RETREAT DESCRIPTION
Enhance your Stand Up Paddle Sup-surfing skills with a week of personalized SUP coaching in one of Portugal’s premier surf destinations. This retreat offers a unique opportunity to refine your technique, build confidence in the water, and experience the thrill of Sup-surfing at some of the best surf spots around Peniche.
Located approximately 100 km north of Lisbon, Peniche is a vibrant coastal town in Portugal’s central-western region, renowned worldwide for its exceptional beaches and consistent surf conditions.

We had such a great time at Nika Paddle surf camp that it is hard to express it in words.
We learned a lot from Leo because he was an amazing teacher. During the camp, I felt like I was getting better at surfing and I was getting more comfortable.
The place where we stayed was also excellent.
I had the best time ever! Highly recommended
