My story: Hi, I’m Willy — Italian-born, now based in Sagres, Portugal, where I’ve found the perfect home for surf and outdoor living.
With a degree in Sport Science and over 10 years of coaching experience in both surfing and snowboarding, I’ve worked with people all over the world — from total beginners to advanced riders.

With the great support of Karma Surf School, my mission is to help surfers who’ve outgrown the surf camp scene but still feel stuck — to give them structure, feedback, and confidence.

This is not about hand-holding. It’s about helping you take ownership of your surfing and level up — for real.
If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start surfing with clarity and confidence, you’re in the right place.
