Residency
Vol. II
SURF & SURF SKATE
WE ARE CONNECTED BY A PASSION FOR PROGRESSION.
We believe that training the brain is just as important as training the body.
Designed for intermediate female surfers over 30, this program demystifies the learning process so that you
become a more confident wave rider in a variety of conditions.
You’ll begin by practicing new maneuvers on land using a surf skate. Then, through constant repetition, you’ll quickly develop the muscle memory necessary for a successful transition to the water. In true Koolscty style, this all takes place in comfortable and encouraging environment.
When it’s all said and done, we strongly believe that anyone can take their surfing abilities to the next level.

AN EXTRAORDINARY FIVE-SUITE VILLA IN THE ALENTEJO COUNTRYSIDE.
Located in one of the most iconic landscapes in Portugal, the Koolscty villa encompasses five spacious suites with a striking minimalist aesthetic that lends itself to an atmosphere of tranquility, simplicity and timelessness.
Beyond just being an off-the-grid sanctuary, the property embodies the Koolscty movement – open and inviting with an old-meets-new vibe. It’s an escapist’s dream abode that bucks the trend of staying in ever-changing tourism “hot spots”.
If you’re ready to hit pause on your fast-paced life and
attune your soul to the natural rhythms of a bucolic landscape, our villa is the perfect destination. Oh… and did we mention that all this is only a short trip away from A+ surf spots and beautiful beaches?

PERFORMANCE
SURF/SKATE
Land practice is essential to open the whole field for surfing and to develop good movement habits. With the help of surf skate we can simulate surfing on concrete. Through this methodology, it is easier to learn and get your movements more intuitive for a better performance while surfing.
SOUL
food
With the focus on organic whole foods, the meals will be mostly but not exclusively plant-based, cooked simply and with flavors from all over the world.
MIND
yoga
Our yoga classes are designed to lead you through a series of movements to rediscover your natural body mobility. Because we believe that our breath is essential to connect with our subconscious, we will help you develop awareness on those muscles which will make you understand and control reactions connected with surfing.
INTRODUCING OUR TALENTED SQUAD.
Let’s be honest. The pathway to progression has more than a few sharp turns and bumpy stretches. The good news is that our Koolscty Squad will have your back every step of the way. We’re one of a kind with backbone for days and a passionate disposition. Most of all though, we give you a safe space to be your curious natural self.
