alex, and Ansan. With their perfectly timed pushes it was so easy to catch the waves. The office staff keep everything so organized, thanks to Katie for helping me check in late and Celina for organizing all the classes. The food is amazing, the cooks Sugar and Salt are so talented and the food is both so healthy and tasty. Thanks again AWS!

*Authentisches Surfcamp* Bei Ankunft wird man von Kathi & Elisa herzlich empfangen, sie zeigen einem erstmal das Camp & erklären grob den Ablauf. Carolina macht das beste Frühstück, Rührei & Croissant gibts jeden morgen, dazu wechselnd Pancake, Lachs & Kuchen. Abends verwöhnen Dominik & Peter mit wechselnder Kulinarik. Hier findet sicher jeder etwas, es gibt immer etwas veganes oder vegetarisches. Super lecker!!! Vielen Dank euch! Fritz & Björn haben den Abend dann mit leckeren Cocktails oder Bier abgerundet, für spezielle Wünsche gab es auch immer Zeit. Surfen war natürlich auch super, in den 5 Tagen haben Angel, Alex, Emil & Ansan viele viele Tipps gegeben & man konnte durch Videoanalyse die Fehler direkt abstellen. Wir haben in der Woche vor Ort schon direkt für September zwei weitere Wochen gebucht. Danke ans ganze Team & bis bald :)

Danke dafür an Alex, Angel, Emil und vor allem Ansan ( Indian Aquaman). Außerdem war das Essen einfach der Hammer! Carolina, Dominik und Peter haben einen jeden Tag aufs neue mit dem Essen überrascht. Bei Fritz und Björn gab es immer den besten Drink.

Great place with great staff! Stayed for a week with my school class, and had 4 amazing surf lessons with the best surf instructors: Alex, Angel, Emil, Bence and Ansan! They were really chill, funny and helpful and guided us from total newbies to green wave surfers. Angel also had a really interesting theory lesson about surfing, how to read wind- and wave forecasts, and how to behave at sea to not make local surfers upset;) The place itself was really nice, they had a large outside couch with room for the whole class which was super nice. The water in the pool was not heated, but I believe guests staying in the summer months and not in march will have no problem with the temperature. If I had to mention one thing in particular I was unhappy with, it has to be that they didn’t change the bathroom towels for a long time even though I asked. Nevertheless, I would really recommend the place, and especially the surf lessons.

Ich habe zwei Mal am Anfängersurfkurs teilgenommen. Einmal bei Angel und Anson. Das andere Mal bei Alex. Es hat super viel Spaß gemacht und die 3 Steps waren sehr hilfreich um endlich auf dem Surfbrett stehen zu können. Die Atmosphäre war entspannt und familiär und man hat jedem der Instructor angemerkt, dass sie mit Herzblut bei der Sache sind. Also nur zu empfehlen!!! Ich würde immer wieder teilnehmen:)

The people staying at the camp are awesome and very like minded so we had an amazing time. The facilities for work are great with fast wifi and many places to have work meetings.

Ebenfalls geht ein großer Dank an Orlando für die Theoriestunde, in welcher neben der Surftheorie auch Videos von einem selbst analysiert wurden. Und zuletzt darf das hervorragende Essen am Morgen und am Abend nicht vergessen werden. Es war ein rundum perfekter Aufenthalt und ich hoffe noch viele weitere Urlaube hier genießen zu können! :)

Wir waren mit einer Gruppe von 20 Personen eine Woche im Camp und hatten jeden Tag Surfunterricht. Zunächst zum Unterricht: Ich war unglaublich erstaunt WIE gut die Lehrer waren! Insbesondere Angel, András, Emil und Leo haben uns SO Klasse betreut und einfach jeden von uns nach einem Tag sicher aufs Brett und nach zwei Tagen mit Lineup im Grünwasser gebracht. Beste Lehrer!! Und zum Camp: es ist nicht einfach so viele Personen so gut zu koordinieren. Aber die Mädels und Jungs von Algarve Watersport haben alles möglich gemacht um uns immer gleichzeitig am Strand zu haben, alle Unterkünfte top zu verteilen, alle Wünsche möglich zu machen und generell einfach immer da zu sein und sich zu kümmern. Ganz großes Lob. Und zu guter Letzt: Ich habe noch nie im Urlaub SO geniales, abwechslungsreiches, gesundes und leckeres Essen gehabt.

