Full description

Immerse yourself in the exhilarating world of surfing with our comprehensive Surfing Program designed for beginners. Whether you're a first-time surfer or simply eager to refine your skills, our step-by-step approach ensures an enriching experience tailored to your needs. Prepare for a thrilling two-hour adventure filled with excitement and learning. Our expert-led session covers every aspect of surfing, ensuring you make the most of your time on the waves.

Gain a deeper understanding of ocean knowledge and safety rules as you learn essential principles for navigating the marine environment. Warm up dynamically, preparing your body for action with exercises aimed at enhancing flexibility and reducing the risk of injury. Familiarize yourself with surf equipment and its functions through a comprehensive overview, empowering you to make the most of your surfing experience.

Master the art of take-off while still on the sand, laying a solid foundation for success in the water. Develop confidence as you learn how to enter the water gracefully and handle your board with ease. Practice wave-catching techniques in the white water and refine your paddling skills to navigate the waves effectively.

With no prior experience required, our experienced instructors will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring a safe and rewarding learning experience. All you need is the ability to swim, and we'll take care of the rest.

Join us at either Praia das Milícias or the Areal de Santa Barbara for an unforgettable surfing experience. The exact location will be communicated to you the day before your lesson, ensuring you're fully prepared for the adventure ahead.

Highly recommend this experience for any beginner surfers! Our instructors were super clear, really patient, and overall made this one of our favourite activities of the trip. The groups are not too big which meant plenty of 1:1 tuition alongside the group instructions. A big thanks to the guys !!
