The Surf Coach
Lourenço is the coach and founder of SURF IT EASY. He skates since he remembers and surfs since a bit after, already worked in Morocco and Brazil and has been teaching in the beaches of Peniche for the past 8 years. However it's his passion for riding boards, people and the ocean that makes this project possible every day.
Surf in Peniche
Peniche is a small fishermen town located around 1h driving from Lisbon. It consists of a peninsula in the Portuguese coast and its geography speaks by itself: surf's up almost every day of the year. Along with the consistency, variety is also one of the perks in Peniche, which attracts all sorts. It's home to one of the WSL Championship Tour events at Supertubos (one of Europe's best beach break) and very close to Nazaré where we can see some of the biggest waves ever surfed.
FAQ
WHAT IS THE BEST EXERCISE FOR SURFING?
The best way to improve surfing is always to surf more. However there are some technical points that can be unlocked much faster with some surf training on land. Our favorite tool is the surfskate, it allows you to practice the movements over and over and at some point you will start gaining muscle memory and doing it automatically in the water. It also massively improves your dynamic balance. Surfing depends on the waves, and we can't control or predict nature completely, so a surfer has to be able to change the center of mass relatively to the board several times, depending on the power and shape of the wave, the maneuver you want to do in a section, etc. That is why we call it dynamic balance and a surf simulator - surfskate - will definitely be a great help.

IS SURF GOOD FOR MENTAL HEALTH?
Surfing is proved to be one of the tools to improve our mental health. The nature by itself already has a powerful impact on our Nervous System. Excersice, cold water and new challenges trigger the release of happy chemicals in our brain which will instantly make us feel more confident, more powerful and at peace. The little voices in our head disappear and the only thing we focus on is our board, our body and the ocean - what a beatiful mix.
