Filippo Galli

I had the best time at Surf & Skate adventure camp 😍 Filippo and Julia were not only amazing hosts and teachers but they’ve also open the door to their houses, cooked for us, shared their lives and made our experience throughly magical!

Filippo is the best guide you can imagine. He just has this thing where he always seems to be incredibly happy which also makes other people happy. During the week she felt more like a friend than a guide. The trip was very well organized and it never went boring. The mixture of Surfing, Skating, Yoga, good Food and Parties made the week unforgettable. I joint the trip when I was in a really bad mental state and Filippos trip managed to make me feel happy again. It was amazing for me and I can only imagine how tremendous it has to be for a person that is already happy.

Thanks filipo for this adventures. He took care about anything and our whole group enjoyed his schedule. He spent a lot of time with us and everything we experienced in ericeira was just a wonderful experience. I would do it again for sure.

Filippo embraced the group with open arms, making sure no one felt left out and created an air of positivity and great vibes. He is selfless, extremely friendly, and an absolute amazing person to be around. His passion and planning showed through in everything he does. The trip was the best I've ever been on and I look forward to be able to go on future trips with Filippo!

Filippo was very organised and also open minded to everyone’s opinion during the week which was really good! Everyday he went out of his way to make sure everyone was learning as well as having fun. This week was so fun for me as well I learnt so much more about surfing, from the beginning of the week to the end of the week I could noticed the improvements with myself and even the rest of our group, I made some good friends this week I wish I could do it all over again!

Filippo welcomed us from day one not only as our local guide, but as a friend. All and I mean each and every one of his recommendations was top notch, the classes - wether on land or on the waves - were professional, I learned a ton and made new friends on the way. If we had special needs or needed help, we could always count on our GAF and you can tell that everything he does, he does it out of love and passion. Ericeira is a beautiful little town full of great people. Explore it with Filippo, you will certainly not regret it. And Filippo, thank you, for everything!

Filippo is such an awesome, warm, open and friendly guy. I had an amazing time and loved this trip so much. Thank you Filippo :))

The perfect experience for someone open-minded who wants to make new friends and try out new sports and activities, organized perfectly and Filippo is basically a friend that drives you around this place giving you the best vibes possible of a super cool location; To me this experience was just an holiday that became way more, created friendship and new hobbies to share and lots of desire to travel more! Just thanks Filippo for this amazing experience and hope for the next trip to be organized soon!

This was one of the best trips I have ever had! Everything was so well organised, so many great activities with good vibes all the way! This might not be the trip for passive people who love lying on the beach only. This is an active vacation and that's exactly what I needed. Filippo is an amazing guy, with smile on his face all the time :) He introduced us with the local life of Ericeira and vibes of the city! I'll join Filippo's trips in the future for sure!

Such a fun trip and great experience learning to surf. This is a great opportunity to meet friends and maybe even discover a new passion! Thanks Filippo :)

Well guided trip with a friendly atmosphere and balanced activity/rest ratio!

I had so much fun on this trip! There were plenty of activities, so we were always on the move. It was a good range of surfing, skating, yoga, parties - alot of stuff I wouldn’t have chosen by myself but I’m glad I got out of my comfort zone. Fillipo the host was always available and happy to help. If you are looking for a very social, fun and active week, I would reccomend this!

I had the best time in Ericeira and that especially thanks to Filippo that professionally and lovely planned all the activities in each details. No one dull moment: learning, growing, fun and well-being have been the key words of this week. Filippo is definitely born to manage and deal with people, is empathetic, open-minded and his love for life is overwhelming. I do hope he can move forwards organising trips even for pre-intermediate level…I could be the first person to join him! Thank you Filippo (Solo good vibes !)

I had a really great time! Filippo really showed his passion for surfing and Ericeira. The vibe of the group was super nice and everyone felt included. Thanks for the great experience!

Amazing trip with Filippo, one of the best guides out there. Truly one of my best trips, the activities, parties, food, everything was well organized. Ericeira is also such an amazing town to visit. Would really recommend Filippo!

Amazing trip. Big thanks to Filippo who is doing all this with so much passion and enjoying so much time with the team together. Everything was well organized with lot's of activities beside surfing. You will definitely not get bored. Would do it any time again! Big hug!

