Great Instructor, Incredible Experience!
Our instructor was Francisco (Cisco). He was great with our son and managed to teach us all to surf in one lesson. We could not recommend Special Surf, and Cisco enough!

Excellent set-up & a passionate team
Excellent set-up with Nuno and the team. We had 2 lessons with Francisco, who was clear, encouraging and very patient. Good fun, mostly (!) as surfing is a proper workout. We also hired bikes from here for half a day and was great to cycle through Baleal and further up the coast for beautiful views.

Fantastic experience and improvement!
I had a fantastic experience with Special Surf 78 and would thoroughly recommend them. The booking process was easy and flexible and my instructor, Pedro, was friendly, clear and really keen to help me improve. The session made a big improvement to my ability in a short space of time. They were also very focused on our safety as well as making sure we enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommended for surfers of all levels.

Great spot and instructor for beginners
We really enjoyed our surfing lesson, there were lots of small waves to practice on so we never had to wait for a wave (early September) our instructor was great and easygoing. We had never surfed before but we were able to stand and surf small waves on our own by the end of the 2h private lesson! It was our favourite part of our trip to Portugal.

Thank you very much!!!! A big hug, and keep surfing! :)

Fantastic time surfing in Peniche
My husband and two sons, aged 9 and 11, had a fantastic time surfing with Rachel. She was an excellent teacher and radiated positivity! They all made progress over five days and had a great time. This is our second time surfing with SpecialSurf78 and we hope to be back again soon.

Surf lessons with stay in Star Inn Penichia
Tried surfing for the first time. Took 5x2h surfing lessons. Both me an GF achieved good results above our expectations. Instructors were friendly, and helped out a lot, with good advice end tips. Small group sizes in lessons helped a lot for quick progression. Combined with stay in "Star Inn" hotel where surf school is located experience was perfect - beach was just across the road from hotel.

First time surfing … great experience
Great experience with Nuno, Pedro and all the staff. They are all super kind, they provide you with everything you need to start surfing and last but not least they take care of you and they are only happy when you enjoy surfing. We’ll definitely come back in the future to continue the learning experience
