Our Story
Story time
Let's start this chapter with togetherness and playfulness
We’re Philip and Justus - we met each other some years ago in a surfcamp.
We were both working there and bonded each year more and more.
After countless experiences and adventures, we knew it was time to take what we love and turn it into something more. Something meaningful.
To create something that embodies our values and vision.
Our vision was simple: to create a place that goes beyond being just a surfcamp.
It's a vibrant and welcoming space where people can fully recharge, form connections and immerse themselves in the exhilarating World of Surfing. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a sense of community, this is where you can truly refresh your spirit, embrace new friendships and experience the thrill of the waves like never before.
We want to offer a welcoming environment that’s authentic, playful and nourishing for both the body and mind.
Whether you’re a beginner or already familiar with surfing, we provide an experience that’s fun and enriching for everyone.
We invite you to step away from your routine, join our community and experience the joy of surfing in a way that aligns with your values —
while building friendships and memories that last.
We can’t wait to share this journey with you!

Yume Collective
Hi, I'm Justus
This idea has been in my mind for years, and I'm incredibly excited to finally bring it to life.
So, who am I? That’s a tough one! I like to think of myself as positive and empathetic person. I’ve always loved the outdoors - no matter where I am - and a lot of fooling around with my friends.
What I truly enjoy is creating a space where people can relax and flourish. Seeing the people enjoying themselves in a space where i am a part of gives me gratitude and a fulfilling feeling.
I grew up in Switzerland, and my parents often took me to the sea, where i felt a deep connection.
A few years ago, I discovered surfcamps during my vacation and ever since, I’ve worked at different camps whenever I had the chance.
I gained valuable experience working as a manager, which has deepened my understanding of what makes a surfcamp truly exceptional.
So here we are, starting this together!
I’m really excited to meet you at Praia de Mira!
Cheers
Hi, I'm Philip
Growing up in Tenerife has shaped my life in every way.
I was lucky enough to spend my childhood by the sea, where I discovered my love for surfing at the age of 10. After finally standing up on a board for the very first time I was directly hooked. I would spend every free minute in the water, eventually competing in regional, national and even international surfing competitions.
My passion for surfing has taken me to some of the most breathtaking places in the world and allowed me to experience a lot of different cultures along the way.
After completing my first season in France, I realized how much I loved teaching others to surf while enjoying the carefree lifestyle of a surfcamp by the sea.
Since then, I’ve spent more than 10 surf seasons teaching on the Atlantic, while dedicating the rest of the year to my career as a physiotherapist and osteopath in Switzerland.
This unique blend of passions—surfing, teaching, and health—has deeply shaped my philosophy behind Yume Surfcamps.
Creating this camp was a dream born out of years of unforgettable moments and a lot of love shared on the way. Together with my friend Justus, we’ve set out to create a personal and welcoming space that goes beyond just surfing. At Yume Surfcamps, we’re passionate about sharing the stoke and crafting unforgettable experiences.
