Confident in Bigger Waves — 2-Day Workshop & Training Experience

Confident in Bigger Waves — 2-Day Workshop & Training Experience

Peniche · January 3–4 2026

Learn the skills, conditioning, safety tools, and mindset needed to surf bigger, more powerful waves with confidence. Two days of training with Gui Fonseca — including forecasting, apneia, gym work, step-up equipment, and optional surf session.

Many surfers want to surf bigger, more powerful waves — but don’t yet have the conditioning, breath control, mindset, or knowledge to feel safe and confident in heavier conditions. This workshop gives you a complete, practical system to prepare for solid beach-break surf.

Across two days in Peniche, Gui will teach you how to read forecasts for bigger waves, how to choose the right step-up board, how to prepare physically and mentally, and how to build the calm needed to enjoy heavier sessions. You’ll experience parts of Gui’s own training routine: gym, mobility, apneia, paddling, and mindset.

This workshop is NOT about giant waves; it’s about becoming confident in real, solid, overhead surf — the kind of days you’ve been wanting to paddle out into but didn’t feel ready for.

Start your year surfing stronger, safer, and with more confidence.
