Surf Apnea course
Includes theory on apnea, surf apnea, physiology, marine mammal reflex, respiratory cycle, lung measurements, and anaerobic training. Dry exercises focus on the respiratory cycle and static apnea. The pool session covers static apnea, apnea with an elevated heart rate, and wave simulation.
By working on all these aspects together, you will better control your lung capacity and gain confidence in your surf sessions, having more control over the time you can spend underwater in motion after a wipeout.
Materials
We provide all the necessary material for the course, although you can choose to use your own equipment. This includes a wetsuit (optional booties, hood, and gloves), mask and snorkel, yoga mat and a notebook.

Surrounded by the Costa Vicentina Natural Park. The land is an area of about 3ha wide. Most of it belongs to the Southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina Natural Park, which is defined one of the best preserved coastlines of Europe. Surrounded by the park's biodiversity, among cork trees, Acacias and Eucalyptus, we're keeping the natural environment as the guideline of our project.