Ericeira surf trip was an amazing trip, one of my best trips. I enjoyed everyday day, with a lot of fun, sport, lovely meetings, good (such good) food, parties, wonderful landscapes and sunsets, thanks to Filippo. Caring, responsible, open-minded, always present, a hell of a dancer, he gave us the joy of surfing and continuing. Thank you so much for this week Filippo !

Filippos surf trip was an absolutely awesome. I loved it every second of it and would 100% recommend to go on a trip with him. Filippo is very friendly, openminded, communicative, attentive and always up for fun. I especially enjoyed the energy, knowledge and love he brought to the trip and our group. We experienced surfing from many angles and I can't wait to keep surfing and go back to Ericeira.

The trip was incredibly organized. There wasn't a free minute and it was still the perfect mix of action and relaxation. Filippo includes everyone in his trip and is available 24/7. He does everything from the bottom of his heart, which made this trip so unique! Muito obrigado Filippo! You are flyyyiing!! 🤙🏻🔥🫶🏻

I had an amazing time and a lot of fun during the trip. Everything which has been mentioned within the trip description has been covered and was well organized. Even some extras on top which made the adventure even more lovely and enjoyable. So overall a great trip with a very funny and nice group. Filippo is a great guy who is funny and always happy! He spreaded his positive energy day by day and you never felt bad or bored at any time. I could even taste that when he invited us to his place for a delicious risotto. On the other day he cooked pasta cabonara at our hostel. He takes care of every single one of you and always offers an helping hand no matter what. This means he gives you recommendations and tips regarding to any restaurants/foods and/or places like Sintra. During the surfing and surfskating he observes you and gives you very helpful tips for improvement. Being part of the group is natural for him and never doubtful! You can see and feel that he is doing everything with passion! Oh and if you like to go out for drinks or parties there won't be a single night where he is missing! Big thank you to Filippo and the group! It was an unforgettable journey!

GAF has organized a perfect surfing trip. He loves to share his knowledge and is full of energy and joie de vivre. I had an incredible week and can only recommend it to anyone. Grazie mille Filippo 🤙❤️

What a man, Filippo is such an amazing teacher, cook, partier and friend😄 The trip was well organized and there was no chance and time for us to be bored. Surfing, Skating, Yoga and Partying at amazing locations as well as many new good friends, that’s what you get for little money and the guys and girls at the hostel are super duper friendly, too. 10\10🤟

Filippo was the best Trip Leader you could wish for. He personally looked after everyone on the trip and went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great time. For example he invited us to his home to cook authentic risotto for everyone, made sure we had plenty of photos to keep memories and always left great recommendations for free time. Filippo was full of energy and love, provided the perfect environment for the group to come together and bond and taught us many things about surfing. The trip was a great mix of surfing, relaxing, information, fun and partying. Would recommend anyone to go

From start to finish, Filippo went out of his way to ensure all group members had an unforgettable experience. A flexible itinerary was outlined at the start of the week to provide a structure for the week and allow us to maximise our time in Ericeira. The surf lessons were conducted by experts who provided constant feedback and helped all members improve. The progress made from each member over the course of a week is a clear reflection of the instructor's skill. Filippo also accompanied the group into the water to take photos/videos which allowed the group to review their technique throughout the week. Other activites were included in the trip such as yoga which allowed the group to revitalise and improve their balance. Also, surfskating which allowed the group to practice their technique on land with a surf simulator, I noticed this drastically improved my ability once I got back in the water. Filippo provided us with insights into Ericeira, showing us the best food, drink and party spots. Everything in Ericeira is incredibly accessible. The hostel itself was another highlight of the trip, with it being so close to the town it acted as the main hub for the group. The facilities are all you could ever need. On our rest day we had the opportunity to take a day trip to a nearby historic town, Sintra, where we were able to explore the old town and castle. In only a short week, I made a lifetime of memories in Ericeira. If you're looking for a surf camp, look no further because this is the one for you.

Filippo organised the whole trip perfectly, even picked us up from the airport and brought us to the hostel👍🏻 He is a very funny and cool guy & also spontaneous/flexible :) Every day we could choose what we wanted to do👌🏻