I booked a five-day surf course with my husband with Algarve Watersport. To surf, we were always taken to breath-takingly beautiful beaches and within the surf lessons, the kind instructors gave really helpful tips. We never thought we would get so far with surfing!

Extremely recommended, we had an amazing time! We booked 5 days of the surf school and every single on of them was super enjoyable and fun. The people at the camp are very friendly and the instructors are all great, we learned way more surfing than we anticipated initially, all thanks to them. And the beaches they took us to are breath-takingly gorgeous. Hopefully we'll be back soon, thank you all for the fantastic time and introduction to a new hobby! :)

Das Kitesurfcamp ist mit einem Wort ganz einfach zu beschreiben: herausragend! Ich habe schon viele Hostels in verschiedenen Ländern erlebt, aber dieses war mit deutlichem Abstand das Beste. Sehr gesellschaftlich und freundlich in der äußerlichen Gestaltung, das heißt schöne Bänke und Tische zum Essen, viele Sitzgelegenheiten für gemeinsame Abende und Hägnematten zum entspannen. Auch die Zimmer und Badezimmer waren sauber und auf modernstem Stand, selbst die Gardinen wurden bei meinem Besuch frisch ausgewechselt. Was mich noch mehr beeindruckt hat: die tolle Organisation des Camps. Man ist über sein Smartphone immer über alles informiert, bspw. ob Surfstunden zu aktuellen Wetterbedingungen stattfinden können oder welche Aktivitäten anstehen, für welche man sich einschreiben kann. So bietet das Hostel weit mehr als nur die eigentliche Aktivität, für die man es besucht. Wir haben bspw. einen Ausflug zum Klippenspringen gemacht. Aber auch am Abend hat das Camp eine gute Lage, um die Restaurants oder das Nachtleben von Lagos zu entdecken. Es ist nichts an Wünschen offengeblieben. Das Essen im Camp war ebenfalls einfach nur fantastisch. Es gab jeden Abend eine andere Art von Gericht (z.B. italienischer oder griechischer Abend), wobei das Essen auf Restaurant-Niveau zubereitet wird. Das Frühstück lässt ebenfalls nichts zu wünschen übrig. Zusammen mit dem ebenfalls sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Personal war es eine unfassbar schöne Erfahrung, eine Woche Teil dieses Camps sein zu dürfen und man kann sich sowohl als Alleinreisender als auch in einer Gruppe auf eine wirklich tolle Zeit freuen. Viele der Besucher haben sich bereits entschlossen, im kommenden Jahr wieder zurückzukehren und es waren ebenfalls viele Teilnehmer im Camp, die schon einen Aufenthalt bei Algarve Watersports hatten. Ich werde ebenfalls zurückkehren!

This surf (and kite, windsurfing, wingfoiling) camp is simply amazing. The staff goes to great lengths to ensure you have the best possible stay. The instructors are absolute pros and know when and where to go. I am amazed how much I learned in one week thanks to them. Most importantly, I am in awe by the generosity and kindness I experienced here. Rarely one meets such caring people. Having returned home, I can only feel love. I can’t wait to come back. The camp itself is spacious and invites you to relax and meet fellow explorers. Rooms are cleaned daily and beds are very comfortable. The chef there nails the breakfasts and dinners every day. There really isn’t anything more you could ask from a camp. Just go there. You will not regret it.

Der Surfunterricht an sich und unsere Lehrer vor Ort bekommen 5/5 Sterne ! Leo und Andreas sind super geduldig, humorvoll und wissen genau was sie tun. Sie motivieren und geben super Tipps und Anweisungen beim Surfen! Wir sind zum Surfen verschiedene Spots angefahren, die teils ca. 45min von der Surfschule entfernt lagen. So hat man auch noch viel der Westalgarve und deren Nationalparks sehen können. Was leider nicht ganz glatt gelaufen ist, war die Organisation. So wurde uns zB. auf unsere Frage wo und ob wir unseren Van an der Schule parken können nicht geantwortet. Da wir extern (außerhalb des camps) gebucht haben, hatten wir auch die Möglichkeit mit unserem Auto die Spots selbstständig anzufahren und uns dort mit den anderen zu treffen. Dafür sollten wir immer am Tag vorher den geplanten Ort erhalten. Das hat leider nicht gut geklappt und wir haben teilweise keine Rückmeldung erhalten. Trotzdem war alles insgesamt super !

