About Surfing
Humans are drawn to nature, and surfing is a sport that relies on Nature!
It is dependent on the waves, timing of the day, the ebb and flow of the tide.
Surfing creates the feeling of something greater then oneself, the power of the ocean, the vastness and the scenery around us, which connects surfers to the Earth and each other.
There is a sense of healing that comes from the Ocean, from the salt water itself or the peace one feels while in the vast blue Sea.

We believe on the Ocean´s natural therapeutic benefits, together with the practice of ridding the waves, provides not only an overall fitness to the body but as well an incredible happiness to each one.
Surfing is not only a sport, but a connection with nature and oneself!
