We had surf lesson for 2Hrs. We had a lovely experience. We were beginners and we struggled but the lads were very patient and very nice. They were all very encouraging and they make sure we learn and become better each try. We enjoyed our time. We will definitely do it again with them when we come back to Portugal.
A great morning. Quite a big group but the 2 instructors were great with my daughters and helped them cath their first wave.
It was a great experience that was especially fun for the children (11 & 12). The instructors were very nice and we even had the pleasure of having a German instructor. They made a great effort to ensure that, even though it was a large group, everyone got their money's worth and had a sense of achievement. Highly recommended!
Unfortunately there were far too many participants, approx. 10 participants per group. They were a little disorganized. The beach was good for learning, still a great experience.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you still had a great experience and enjoyed the beach. During peak summer season, groups can feel busier, but we always organize participants with instructors to ensure safety and support. We appreciate your comments and will keep working to make the organization as smooth as possible. 🏄♂️🌊
I gave the 5 times experience to my son and it was amazing, he had an amazing time, acquired new skills, the tutors were all amazing, very attentive and educative. I liked it very much and my son completely loved it. We look forward to return.
Great friendly team, lots of patience and very professional. My 2 boys loved it and had so much fun.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your boys had so much fun and enjoyed their time in the water. Our goal is to make every lesson safe, fun, and encouraging, and it's great to know our team's patience and professionalism made a difference. We hope to welcome your family back to Albufeira for more waves and smiles soon!
We were a group of friends, and we participated in a surfing introduction with everyone at different levels. Everyone found their place. The team accompanied us with passion and kindness, a big thank you to them, especially to Anna-Lisa (I hope I did not mispronounce her name), very attentive and pedagogical. She adapted to each person's level with clear and relevant teaching. Thank you very much for this experience, we will return!

I had a great time! I'm a total beginner and felt that the instruction was very great and the instructors were really positive, encouraging and high energy! I may not have stood up this time, but I'll get it down next time! :)
