Your longboard surf retreat in portugal

The Classy Ride

How it all started...
The retreat co-creators, Polina, founder of ConsciSea, and Ruba have been living on the Portuguese coast for several years now. Longboard surfing came into their lives not so long ago, but love for sharing waves is what brought them to create this unique program for longboard lovers. Gathering the best team and partners to help you achieve what you are dreaming about, and most importantly, have fun together.
About retreat
7 days of intense workshops and video-analysis, yoga, balance board, delicious food, free surf sessions during sunsets - all this will help you reach your highest potential as a longboarder and get the inspiration you needed.

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 organization, so you can focus only on your longboarding journey and ENJOY the experience. Are you ready?
This unique retreat is designed for those who want to master their longboard surfing skills and want to share waves with fellow longboard lovers.

Unlike other camps, our program is made for people who can catch waves on their own. Whether you are already working on your steps or simply surfing down the green wave, you are at the right place*.

*If you are unsure about your level - reach out to us, and we'll take time to talk with you about it.

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.
Head instructor
Filipe is one of the main drivers for the recent longboard resurgence in the region of Peniche, striving to
develop a community, with good values of respect, cooperation and sharing.

He will be sharing his experience and knowledge in the following topics

- How waves work: Where, how, and what to look for.
- How boards work: Main difference in shapes, fins, curves. How weight change affects board
performance
- Basic techniques: Efficient paddle, functional take off variations, turning, trimming and cross stepping
- Importance of visualization and exercises
- Surf etiquette and safety.
