BUKS MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED

MUST BE ABLE TO SWIM

 

11th - 21st June. Buy a ticket for the event to put down your £150 deposit and secure a bed for yourself for 10 nights accomodation -  the remaining amount will have to be paid soon. Once you buy the ticket you will be given a form to fill out:

  • TRANSPORT: If you can make the dates on which we are flying, we recommend you get flights with BUKS as we will get bulk deals and transfers from Porto airport. Flights will be from Bristol airport if possible, unless flights to London are cheaper/more convenient. On the return journey we may give you an option a flight to London or Bristol depending on availability. Tickets with flights and transfer will be ~£350; tickets without transport (just accomodation) will be ~£215. Luggage will only be a single carry on (Pack light it will be warm!) but there may be space for larger items such as wetsuits and kit in a van driving down from bristol - there will also be an option buy more luggage space at an extra fee.
  • LESSONS: Lessons will be organised by BUKS with the Duotone Pro Centre. Lessons will be 30€ per hour and paid for once in Portugal. Lessons will be available for all abilities including absolute beginners. There will be up to 3 hours of lessons per day available per person - however this is very intensive so we recommend choosing less. There will be options for 3, 6, 12 hours of lessons on the form to give us a rough estimate of demand - this isn't binding.
  • KIT: BUKS will be bringing down all BUKS kit down in a van from Bristol. This will be for anyone to use provided you can show you know how to use it safely. If you can't yet ride safely upwind BUKS kit will be shared between 2 or more people at a time. We highly recommend you bring your own kit if you can - there will be some space in a van driving down. There will also be a possibility of renting very high quality and new Duotone gear from the school though this will come at a cost. If you are unsure about getting lessons or just using BUKS kit we recommend getting some lessons as this comes with full kit and there isn't a ton of BUKS kit to go around

 

Deposits must be paid by 6pm 3rd Feb to secure your place on the trip!!
