Know before you go

  • Due to the always-changing wave and tide conditions, the exact meeting time can only be confirmed the evening before the course, usually around 6 PM
  • The surf spots will mostly be Arrifana, Amoreira, and Monte Clerigo. If you're very lucky, you get to stay on the south coast. The location will be chosen depending on the conditions and skill level of the student. This means that even though the surf course lasts 2 hours, the whole trip will take 4-5 .hours

We had lessens from Andras and Alex. We were a small group of 5. Instructors helped each one of use very good. Gave individual tips, pushed us in the waves to get a hang of it. Very fun evening surf session. Recommend it for beginners and more advanced users

It was a wonderful experience, the two guides we had, Alex and Angelo were very helpful, they took our slight interest and transformed it into a burning passion, they allowed us to try and test with patience, me and my daughter had a wonderful time, we highly recommend you ask for these 2 guides to be allocated for your training.

This was our first time surfing and we loooooove it! The sea was a bit rough that day but András could not have been more patient with us. We all sucked but he was so attentive and took the time to explain how the waves and current work. We had a blast and appreciate the incredible experience!
