The surfing experience was wonderful, we had such a great time and fell in love with surfing immediately. Pedro and Nuno were such amazing instructors and surf buddies. I recommend this experience to everyone!

Both instructors were very helpful especially for first time surfers. They have years of experience and even provided local food and drink recommendations for your trip In Portugal. Would definitely go again!

Literally 10/10 from us. We were a stag party and had a great time. Both instructors were awesome, and there’s a beach restaurant (they recommended) which is also brilliant.

Amazing experience! The instructor was very prepared and helpful to correct mistakes to get the best from this experience

A great first surfing experience, the team was on top, super communicative, we had a great time!
