Surf & Kite Camp

Why limit yourself to only one watersport? Combination camps of two and more watersports are our specialty at AWS. Go surfing with us on the clean waves the Algarve has to offer and learn kiteboarding on the flat lagoon close to Lagos all in one week.

Surf Course

Beginners

Our Team of friendly and experienced instructors (all certified by BSA or FPS) will introduce you to surfing. At the Algarve we can choose of lots of different beaches to pick the apropriat depending on the conditions and skill level. At the beginning of the course you will learn the basics about waves, currents, tides and equipment, how to paddle and handle the board in the water without risking your and the others surfers health. We usually get everybody up on the first day and with the first takeoff you start into a new outdoor sport passion.The beginners use foam surfboards for safety and full length wetsuits to stay warm and confortable.

Advanced

If you have already some surfing experience we offer coaching to reach your personal goals. If you want to ride on the shoulder of the wave, do bottom and top turns, duckdiving or ride more vertical, our coaches will be happy to paddle out with you and help you to bring your surfing to the next level. We offer boards from NSP and Bic in different sizes depending on your level and weight.

Kiteboarding Lessons

Our students and camp participants are coached by multilingual, certified and well-trained IKO and VDWS-Instructors. Our unique, up-to-date teaching methods are supported by waterproof walkie-talkies, boat assistance and teaching with video camera. Naturaly modern kiteboarding equipment from our partners: Cabrinha, Best kiteboarding and pro-limit is included for the duration of the course. Our students are taught in small groups never bigger than 4 students per teacher. At the end of the theoretic and practical part of the course we offer a certification by IKO or VDWS-Standard allowing to rent equipment at kite stations world wide. For advanced kiteboarders with own equipment we offer a rescue and shuttle service on the kite lagoon.

Kite Spots

Our kite school spot is a big lagoon very close to Lagos. Depending on the tides the water is between knee and shoulder deep making it easy to learn the basics of kiteboarding. The “Nortada” the Portuguese north wind gets accelerated by the surrounding landscape which allows wind speed up to 20 knots while other parts of the Algarve are calm. This is the reason the PKRA (the Kiteboarding Pro Tour) stops here once per year. We take our clients by boat to an island in the middle of the lagoon. This place offers steady wind and lots of room for maximum safety and perfect learning conditions. Beginners to pros love the flat, warm water around the island. Pictures from the lagoon...
