Each day, you’ll surf with the Semente Surf School, guided by instructors whose family helped shape Ericeira’s rise as a global surf destination. Go beyond technique as you learn the stories, traditions, and unwritten rules passed down through generations of Portuguese surfers. You’ll not only ride Ericeira’s iconic breaks, but also gain an insider’s perspective on what makes each spot unique and revered.

A highlight of your week is an exclusive tour of the Semente Surfboards factory—where Portugal’s surfboard legacy was born. Meet the original founders, hear firsthand how they pioneered the local surf scene, and witness the craftsmanship that goes into every board. This is your invitation into the Semente family, where passion for the ocean and community runs deep.

Evenings are filled with shared meals, storytelling, and the warmth of true local hospitality. At O House, we believe the magic of surfing is found in connection—between people, place, and the generations who keep the spirit alive. Come join the family, discover the legacy, and experience Ericeira as few ever will.
