[cid:055a425c-7645-47ed-981e-22eaf0d474a6] Requirements: We encourage beginners to apply however this trip is intended for intermediate to advanced surfers who will be given first priority. There will be some bigger breaks out there, so we’re looking for people who have had experience surfing. If we do take beginners there is no guarantee of surf everyday in particularly dangerous breaks. You are qualified if: You can stand on a wave consistently You feel confident paddling out past the break You feel relatively comfortable turning down a wave Outside of technical skills, Portugal can still be a demanding trip! We are looking for people to be flexible and ready for adventure! Because of the nature of surfing, you will be largely responsible for your own safety and play a part in keeping everyone safe. We will be staying in modest accommodations (tents), cooking our own food, and taking one-two vans. There WILL be surprises. You might get exhausted and take a day off the water. There might be sharks. You’ll probably see a seal. The conditions might be unsafe and we might spend all day huddled in a tent looking into each others eyes -- or driving to one of the many state parks and natural wonders in Portugal.
