Xtreme Gap focuses on Sports and Adventure Travel. Weather our programmes are in Europe or in Africa and whether it is for 1 day or 12 weeks, all have a lot to offer. Next to wild life, diving and over landing trips we have now also a lot of gap year surfing programmes.

We have a lot of request in for gap year surfing programmes, so we have explored some nice places for you. But if you do not want to fly all the out to Australia or South Africa, we found the perfect spot for you. Just 2 to 4 hours from any destination in Europe you can fly to Faro in Portugal and you don´t even have to cross a time zone!

The surf camp is in Carrapateira, is close to Sagres in the Algarve, Portugal. Here you find the most western point of Europe. In Carrapateira and surroundings there are many un-spoilt secluded beaches that are great to learn or improve your surf.

The surf camp in Portugal is on the beach and they have their own camp side just 1 km away from the beach

During the Portugal gap year surfing programme you not only learn to surf you most likely will make friends for life, eat delicious (fish) barbeques and explore the many beaches in the area. Portugal also has great wines and Sagres beer, and most important of all a great social life.

All surfing camps on the gap year surfing programmes list of Xtreme Gap are open to all levels and all nationalities. So over your big breakfast I the morning you will be chatting to some girl or boy living on the other side of the world, and this could become a friend for life! Ho amazing is that. Also, do not be afraid of travelling alone, most of our customers do and with all our programmes people make friends easily.

The owners of Xtreme Gap know what it feels like to ride your first wave, we know how cool and proud it makes you feel, so if you have any questions, please contact us.
