About us
Olá! My name is Bernardo, I started surfing in Porto when I was 6 years-old. When I finished higher education, I decided I could not stand being closed all day in an office so I chose to embark on a journey to make the sea my life project and set up my own surf-school in porto: Pura Vida!
I always lived with my family by the seaside in vila nova de gaia and at our property there was an old olive, pickles and yellow lupin factory owned by my father that included community housing for workers. After the factory was permanently closed, me and my mother, Susana decided to repair and remodel the whole area and transform it into a small B&B. Later on, when the surf school was already fully organized we decided to convert it into a surf camp but open to people from all walks of life who enjoy the chilled atmosphere of the porto citizen surfers’ lifestyle. Pura Vida!
