surf camps BY DR. BERNARD
Your dream starts here. We create unique and memorable moments, as we mix surfing with unmissable experiences, social activities and local flavors: unique moments full of sunshine, friendship, laughter and many, many activities - surfing, skateboarding, pool, bikes, slack line - everything that a true hero of the sea is entitled to.
The day begins with a fine breeze on the horizon and the bright tide, waving and singing to you, like mermaids. You grab the sand with your feet, feel the sun on your face and the first contact of cold water on your skin. The tide came in and the perfect waves came! I can't take it anymore, you have to get in! And there it is, coming right at you the perfect wave. The moment you've dreamed of! It's yours!
On the sand, your friends applaud and all you think about is the "diazasso" that was revealed today. And how everything you learned was well worth it!

Unique and unforgettable experiences
Dr. Bernard's lifestyle philosophy is based on 3 pillars: good food and drink, everything we eat, see, hear and feel, we try to make it positive, tasty, enjoyable, fun, sustainable and healthy; the second pillar is the force that moves us, based on Surfing as a driving force of well-being and a driver of relationships, but also on yoga and fitness; The last pillar concerns our innermost being, our thoughts, emotions, and how to feed them in the most positive way.
Our mission is to turn our passion for surfing into unforgettable adventures. Catching waves, creating memories and sharing smiles - surfing as an engine of experiences and a stimulant of interpersonal relationships. We create unique and memorable moments. We mix surfing with unmissable experiences, social activities and local flavors: unique moments full of sunshine, friendship, laughter and many activities all that a true hero of the sea is entitled to. That's how we treat our surfers. Like true heroes of the sea who master the most incredible waves.
RIDE THE WAVE
A perfect blend of relaxation, adventure and self-discovery.
Live an unforgettable experience, where we combine the tranquility of yoga
with the thrill of surfing, to create a truly transformative journey

location
Costa da Caparica
An authentic part of Portugal, here we find the perfect waves and conditions for learning regardless of the level of each student.
Our favorite surf spot is just 1 minute walk from our Camp. Costa da Caparica is situated on the south coast of Portugal, a 15-minute drive from Lisbon. This region of the country offers a genuine cultural experience, beaches of clear and fine sand, warm waters, and stunning nature. Living carefree outdoors by the sea or inside it will leave anyone re-energized and full of good memories.
The coast of Caparica is known for its consistent surfing and high-quality waves, and there is no shortage of options for surfers who arrive in this area. The waves are gentle and suitable for beginners during the summer and get bigger during the spring and fall.
social hosts
Feel good with us
Something that we find very special about our surf camps is that we are first and foremost social hosts at work. The social aspect is a big part of camp life, and that makes our surf camps perfect for solo travelers as well. It’s a great place to meet new people. Even so, everyone does what they want, in their own way.
guests, STAFF & family
The best people
The best thing that will happen to you in our surf camps is all the amazing people you will meet, coming from all walks of life. People from all over the world with a common interest and passion for surfing, travel and adventure connect at our surf camps in unique and memorable moments.
Spending time together on the water is an amazing way to connect with other people and that’s why there are so many lasting connections made every day at our camps and classes. New best friends, new surf buddies, new girlfriends or boyfriends and so on. In fact, this is one of the things that gives us the most pleasure to see and in the end, the interpersonal development of each one.

work & travel
A home for digital nomads
Not only is a surf camp a great place for an amazing surf vacation, but it’s also a great option for digital nomads to combine work with life in a surfer’s paradise. We have a large coworking space where you can work before and after catching waves. Work-life balance can’t be better, can it?

SUSTAINABILITY
The Sea is our home. We’re leaving it better than we found it.
We make a commitment to our ocean, beaches and community. They are our playground, our home and our livelihood. Let’s leave them better than we found them. This means that all our employees, friends and guests help with recycling and other actions in favor of the environment. Every week there are cleaning and recycling activities on the beaches and Dr. Bernard equipment to ensure that our home remains as it should be.
Destroying the waves does, not destroying the beaches.
Living the dream
Our Work&Surf packages allow you to combine online work with the fulfillment of your dream of living surfing and living your best work life/surf holidays at our camp. Through co.living and co.working, you’ll connect with like-minded people and be part of a community that doesn’t just live on Fridays, but makes every day count. It’s the perfect place for digital nomads to make the most of their work-life balance.
The best of both worlds
Explore the best of both worlds with our Yoga & Surf packages. The great synergy between the two is unique, as both yoga and surfing incorporate mindfulness, flexibility, and strength. The combination of these activities will make you progress to limitless levels, both on the surfboard and on the yoga mat, while also becoming more aware of our connection between body and mind. Immersed in nature, the ocean and good vibes, we have the perfect setting for a week of well-being that will give you a very positive boost.
Surf adapted to your level
In our surf camps, everyone is welcome. You can be a beginner or an experienced surfer, you will still enjoy the unique vibe of a surf camp with us. We offer surfing for levels 1, 2,3 and also packages for the more advanced surfers. Learn to read the sea and waves better, get more comfortable in what is, after all, your environment, and get individual feedback on the areas you need to improve.
Friendships and memories for life
Your stay at the surf camp will not only focus on surf lessons and honing your skills on the board, but it will also provide you with an unforgettable adventure off the waves. You will be invited to our home, away from home, and here you will meet like-minded people, who you will call friends for life. At surf camp, the activity and activities don’t stop, and you won’t stop either.
