Gota Dagua Surf Camp was such an amazing experience where I accomplished all of my goals and more. My private room was comfortable and aesthetic with a balcony and lemon tree close enough to pick the lemons. Everything was very well-organized and I learned so much from the ocean theory class, video analysis, and immediate feedback in the water from the surf instructors. Being able to be with the same small group and the same surf instructor helped me to improve a lot over the course of the week. Pietro was great at noticing even the small details that resulted in immediate improvements in my surfing. The surf-skate class with Romi was a great opportunity to learn how to improve my surf skills even when I am land-locked. The location of the camp is the perfect mix of chill beach vibes with convenient access to nearby Lisbon. The social hosts and Anastacio were incredibly welcoming and you could tell they all enjoyed each other and their work. As a solo traveler, I never felt alone and have come away with life-long surf friends from all over the world. I have already booked my trip to return later this year and plan to return to re-unite with my new friends again next year.
