What if your team could surf better?

Not just on the waves, but in how they handle challenges, stress, and change. At Fred’s Adventures, we see teams arrive as colleagues and leave as true collaborators. It’s not about surfing perfection. It’s about learning to trust, adapt, and celebrate progress—together.

Curious what your team could achieve with a little saltwater and a lot of mindset coaching?

DM to explore our corporate programs. Let’s build real growth, on and off the board. 🌊

From nervous first wave to pure joy.

Ever wondered what happens when you combine surf coaching with real mindset breakthroughs? Valentino went from shy and hesitant to throwing peace signs in the lineup—his dad couldn’t believe it either. It’s not just about catching waves. It’s about building confidence, learning to trust yourself, and celebrating every small win together.

What’s it really like before a surf?

Every morning in Baleal, we check the waves, feel the wind, and gather on the sand as a team. Today: gentle sets, light breeze, and everyone buzzing for that first paddle out.

I always start with a quick chat—what’s the ocean teaching us today? We look at the chalkboard, talk through the plan, and set a small goal (in or out of the water). It’s not just about surfing. It’s about showing up, learning together, and having a laugh—even when the sky’s a bit grey.

Want to see how it feels? DM to join our next session or tag a friend who needs a little adventure! 🏄‍♂️🌊

Ever wondered what a real surf day feels like?

Boards lined up, wetsuits ready, and that buzz in the air as we head down to Baleal beach. Every lesson starts with a quick check of the waves, a bit of sand practice, and plenty of laughs before we dive in.

But here’s the secret: at Fred’s Adventures, it’s never just about surfing. We work on mindset, confidence, and finding your flow—so you leave with skills you can use in and out of the water.

What if your surf lesson changed everything?

Ever noticed how learning to surf is a lot like learning to trust yourself? On the beach, we start with the basics—stance, breath, patience. But in the water, it’s all about facing those waves of doubt and choosing to paddle anyway. That’s where real growth happens, both on the board and in life.

At Fred’s Adventures, every session is designed to help you master more than just your pop-up. You’ll leave with new skills for the ocean—and for whatever you’re facing off the sand. Ready to see how mindset coaching and surfing can transform your approach to challenges?

Cloudy skies, big smiles, real progress.

Ever wonder what surf lessons look like before we even hit the water? Here’s a little peek behind the scenes at Fred’s Adventures. Every session starts with a team huddle on the sand—whether you’re 8 or 48! We break down the basics, check the waves, and set personal goals so everyone feels ready (and excited) to jump in.

It’s not just about learning to surf. It’s about building confidence, having fun, and making every wave count.

Curious to see how a lesson can change your mindset? Drop me a message or come down to Baleal and join us for a session. 🌊

Let’s make your next adventure unforgettable!

Merry Christmas from Baleal.
This year the ocean gave us so many lessons: patience, courage, and showing up even when it’s messy.

To everyone who paddled out with me — whether it was your first whitewater ride or you were chasing cleaner lines — thank you for trusting me with your time (and your wipeouts 😅).

I’m grateful for every laugh, every breakthrough, every “I can’t believe I did that.”
Wishing you a Christmas full of calm seas, good people, and a little space to breathe.

If you’re in Portugal and want to start 2026 with a fresh reset: I’m taking bookings for January (small groups, personalized coaching).
DM me “SURF” and I’ll send you the options.

— Fred

🇵🇹 PRECISAMOS DE VENDER...
Precisamos de vender 350 Óleos Essenciais de Alecrim até dia 24.

E porquê? Para conseguirmos oferecer um incrível presente de Natal (100% do valor desta venda) à Conceição, uma das pessoas afetadas pelos incêndios deste Verão.

Pode adquirir aqui: https://mercearia.quintadoarneiro.pt/product/oleo-essencial-de-alecrim-planalto-dourado/ 😊
(13,20€ a unidade - 10ml)

Quem é a Conceição? É a proprietária da Planalto Dourado.

O que é a Planalto Dourado? Uma empresa fundada pela Conceição, que tomada de coragem, decidiu que a propriedade que o pai lhe deixou não ia ser mais uma propriedade abandonada no interior do país.

A Planalto Dourado f**a em Freixedas, no distrito da Guarda, no Portugal de que todos gostamos, mas onde não há quem invista. A Conceição foi uma corajosa. Fez uma plantação de aromáticas para extração de óleos essenciais. Este Verão viu parte dos seus já vinte anos de muitos esforços serem consumidos em três tempos. Só “sobreviveu” o campo de alecrim. Foi com este alecrim que se fez o óleo essencial de alecrim que vamos colocar á venda esta semana e cuja receita reverte 100% para a Planalto Dourado.

Será uma grande ajuda para refazer o sistema de rega dos campos de aromáticas.

Tal como aconteceu com as cerejeiras dos nossos fornecedores de cerejas, que arderam em 2017, e que conseguimos repor com a vossa ajuda, sabemos que também agora podemos contar convosco.

Prometemos ir dando notícias dos trabalhos.

Sobre o Óleo essencial de Alecrim:

É um bactericida e também um estimulante.

Não deve ser usado na pele sem diluição, mas é excelente para juntar (duas a três gotas) a um creme hidratante neutro, para além do cheiro maravilhoso ajuda nas dores musculares.

Também f**a maravilhoso como ambientador colocando duas ou três gotas num difusor ou numa vela sem cheiro.

🇬🇧 WE NEED TO SELL...

We need to sell 350 Rosemary Essential Oils by the 24th.

And why? So we can offer an incredible Christmas gift (100% of the revenue from this sale) to Conceição, one of the people affected by the wildfires this summer.

You can buy it here: https://mercearia.quintadoarneiro.pt/product/oleo-essencial-de-alecrim-planalto-dourado/ 😊

Who is Conceição? She is the owner of Planalto Dourado.

What is Planalto Dourado? A company founded by Conceição who, driven by courage, decided that the property her father left her would not become just another abandoned piece of land in the interior of the country.

Planalto Dourado is located in Freixedas, in the district of Guarda, in the Portugal we all love, but where no one invests. Conceição was brave. She planted aromatic herbs for essential oil extraction. This summer, she saw part of her twenty years of hard work consumed in an instant. Only the rosemary field “survived.” It was with this rosemary that the rosemary essential oil we are putting on sale this week was made, and whose revenue will revert 100% to Planalto Dourado.

It will be a great help in rebuilding the irrigation system for the aromatic fields.

Just like what happened with the cherry trees of our cherry suppliers, which burned in 2017 and which we were able to replace thanks to your help, we know that we can count on you now as well.

We promise to keep you updated on the work being done.

About the Rosemary Essential Oil:

It is a bactericide and also a stimulant.

It should not be used on the skin without dilution, but it is excellent when you add two or three drops to a neutral moisturizing cream. Besides the wonderful scent, it helps with muscle pain.

It also works beautifully as a room fragrance by placing two or three drops in a diffuser or on an unscented candle.
