They were both really friendly, patient and encouraging, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. The lesson was really well organised, and they did a fantastic job of helping us improve while making sure we were enjoying ourselves. We got some great waves, plenty of laughs, and some brilliant photos to remember the experience by.

SUPA surf lessons are amazing
We had an amazing two hour lesson with Annalisa and Martim- they rocked! Me and the two kids (14 and 15) loved it - great value, good kit and two amazing instructors. Would highly recommend

great surfing experience in a splendid place
Very nice first experience surfing! the place is easy to find. The team is really friendly and the two instructors really made their best for us to have real surfing sensation. Anna Lisa and Sara gave us precious tips to be able to stand up! I would definitely go back and try a second time! Plus, Galé Beach is a very beautiful spot, I'm glad I could spend half day there.

Excellent experience!
Brilliant experience for my daughter. She wanted to try and surf! The team were patient, knowledgeable and fun. She had a full 2hr experience and all the kit was supplied. Highly recommended. Perfect half day out in beautiful Albufeira

Great experience!
First time trying surfing and our instructors eugo (definitely spelt wrong sorry!) and Sara made the experience really fun! And made it really simple for us to learn and we were managing to stand and catch waves pretty quickly! Would definitely recommend just don’t be disheartened when your partner is immediately better than you!