Buscábamos un surfcamp al que poder ir en familia y con opción de hacer surf y windsurf y estamos encantados con la elección. Super flexibles ante cualquier imprevisto, súper atentos y súper amables para cualquier cosa que te pueda hacer falta. ¡Eso sí, es como estar en un campamento de inglés! El personal y las clases, son inglés, si haces surf y te toca Ángel, puedes sentirte afortunado, no solo por el idioma, sino por ser encantador, aunque en general todos los profes de surf han sido geniales con los niños y han estado muy pendientes de ellos en las clases, ya que van con los adultos. Sobre el alojamiento nosotros nos alojamos en bungalow, que en realidad era un miniloft, pero aún mejor que en las fotos. El nuestro no tenía cocina ni nevera, pero como les habíamos pedido uno con nevera al hacer la reserva, el mismo domingo que llegamos, nos compraron e instalaron una. Lo mismo con el desayuno, pedimos nesquik para los niños y al día siguiente lo tenían para el desayuno. Los desayunos y cenas son muy healthies y temáticos, y además te lo puedes llevar al bungalow y si necesitas platos, cubiertos, etc. los puedes coger a cualquier hora del bar. Aunque en general hay gente joven me parece perfecto para ir en familia a pasar una semana con niños medio independientes (los nuestros son de 10 y 8), y estaremos encantados de volver.

What a nice place! The team is really cool and welcoming, for some minor inconvinencies I was running late and even though they had to wait for me they were really understandable, sorry once again for waiting for me!!. Something that surprised me really much is that they look everyday where would be the best place to surf and take us on a ride to that specific spot, even long rides! So for me the price included much more than I expected. The instructor was really aproachable and took good care for each of us, they even divide you in groups depending on your level. I just had a 1 lesson day but they (and the sport) convinced me to come back specifically for a full week experience, they even offer a camp to sleep, hang out, just enjoy your day (they even have a pool)! Such easygoing and loving people. 10/10

had an amazing time here, went from not being able to do a waterstart to doing freestyle tricks such as starting from the sand, making toeside turns and doing crazy jumps all thanks to the sessions with Marcin. He was very professional, made me feel safe in the water, pushed me to make progress but always in a safe way. He was a fabulous instructor that I really can recommend to anyone, every morning I saw Marcin was my instructor I knew it was gonna be a amazing session The sessions were epic! Definitely recommend going here and giving it a try!

Incredibile experience, and for a very reasonable price. I was an absolute beginner and in three days I got to (try to) ride green waves. Thanks a lot to my teachers: Angel, Matteo, and Emil. Kind, professional, funny and always supportive!

Really nice. I came just for kite boarding here. But the camp offers much more than just this. I tried surfing, wake boarding ( behind the boot and cable ), sup, mounten biken and yoga )) perfect place who like to stay active in the holidays ;)

Very disappointed with this organisation. We enquired if it would be possible to rent surfboards and get a transfer to the beach to go surfing as beginners. They said yes and informed us that they would text us with the details the day before. They then contacted us at 3:30pm the day before to say that there had been a mistake and they did not provide surf rental and transfer for beginners. Very frustrated as this left us no time to make alternative plans. They also did not say sorry and did not take responsibility for their error. Extremely poor customer service

Thanks for messing us about for 2 days of our holiday and clearly finding it amusing, better off booking else where as these guys are flaky and you closest you'll get to an apology is sorry not sorry. Adam was a great instructor though, just wish the customer service was up to par.

I booked 4 days of surfing class but could never attend. The reason is that they only confirm the time and place of the meet-up the night before (apparently can be anything between 8-11 o'clock depending on spot conditions). It ended up being 8 in the morning at the location of the camp here on google maps which is in some residential are outside lagos. You basically need a taxi to get there. This is extremely inconvenient if you are joining as a day guest and not as part of the camp. I can not speak about the quality of the instructors or equipment, but communications was sub-par and it is apparent they do not care for day guests and want you to join the camp. I ended up fortfiting the 20€ deposit and went with another surfschool which handled things much better.

