About Lapoint"Life should feel like this every day"
Our essence - Good Times
Lapoint is built on good times and a free-spirited lifestyle shaped by surfing, yoga, and travelling. For us, the value of an experience comes from the connections you make along the way. That’s why social interaction is a natural part of everything we do, from surf sessions to shared meals and life at the camp. Our goal is simple: You leave with new friends, stronger skills, and unforgettable Good Times.
Our Mindset
Be a Friend
At Lapoint, we aim to show up as a friend in every relationship we’re part of.
For our guests, that means being welcoming, relaxed, and always ready to help when it matters.
For our team, it means creating space for work to fit into life, not the other way around.
For the environment, it means taking responsibility for our impact and actively working to protect the places we love.
For local communities, it means hiring locally, supporting small businesses, and embracing local culture with respect.
This mindset shapes how our camps feel, how we work together, and how people experience Lapoint from day one.
"Life should feel like this every day."
Our History
The orgin of good times
It all started on a surf trip to Portugal, where childhood friends and dedicated surfers Peter and Sebastian met local Alexandre at a street party in one of Lisbon's old neighbourhoods. The three hit it off right away. In the weeks to come, they explored the coast surfing together and became great friends along the way.
The last morning the three scored fun waves with glassy conditions, a light fog, and no one else in the water. When walking up the beach, aware of that this was the last surf of the trip, Sebastian said:
“Life should feel like this every day.”
That was the comment that sparked the breakfast conversation that a few months later would lead to Sebastian’s and Alex’s idea of Lapoint. Peter joined the boys shortly after, and so did long-time friend Göran.
The four have since remained true to their initial ambition. Lapoint has grown quite a bit since that day, but still has the same philosophy and is still attracting people looking for the same thing. That - Life should feel like this - feeling.
This remains the core of the Lapoint, both for the guests visiting and for the people who work there.
We care about our people
At Lapoint, transparency, safety, and well-being are non-negotiable. We believe that taking care of our guests and our team creates experiences built on trust, respect, and long-term relationships.
Surfing with us or working with us should feel safe, inclusive, and supportive. That’s why we actively work with clear guidelines, open communication, and shared responsibility across all destinations.

We care about our planet

Beyond beach cleanups, we actively work to reduce our environmental footprint across all camps through climate accountability, waste reduction, local sourcing, and long-term sustainability initiatives.
