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?

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.

"My concept is based in the modernization of designs of the 1960s and 1970s, inspired by the work of California's legendary shapers."