Great experience! First, we were in contact with Irina for booking our activity who tried to make it as smooth as possible. Then, we went windsurfing with Adam Erdelyi. Not only was he a great instructor but he also took into account our needs and situation while trying to push us a bit forward. Can't wait to go back!

I've been to this place three times and I can't wait for the next trips. The camp is wonderfully organized. The office (thanks to Celina) helpful, cordial and competent. The surf instructors (Mateo, Angel, Anders - thanks) and kie instructors (Marcin and the rest of the team) are a huge plus of the place - competent, nice and always sharing their passion with joy and angelic patience. It is also necessary to mention the food, which is the best I have ever eaten, including five-star hotels! Seriously! The cook Boris is a miracle worker who makes Indian dishes as well as Italian ones, meaty and vegan - tasing delicious in all cases. The food is different every day, but always outstanding - this is the most appropriate word. In addition, it is adapted to the needs of vegetarians, vegans, people avoiding gluten and lactose. Great applause!

One of the greatest experiences I have had in a long time. I came here for kitesurfing lessons who were absolutely faboulus thanks to Adam and Jacob smiles. In these days, the wind did not always do its jobs and therefore could not always kitesurf. Fortunetaly the team would arrange other activities. I was able to also "learn" windsurf and surf! Which was a great experience since all teachers are super kind. The view at the surf spot I went is really worth a visit. Next to that the hostel felt very luxury. Over the days I slept in a spacious and clean dorm with other fun solo travelers. I guess a great environment attracts great people since after a week the other travelers felt like old friends. Sometimes I did feel that the showers were somewhat cold, but I guess the Wim Hof Method of cold showers should make you happier over the days. Finishing off with the food, every morning I had a great various breakfast and an extremely tasty dinner (pokebowls, hot pot and more). I want to thank the team for the good vibes and calming my crazy mom. Will be coming back for sure!

Yeeah what and awesome Camp!! Thank you guys so much for a really too short week. Your welcome with bbq, all the good food, big and fresh choice of breakfast, smiles, joy and good vibes gave me a feeling like home. Great team, who always have an ear for you. The chilling, dining, pool area and terrace are cozy and clean where it’s nice to hang out with the other guests and have a chat. I can highly recommend the surfing !!! Now I want much more. The instructors András, Mateo and Angel are so patient, helpful (thanks for some rescues of waves) and really good teacher. I still listen 1, 2 3 and weight on the front :D. Thanks for a lot of fun and time for practicing surfing. Also the sunset yoga was an incredible experience, thanks Lizi! I can’t wait to come back :)

So. signed up for 2 days of SUP Wave - fab experience. Marcin is an amazing instructor, just the best in my experience - full of really useful teaching without it seeming like teaching! The front office are super efficient and delightful. The camp is just perfect - the whole setup is so organised and the vibe is lovely. I'm lucky enough to live here and can see myself returning time and again to learn stuff with this amazing crew. Can't wait for the next time :)

We had a real great time at the camp. Right from the beginning we felt very welcome and everyone from the staff were friendly and helpful all the time so the atmosphere around the camp was just great. The bungalow we had was nice and cozy with enough space and our own kitchen. Also i really liked the chilling area in the camphouse, comfortably furnished and perfect to hang out. The teachers for the activities were really professional and supporting so even it didn't really work out for me with kiting i still had a lot of fun and trying other things like windsurfing and SUP was a great experience too. I loved the feeling of a community we had at the camp alongside the people we met during our stay. Walking out the bungalow in the morning felt always really nice because of it, you just knew you gonna meet this guys sitting there and you are going to spend a great day together. With this group it was special and i never experienced it like that before, so special thanks to them! Until next time and cheers from Switzerland, Claudio

Cudowne miejsce. Pozytywni ludzie, przepyszne śniadania i kolacje <3 Dzięki nim zakochałam się w surfingu i kitesurfingu. Dzięki Marcin za organizacje wycieczki po zachodnim wybrzeżu, lunchu na klifach, wycieczki na SUPach o wschodzie słońca. Polecam z całego serca, na pewno tam wrócę :) I came back and didnt change my mind. Delicious and healthy food (thanks Borys, my stomach miss you 😜). Simona, always ready to help with any issue and Angel, the most positive and chill surf instructor. Thanks guys❤️

