Unique and memorable 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.

OUR surf camps
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!

localização
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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Friendships and memories for life

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.
