If you are taking the Level 1 or 2 beginner packages you will not need to bring equipment because the Surfcamp de Calima provides it. In any case a 6'0'’ should be enough. Although a bigger board (6'8" or 7'2") could be useful during big winter days.
6 Are there any Surf Shops close to the camp?
In Sagres and Lagos you can find a lot of surf shops and places to buy souvenirs.
7 How is the nightlife in Algarve?
The kite camp is located very close to Lagos and Sagres. The nightlife in those towns can be quite exciting, especially during summer time... but don’t forget that in the morning you’ll be kiteksurfing again!!
8 When is the best season for beginners and experienced surfers?
The summer is great for beginners and intermediate surfers because the waves are not as powerful. The winter is the best time for seasoned surfers since the ocean delivers strong winter swells which result in wave faces regularly higher than 6-8 foot. Beginners find at that time good waves at the south coast.
9 What am I going to learn in a beginner course?
In a beginner level course, you are going to learn the basics of surfing: get familiar with the ocean, the safety measures to keep when in the water, a theory introduction to the sea cycles (tides, swells, seasons etc.), how to paddle in and pass the whitewater, how to paddle into the waves, how to stand up on your board and SURF!
10 What am I going to learn in an intermediate course?
In an intermediate course, we’re going to correct all the bad habits you could have acquired during your free surfing sessions, to perfection your style, to read the wave, the sets, the wall and the lip, to do the right movement in the right section of the wave, all the tricks useful to the good execution of the basic maneuvers as bottom turns, cut backs, and why not, some radical snap!
