Level 1 is for those who have never surfed or haven't surfed for a while and want to go over the basics again. In Level 1, surf lessons often take place on the beautiful beach of Foz do Lizandro, which is only a few minutes away from the camp. You are surrounded by epic cliffs, beautiful nature and the sparkling Atlantic Ocean. After your surf session, you can visit one of the charming beach cafés for great coffee, local treats, fresh smoothie bowls and good vibes.
LEVEL II
The surf camp is located in Ericeira, the surf capital of Europe. The great waves make this place perfect for those who want to take their surfing to the next level. In level 2, green waves are surfed, often at Foz do Lizandro beach. As the beach is only a few minutes away from the camp, you also have the opportunity to surf on your own at any time in addition to the surf lessons. Surf at sunrise or sunset and experience the thrill of improving your skills in a breathtaking setting.
LEVEL III
As the surf capital of Europe, Ericeira offers a wide selection of fantastic surf spots. Surf world-class waves in a beautiful setting and enjoy the great surf vibes. Level 3 is designed to make you feel confident to surf most breaks. Together with the other participants, you will go to the best spot in the area every day, depending on the conditions.
Lapoint's highly experienced surf instructors will challenge you to get out of your comfort zone and become an even better surfer.
COMBINE THEORY & PRACTICE
In addition to the intensive surf courses, you will also learn the theoretical side of surfing. At least one of your surf sessions will be filmed to give you visual feedback. When we analyze the footage together, you will be shown some clearly defined areas where you can work on and improve.
In addition to the surf courses, you can also look forward to daily intensive workouts on this fitness trip to Portugal. Train directly on the camp grounds on the outdoor training area. All equipment is available to you at all times 🙂
Fitness & Co. in fantastic surroundings: fitness is really fun.
For you as Travelling Athlete the following fitness program is included in this fitness trip:
Unlimited access to the outdoor fitness area / outdoor box
Optionally bookable on site: Ourdoor fitness courses (2x per week / €15 per course), personal training (€45) & yoga (5x per week / €12 per course) | subject to minimum number of participants & availability
Access to the Skate Bowl and much more.
Help with the organization of WODs in a nearby CrossFit box
CROSSFIT, OUTDOOR FITNESS & PERSONAL TRAINING
In addition to the surfing and yoga program, this fitness trip also offers all Travelling Athletes various opportunities to work out completely. Look forward to the outdoor training area directly on the camp grounds, which is available for free training at any time. From ropes and barbells to tires, you can look forward to an extensive range of training equipment.
CROSSFIT & PERSONAL TRAINING
Various nearby CrossFit boxes enable all Travelling Athletes to take part in sweat-inducing CrossFit courses / WODs during their fitness trip. If you would like to work on your individual skills even more intensively, you can also request a personal training session with a qualified coach in the local box (including CrossFit Boarland). From experience: Due to the numerous activities as well as the optimal training opportunities in the camp, going to the CrossFit box, which is approx. 3 km away, is often difficult to reconcile in terms of time & not necessarily recommended.
PROFESSIONAL & HOLISTIC
Our local partner addresses YOUR individual goals and needs, i.e. for you more confidence in your performance as well as further tools for a constant, healthy & fitter lifestyle. In addition to surf lessons, this trip scores with professional fitness & yoga sessions (optional). As Travelling Athlete , you also have the option of personal training sessions to individually tailor your abilities. Relaxing massages can also be booked to ensure that you can recover immediately.
Be a Travelling Athlete & get fit on vacation.
You also have the opportunity to take part in numerous yoga classes. Those who have already tried surfing and yoga can confirm that these two sports complement each other perfectly. The balance, mindfulness, flexibility and strength that the two combine create a powerful synergy for your body and soul. So you can look forward to relaxing moments where you can completely unwind.
YOGA & MEDITATION
The yoga instructors on site will take your knowledge into account and teach you how surfing and yoga go together perfectly in various yoga classes. You will learn physical exercise, breathing techniques and meditation, complemented by some of the philosophical teachings of yoga. In addition, you will become more aware of your body and mind as different styles of yoga are taught. Body awareness, combined with breathing techniques, is the key to improving your surfing. You will be taught how to adapt these skills to your surfing style, making you even better able to surf different waves.
MEDITATION
You will also learn various techniques for meditating in your own time. In short: meditation is to the mind what physical exercise is to the body. It is an attempt to slow down the pace of everyday life in order to detach yourself from the outside world and connect with your inner self.
WORKSHOPS
The camp also hosts various workshops such as the "Upside down" workshop, partner workshops and more. Compared to a standard yoga class where you focus on your own practice, the workshops are more interactive and more focused on joint exploration.
YOGA STYLES
In principle, 3 different yoga styles are taught at Lapoint Camp: Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin Yoga. Different styles will challenge you to unfold your mind, connect in new ways and explore your own practice.
