Surf, CrossFit & Yoga Week on Portugal's Silver Coast

A typical day starts with breakfast, then a coach-led CrossFit session broken into warm-up, main workout and cool-down. After that you're in the water for a two-hour surf lesson: safety and technique on the sand first, then practice in the waves with an instructor. The afternoon is open — take an extra surf session, skate, do a mobility or yoga class, or just sit on the beach. Evenings close with stretching or a full yoga class, a group dinner, and time hanging out together.

The surf coaching runs six sessions across the week, all with certified instructors, and works on technique and ocean awareness rather than just pushing you into waves. The CrossFit WODs are scaled, so beginners and experienced lifters train in the same session at different loads. On the CrossFit & Surf package there's also guided cold exposure in the mornings and sauna access three times a week for recovery.

Shark's Lodge itself has one single room, ten doubles, two twins, five triples and one quadruple — every room has its own private bathroom and soundproof doors, which matters when you're sharing with a group and getting up early. Mattresses are thick. Breakfast is included every morning on both packages; on the 7 Nights RESET option all meals are covered.

Beyond the scheduled training there's plenty to fill free time: kayaking, SUP, climbing, scuba diving, trips out to the Berlenga Islands, a surfboard factory tour, and a visit to the walled town of Óbidos and its castle. Evenings often turn into sunset hangouts, beach bonfires, mocktail or cocktail nights and group dinners with Portuguese wine. The camp is run by coaches with more than 30 years of experience whose programmes have put through 600+ teachers, 400+ surf instructors and 20,000+ participants.

What separates this from a standard surf camp is the training volume on land. Most surf weeks are surf-only; here you get a structured strength and conditioning programme alongside the water time, plus daily yoga or mobility work, which is unusual at this price. Flights and airport transfers are not included, but the team sends step-by-step instructions for shuttles, public transport and taxis from Lisbon.
