Had a lovely experience learning first time how to surf. Tiago was impeccable instructor - very caring and great teacher, 10/10 would recommend to whoever asks if it's worth your money!
Hugely enjoyed and super friendly people. Even including help when our Mercedes Vito got stuck in the sand
Excellent patient helpful friendly tuition
We had booked a 5-day surf course but the conditions allowed us to go on the water only 3 days. Nelson from “Carrapateira extreme tour” was very responsive to keep us informed of the day-to-day conditions, he took no risks to insure the lessons at any cost and reimbursed us for the 2 lessons we could not take. We very much enjoyed the 3 sessions carried out. Louis, our teacher, gave everything to make us progress. But surfing is not easy! Especially at 50 years old. Thank you to the whole team for this week out of time, in breathtaking landscapes! We definitely recommend!
Great surf instructor with a good feel for them group and a focus on the important points to make progress. Nice group and great conditions on the beach
We have booked for two people to learn to surf. Initially we went at 15:00, but the Owner sent us a message that it would be better at 13:00 because of the wind and water:) this made us feel good immediately! Once we arrived we got a good wetsuit and followed Tiago, the teacher with our vehicle to the place where we had to park. Afterwards a short walk along a path and the beach to the sea, which is a good warm-up! Tiago gave us a quiet, perfect explanation about surfing. The lesson went uphill, so we could stand up on our surfboard at the end! Big thank you to Tiago and the others! See you again in a couple of years! :D
Fantastic experience with Master Thiago! Very good at explaining with great patience and passion for what he does! Beautiful beach and top lesson!
The waves were beautiful for beginners. The explanation clear and the place very very nice. The group size was eight people, so there was enough attention for everyone.
Introductory surfing lesson suitable for beginners. The location is beautiful and the weather was very favorable (good waves, in our opinion, but not excessive). Good and stimulating instructors. We felt that perhaps the equipment was a bit minimal, perhaps distributing the surfboards based on height could be an idea. The path to reach the beach on foot with the boards in hand was a bit tiring.
We booked 5-Days of Surfing Lessons with the excellent and cool Surfing Teacher Guy. It was really amazing and so much fun, we also got to know many other nice surfing students. The groups were relatively small, and Guy spent a lot of time on each person, helping us riding the waves. The beach where the lessons took place is beautiful, not too crowded and the waves are very good for surfers - surfing was possible all of the 5 days in a row. Thanks again and see you next year!
