About us
Welcome to Ohana Surf Camp, where the Hawaiian spirit of “family” and a passion for surfing create unforgettable memories that last a lifetime.
Under the name Ohana, which means “family” in Hawaiian, we strive to build a close-knit community of surfers united by their love for the ocean and the excitement of surfing.
Aloha!
My name is Magdalena, and since 2019, I have been living in Madeira and working as a surfing instructor at the local club
SURF CLUBE DA MADEIRA!
In 2021, I decided to fulfill my dream of organizing a Surf & Yoga Camp in my second home, and that’s how Ohana Surf Camp was born.
In 2023, we expanded our camp offerings to a new destination – MOROCCO!
Why the name OHANA? In Hawaiian, Ohana means family, and we want every participant in our camps to feel like a part of it.
So… are you joining our OHANA?
Meet the Ohana Team!