I loved my time in the camp. I came by myself and never felt lonely. The food, honestly, was sooo soo good, freshly cooked and prepared each day. The only thing in the camp I struggled with were the mattresses…too hard … sorry guys… I have been here to learn kiting and thanks to the instructors Andy, Leo and Lesmona I progressed faster than expected and felt all the time well looked after.

ich bin begeistert und bekomme immer noch ein Lächeln im Gesicht, wenn ich meine Zeit zurückdenke :) meine Reiseplanung war ohne grosse Erwartungen und im Vordergrund stand für mich das Kite surfen zu erlernen und meine Unterkunft war eher Nebensache. Für mich war alles stimmig und konnte meine Zeit dort sehr geniessen! Angefangen von den sauberen und cool einrichteten Zimmern (kürzlich wurden alle renoviert), dem super leckerem Essen (es wurde nie langweilig), das komplette Team (insbesondere Becca) bis zu den Surfkursen und den Instruktoren (herzlichen Dank an Carolin welche bis zum Schluss an mich geglaubt hat ;-) ), war für mich Alles nahezu perfekt. Wer allerdings die Qualitäten eines Viersterne Hotels sucht der ist dort falsch, denn dort läuft alles sehr entspannt und locker ab...und das ist was ich wollte! Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team!!! ...ich komme wieder keine Frage :)

De nombreux cours pris depuis quelques années avec cette école de voile, moniteurs toujours au top, très bons pédagogues et patients. L' école arrive à créer un bon esprit de groupe. Je recommande. Le plan d'eau d'Alvor est rassurant pour les débutants mais souffre de sa popularité, en pleine saison il arrive a saturation.

It is my second time at AWS and it will definitly not be the last time. There is always nice people around, the teachers and staff are great and always helpful and the buffet in the morning and evening is the best! There is also a pool area where you can relax really nice when you need a break from surfing and a lot of Yoga programm. Simply love it :)

We had a great time with this school. We didn't sleep at the camp, just took lessons - windsurfing, surfing and a SUP tour. Everybody was super friendly, communication was extremely easy, groups were small and there was a great vibe overall. I will remember those first experiences on the board for a long time! Thank you :)

I was quite excited to try out this school given all the nice reviews, but unfortunately I did not have a good experience. I had a Windsurfing group "class". I had to quote class because in total I think I had about 5 minutes of actual class and the rest I was left to be on my own. The first hour the instructor Nico simply said "Go and feel the water". We kept going in this classical Windsurf line (one direction and back in the same one). Typically the teacher will give you feedback once you're back to where you started, but Nico simply went to Windsurf on his own. After this one hour I got some nice footwork feedback for a couple of minutes from Nico. This is exactly the kind of feedback I had expected but a lot more often. All the rest of the advice I got I had to directly ask Nico for it otherwise I would get nothing. The equipment also keeps getting smashed around in the Van while being driven there, so it's also not a big surprise that it's not in great condition. The driver was also not wearing a mask (yes, he did eat an apple during the drive, but the rest of the drive without eating was still done without one). Seems like this is a great Kitesurfing school but a below average Windsurfing school, unfortunately.

This summer I joined a few Kite Surfing classes with AWS. Since my friends joined another school I can tell this school is by far the best option. Why? - We had an excellent teacher Jakob: patient, enthusiastic, very clear and helpful - Good knowledge about the weather. We always arrived right when the wind was coming. My friends at another school often came at wrong times. - They had a boat to pick me up if I wasn't able to return - They had multiples kites and we often switched when the wind changed

Gem in the heart of Lagos! 2 friends and I went to AWS not knowing what to expect, not only we had the best time but we met the incredible and welcoming crew, we learned how to kitesurf with the great Adam, made a bunch of friends... I really recommend AWS if you are looking to be part of laid back and professional community for a few days. Would go back asap.

I attended last week my first ever surf lessons and it was amazing!!! My instructor, Mateo, was always super professional and very kind, he was patient with me, as a truly beginner... After I was only attending surf lessons I decided to move to the Camp to stay all day long with such an amazing community of incredible people! Also yoga with Liz at the sunset and at the terrace in front of the ocean left me simply speechless... I will come back as I can!

