Ever since its foundation in 1995, The Surf Experience (TSE), located in Lagos on the Portuguese Algarve, has been one of the most atmospheric surf camps in the world. The region’s countless magnificent surf spots are unrivalled, as well as our luxurious accommodation. Nonetheless, it is our experienced surf guides and surf coaches that are setting new standards. From beginners to pros, our team’s professional work is valued by surfers at every level – as well as our excellent kitchen. After its foundation by Conny and D**o Lipke, the camp quickly gained recognition in the surfing world; increasingly so as their son Marlon became one of the best German surfers in the world. He won numerous competitions and even qualified for the legendary Dream Tour of surfing’s Top 45. This comes as no surprise, considering that he was born in Lagos – surrounded by fantastic waves that were at his disposal at all times. While not everyone is a born surfer, it’s a lot of fun straight from the beginning. Particularly so with conditions that are as unique as offered by The Surf Experience surf camp on the stunning Algarve coast in Southern Portugal.
