https://blog.extraface.com/2024/08/07/sk8o3fmbj16 https://www.clawscustomboxes.com/ece73g6n2l Surf culture. The family has grown from its beginnings in California to settle down in Europe, Portugal being one of the main destinations for the followers of this sport and lifestyle.

https://www.completerehabsolutions.com/blog/ipmcokew We highlight the big importance that the Algarve area and in particular Sagres – where we, Wavy Surf Camp are –  have acquired. Each culture has its own  traditions, expressions, lifestyles, music styles…And yes, surf is a culture and in our opinion is the best one!

• Swell: waves, very connected to the forecasting of the tides.
• Spot: places where you can go surfing.
• Stance, the position you take up on your surfboard and the position of the feet, but each position has it own name:
  • Goofy : you place your right foot on the front part of the surfboard to surf.
  • Regular: you place your left foot on the front part of the surfboard for surfing.
  • Backside: when we are surfing and have the wall of the wave behind our back
  • Frontside: when you surf facing the wave

• The parts of the wave:
  • Peak: the place where the waves break and where all the experienced surfers are.
  • Lip: the crest of the wave, the highest part.
• The different types of breaks::
  • Point Break: waves that break on a rock or stone seabottom.
  • Reef break: waves that break over a reef. This kind of waves are very clean and powerful.
  • Beach Break: waves that break on the sandbanks which form the seabed near a beach. Because of the movement of the sandbanks because of the sea current, the peaks of the waves are not always in the same place. These are really good for beginners.

• Types of manoeuvres:
  • Aerial: amazing manoeuvre that consists of performing a big jump with the surfboard, and going back to the wave.
  • Bottom-Turn: turn that is made at the bottom of the wave, once you drop in.
  • Drop: when you go down the face of the wave once you are standing.
  • Cutback: movement done to go back to the strongest part of the wave. It is performed by making the infinity symbol around the wave.
  • Floater:  this manoeuvre is used to pass over the lip of a wave, connecting with the wall of the following wave.
  • Snap:  to skid in the middle of the wall, giving an strong kick with the back foot and then shifting the weight to the front foot.

This is just an small sample of surf culture, its terms and lifestyles but as we always say, the rules and the flow are up to you!

At Wavy Surf Camp we want you to show us your good feeling!
