NALU Portugal Experience: Immersive Surf Retreat
This October, we’re offering a retreat unlike any other – a focused and immersive surf coaching experience designed to help you make real, measurable progress in your surfing skills. Whether you’re paddling out for the first time or refining advanced techniques, this retreat is for surfers of all levels who are serious about improving.
At the heart of this retreat is an emphasis on high-quality coaching and progression. With daily surf sessions guided by top-level coaches, you’ll receive personalized feedback on your technique and form. But that’s not all – we incorporate video analysis and theory classes to give you a deeper understanding of your surfing. Learn to read the ocean, refine your positioning, and build the confidence to tackle challenges in and out of the water. This combination of practice, analysis, and knowledge ensures that your time on the waves is not just fun but transformational.
You will have plenty of water time – 6Â sessions in different spots – plus the chance to do some supervised free-surfing.
This retreat is limited to just 16 participants for FOUR COACHES (!!)Â allowing us to provide a highly individualized experience. With 4 experienced coaches on hand, we work closely with you, addressing your unique strengths and areas for growth. Even during group sessions, our focus is on tailored progression, ensuring that everyone feels supported in their journey.
ACCOMMODATION & SURFING
You will stay at Santa Cruz Surf Lodge, a beautiful, high-end surf house. It is the perfect place for surfers to find a lovely balance between surf lessons, chill out and relax.
The Lodge features a cozy living room and beautiful garden with swimming pool and BBQ station, lush grass for relaxing in the sun after a long day of surf or to practice yoga and meditation. Right in front of the lodge there is space for parking.
Surflodge Santa Cruz is located just 5 minutes away from the beach. It is just a short walk or bike ride from the center of Santa Cruz. This seaside village gives you the opportunity to try local Portuguese restaurants and bars.
Santa Cruz offers beautiful beaches with great uncrowded surfing within short distance. In case of weak conditions at our local beach, it is strategically located between Ericeira and Peniche. This way, we will be able to find a suitable beach for the day thanks our local coaches’ knowledge from Santa Cruz Surf School.
This school will collaborate with NALU during the entire retreat and provide material, transfers and experienced coaches. Coach Daniele Moscardini will be assisting every class, together with 3 additional local coaches. All Coaches from Santa Cruz Surf School are either L2I ISA/10+ years experienced instructors and they teach and coach up to pro/competitive level surfing. Please remember that as NALU we are guests at this location and therefore, Santa Cruz Surf School’s coaches are the one in charge for operations.
