Your longboard surf retreat in portugal
The Classy Ride
About
You will expand your knowledge about longboard surfing, as well as evolve your skills in 7 days of intense workshops and video-analysis.
Yoga lessons, longboard skate lessons, delicious food, cozy stay, free surf sessions during sunsets, events with local community - all this will help you reach your highest potential as a longboarder and get the inspiration you needed.
And hey, we are building the program based on the best conditions for a longboard session, and not the best time to have breakfast. As much as it's a fun trip, it's the one where you WILL progress, and that takes some effort and willpower to wake up before the sunrise. ;-)
We are taking care of ALL the organisation, so you can focus only on your longboarding journey and ENJOY the experience. Are you ready?

Instructors
Filipe Seixas
Born in Lisbon, Filipe started surfing at the age of 8 after getting hit by a longboard while bodyboarding. The surfer let him try the longboard and since then, he fell in love with the feeling of gliding on a wave. Most of his life decisions were made with the main priority of spending as much time in the ocean as possible.
Started competing recently in Longboard festivals, with his best results being a 4th place in the National Cup and 3rd place in the Gliding Barnacles international surf festival.
Filipe also competed in downhill skateboard, with the 1st place at Copa Centro Oeste in Brazil, a few 2nd and 3rd places in local and regional events, and a 13th place in the Red Bull Vista Chinesa world championship stage in Rio de Janeiro, at age 15.

Polina & Ruba
Hi, we are Polina and Ruba.
We have been living on the Portuguese coast for several years now. Surfing is what brought each one of us to this country in the first place, and later on it's what made us such close friends. Sharing waves and having fun in the water is a feeling that is hard to describe. We just wish everyone to experience it at some point in their surf life.
Longboard surfing came into our lives not so long ago, but this didn't stop us from falling in love with it so quickly and hopelessly. :-) Nah, we are not great surfers really, but the passion we have for it is huge. And we believe it's all about enJOYing what you do, no matter the level you have.
Our love for sharing waves is what brought us to creating this unique program for longboard lovers. We are gathering the best team and partners to help you achieve what you are dreaming about, and most importantly, have fun together.
