After picking you up in Porto Covo we head down to the surf truck in Sines for a quick briefing and surfboard selection.
We'll end the day with a first surf session and a group dinner or barbeque!
It's time to explore the coast around Porto Covo and jump in the water for a surf session.
We'll have lunch at the beach and then have another session to enjoy the sunset.
Starting the day with a yoga session is the best way to prepare for the next surf session.
After the surf we'll explore the beautiful cliffs around Arrifana and have dinner at the truck.
We'll explore the spots in the Aljezur area and get in the water for a surf session with video analysis.
After dinner we'll enjoy the night watching the videos we've taken during the surf sessions.
We'll spend the day in search for the best waves. After lunch we'll visit the town of Vila do Bispo and then paddle on our surfboards to visit Lagos caves (if the Ocean conditions allow it).
Let's explore the surf spots of the south and visit the stunning Cape S. Vicente the southwesternmost point of mainland Europe. We'll end the day with dinner in Lagos.
After our daily breakfast we'll watch the videos and photos that we've taken during the week.
We'll say goodbye to you at Lagos train station.
You will spend the week in a Mercedes truck with a special system that allows the walls and the ceiling to expand upwards, thus transforming the truck into a double-decker hotel on wheels.
Daniela and Eduardo be your hosts and surf guides for the week. They love surfing and traveling with their Surf Truck... and you will love it too!
On the top floor of the truck you find the rooms: 4 shared double rooms with bunk bed, and 1 private double room with a double bed. We recommend you the private double room if you're traveling with a partner. Every room comes with air conditioning and a locker.
On the bottom floor you find a living room with couches and a table (and a projector to check the surf footage in the evening!). The kitchen is fully equipped and you can cook your own meals. Also on the bottom floor, there is a toilet and – in the room next to it – a bathroom with a nice warm shower.
On the outside terrace you can chill on the bean bags, relax and enjoy beautiful sunsets.
The Surf Truck maximum capacity is 8 people.

The Algarve surf spots were the last to be discovered in Europe and although it doesn’t contain the classic reefs of central Portugal, the potential for good, uncrowded waves is high.
Average wintertime swells on the west coast are around 8-10ft, with 12-15ft maximums, whilst summer rarely goes flat and regularly gets up to double overhead.
The south coast offers perfect shelter with offshore winds and a filtered swell although it is usually flat in summer. Tides vary from 4-12ft.
