At the beginning of a new season with still all the time (and money) to plan your perfect summer trip, it can seem as if there are more possibilities than drops in the sea. Especially when you’re not that confident about taking to the water on your own, but prefer some professional guidance as surf camps offer. So, dedicated to meet our readers’ needs, we accept the challenge to check some of them out for you and report on your behalf. Or something like that – *WINK*…

This year, our German ed was invited to join the Roxy Week at the Jah Shaka Surf Camp on the Western Algarve of Portugal. Claiming to be “THE best equipped camp in Portugal”, they’re prepared for any wish a surfers’ heart could have down here, from a huge range of board sizes and shape, to long- and skateboards (oh yes!!), various styles of wetsuits as well as an FCS test center.

Next to everything surf, they also offer a wide range of extra activities, such as SUP excursion and sunset yoga, which are already included in their girls only week from May 18th-25th.

And since there are still a couple of spots left, you can still join us for a week of early summer fun down south!
