Hi, I'm João

Hello, my name is João Silva, and I am the founder of Surf Seixe Academy. I was born in Odeceixe and spent all my life connected to the sea. I am a lifeguard swimmer, and I worked as such on Odeceixe beach for 8 years of my life. I practice bodyboarding and surfing, and I studied sports sciences with a specialty in Sports Training in Surf, which gives me the II degree of coach of Surf by the Portuguese Federation of Surf. I teach surf and bodyboard with soul and heart, and academic knowledge without forgetting the fun.
