More Info
Who is this for?
This camp is designed for intermediate and advanced surfers who are independent in the water and are able to paddle out in rip currents and surf waves up to 7ft.
For entry into this camp, an intermediate level of surfing is accepted, but proficiency in paddling and independence in the water is required to fully utilize the camp's structure and Gui's expertise.
Please note that at this level we will not be able to push you onto waves as that is detrimental to your progress.

I did a five day surf camp with Gui and can’t recommend it enough. Perfect for true intermediate surfers (independent and confident in the water, can paddle into and catch head high waves, working on turns and probably been surfing at least a few years regularly), who want to improve, all the way up to top level surfers wanting to refine their technique, work on manoeuvres, or getting ready for a competition. He was ranked no.4 in the world at one point, so there really is no upper limit. Each day is a full day of professional training with 2, 2hr surfs, video analysis, surfskating and workshops. He took me along to a local apnea class too, which is well worth it if you can make it. You need a good level of fitness to get the most out of the camp and will leave fitter than when you started. Gui really cares that you improve too and gives you all the tools to continue to do so after you leave.
He is well known and respected in the area, as well as his girlfriend Julia, who takes care of a lot behind the scenes as well as doing a lot of the filming in all weathers!
If you are looking for a proper training camp, want to improve your surfing, are at an intermediate or above level and willing to put in the work, then this is the one for you.
Highly recommend Gui Fonseca's surf camps for all levels of surfers. Gui's camps are an awesome place to improve your skills and experience Portuguese hospitality. Gui and his girlfriend Julia are excellent hosts and make sure that all your needs are met. You get intensive training in and out of the water, designed to improve your performance and confidence on the waves, in the best spots in Portugal. Gui's passion for surfing shines through and he makes you strive to improve while having tons of fun at the same time.
I can fully recommend this camp! The best choice you can make! Gui is an amazing coach, he knows all the spots around and always chooses the best one for given day. His technical knowledge about surfing will help you progress in shorter time. Thanks to surfskate you can repeat surf movement when you are in controlled environment which makes it easier to repeat it in the water. Proper video analysis after every session will help you to find your mistakes and then work on them. Amazing experience 12/10. Can’t wait to be back to progress even more!
I did two surf training sessions per day for 10 days. Although Gui – being a pro surfer - prefers long term coaching of advanced surfers, he did his very best to fulfill my needs. He picked me up and was always on time. He spent two full hours in the water with me with his girlfriend making awesome videos, which he analysed for me in his home. He compleately adapted to my wishes and gave me the possibility to gain more confidence in the water by letting me discover a new spot on my own, making me practise some drills in the water and giving a very enlightening surfskate lesson. Gui is very friendly and helpful by nature. I can highly recommend a coaching with him!
Gui’s love of surfing is infectious. He shares his knowledge and experience and motivates me to become a better surfer. Every day of training with Gui is challenging and fun.
