The On The Wayve Performance Week is for women who want to take their surfing to the next level, while being surrounded by women who genuinely get it. It's about getting the extra eyes and expert guidance you need to progress, while creating a space where we support each other, celebrate each other's wins and make each other feel confident in the water. We want to put women’s surfing more on the map, and create a week where we grow together, both in and out of the water.
 

I believe growth happens fastest when you're surrounded by people who want to see you win. That's why I'm so excited to have Puck Dekkers coaching this week. Puck is a Dutch competitive surfer and surf coach with years of experience both in the water and on the coaching side, bringing a technical and performance-focused approach to her coaching. Think focused surf sessions, detailed video analysis, honest feedback, nourishing meals to keep you fueled, new friendships and a small group of women who cheer each other on. This isn't about being the best in the water, it's about becoming better together, and creating the kind of week that gives you goosebumps just thinking about it.

Surf

Surfing is my biggest love, and it's at the heart of On The Wayve. This week, we're turning that love into real progression, understanding your surfing, working on what you want to improve and getting the guidance to move past where you feel stuck.
 

With Puck's coaching and video analysis, you'll get individual feedback tailored to your surfing and goals. With 14+ years of experience, a background in competitive surfing and experience coaching junior surf athletes, Puck brings a technical and performance-focused approach to every session.

Leave Portugal with more confidence, more knowledge and real tools to keep progressing.

The House

One of the key elements of On The Wayve is comfort, that feeling of arriving and instantly feeling at home. That’s exactly why we chose a peaceful beach house close to Costa Da Caparica.

 

Our private house offers a modern, beautifully designed space where you can fully unwind after a day in the ocean. Clean interiors, natural light and plenty of room to relax make it the perfect base for the week.

Set in a quiet area close to the beach, you’ll wake up to the sound of birds and start your mornings slowly before heading out for a surf.

Local culture

Because I used to live in Costa da Caparica, I want to show you the real side of this place, not just the surf, but everything that comes with it. It's about the laid-back rhythm of a small surf town on the Portuguese coast.
 

Days here are easy. Beach time, a second surf session when we've got energy left, skating or walking along the boulevard, coffee at our favorite spots, and sunset dinners by the ocean. We can also head into Lisbon for a midday. Not to rush through the highlights, but to wander a bit, thrift shops, good coffee, dinner somewhere nice, and finding those low-key spots you'd probably miss otherwise.

Upcoming Surf Performance weeks:
18 - 25 April, 2027 | Open for bookings!

Movienight

And when we’re all surfed out and just want a chill night, we’ll curl up on the couch with a good romcom and some tasty snacks, pure perfection.

"Wow! I had the most amazing week with On The Wayve. I booked super spontaneously just two weeks in advance because my intuition said “let’s do this”  and I haven’t regretted it for a second. I didn’t feel like organizing an entire holiday last-minute myself, and this was the perfect solution! Roos takes absolutely everything off your hands; everything was perfectly arranged, from yoga and surfing to the beautiful villa and the transport to all the (insanely fun and cultural) activities. As a solo traveler, it also felt incredibly comforting to end up in such a warm group of like-minded people. We had the best time together and even made friendships for life. I’d go again in a heartbeat! <3"
Lots of love,