I booked 2 day windsurf lesson with this school. The equipment and the spot were good. However, the staff was unmotivated and the price is too high for what kind of service you get for that. The first hour of the lesson you are building the equipment yourself instead of spending this time windsurfing. I had a problem as i got into the strong current and teacher did not come to help me, so i had to self-rescue myself and walk back to the spot - for that i do not need to book a lesson!

Such a wonderful, wonderful people and amazing place. I spent the best week of the year there. Feels like home and tastes like home too :) I seriously was getting up for breakfast more than for surfing haha! You can be sure that you will learn how to surf and they will take care of your comfort. I will definitely be back next year. If you have doubts, don't hesitate any longer, I recommend it as much as I can. Thank you guys!

The atmosphere in the house is also great, you can always find someone to talk to and the staff is so nice you feel like one of them. Oh, and the food was so good that I did never had dinner in the city.

Wij hebben met het CIOS Haarlem-Hoofddorp (keuzedeel surfen) een fantastische week gehad! Dit was voor ons de eerste keer bij Algarve Watersport en zeker niet de laatste. Een sfeervolle en gezellige accommodatie, lekker ontbijt, lunch en diners. Daarnaast motiverende en bevlogen instructeurs, die voor elk niveau uitdagingen gaven. Dankzij onze gastvrouw Caro Caspers, werden we naar de mooiste surfspots gebracht en kregen we les in kiten, surfen, suppen en yoga. Kortom een leerzame en inspirerende week waarin alle Watersportskills aan bod zijn gekomen. Tot volgend jaar!

De crew hier is super aardig, sociaal gezellig en en heel erg flexibel. De instructeurs zijn ervaren en geven op een leuke manier les. Kite surfen en suppen je kan alles leren hier. En na elke dag hard werken in en op het water staat er een heerlijk avondmaal klaar. Ik raad Algarve Water Sports zeker aan!!!! Je zal niet teleurgesteld zijn🤙🤙

We stayed at the camp for 6 nights and booked for 5 days activity. The communication from the camp was very good and we were made to feel welcome/ at home from the moment we arrived. The crew are amazing and we had a great week. Unfortunately, we didn't have the right wind conditions for our activity for each day, but the crew arranged and ensure other activities we could do. It was great way to explore the surrounding area too. The food was fantastic! Breakfast and dinner. We also got upgraded to a bungalow from a double room, which was really nice. Overall, highly recommend the camp. Thank you very much

Sie haben die richtigen Tipps gegeben, um uns ein Level weiter zu bringen und das alles mit viel Ruhe und Geduld.

My boyfriend and I went here twice: once for a wind surf lesson for him, and once for a SUP tour together. His wind surf instructor very kindly got out another board for me and let me paddle around the lagoon while they did his lesson, which was so nice! And our SUP tour in the caves was fantastic. I highly recommend the 7:00 a.m. tour. Yeah, it's early, but you'll get out there before everyone else and have the caves to yourself!

Kite-Verleih wurde absolut perfekt und professionell durchgeführt. Von der Anfrage bis zur Material-Ausgabe über Reviereinweisung und Hilfestellung vor Ort. Sehr unkompliziert und pragmatisch - genau so soll es sein! Erster Tag 80 Euro, Folgetage 60 Euro. Tolles und motiviertes Team! Ich kann den Verleih und auch das Lernen in der Lagune sehr empfehlen - Stehrevier - habe auch dabei einen guten Eindruck beobachten können. Wir sind mit dem eigenen Auto angefahren und haben uns einfach hinter die Transport-Vans gehängt. Wenn mein Kommentar geholfen/gefallen hat, dann bitte ein 👍 Gefällt mir. Danke!

This surfcamp is a place that you do not want to leave again - almost everybody extends its stay:-) You feel welcome like at home. The Staff is very friendly and has always a smile for you. The entire crew helps with advices and you never feel like bothering them. Jenci is a great cook and spoils you every evening (except Wednesdays and Saturdays, the sadest days because there's no Jenci-diner) with delicious food. Eli's the sunshine in the morning and prepars healthy breakfast with detox smoothies, porridge, eggs etc. that gives you the energy for the day and for your lessons of windsurf, kite, surf... Niko, windsurf instructor, knows a lot about this sport and knows how to teach it to you. With his calm but profound teaching methods you really learn fast and easy. Definitively a place to go and stay! You'll meet great people and have an unforgettable time enjoying your favourite sports!
