Really great lesson and instructor! Everything was organised very well with pickup, surfing equipment, and drop off. Pointers given during the lesson were extremely helpful.
Dear Surfer, Thank you very much for your kind comments. We are very glad you enjoyed the lesson. We hope you come again. Porto Surf School Team
Had a great time with the Porto surf school surf lesson. I tried to organise the sup tour but unfortunately there wasn't enough people also looking to be able to operate while I was there. Rather than just saying no we can't help you ( like most places would have done) they offered to keep me updated if that changed but also offered the surf lesson as an alternative. As surfing is something I wanted to try I accepted. Any questions I had were answered super quickly and also seemed to answer any time of night or day (through email I expected to be replied to within office hours but got a reply at 9pm one night) so I have to say the service was top notch. It's rather embarrassing but I'm not able to remember the name of the gentleman (I'm awful with names) that ran the lesson but I believe we were his first solo class with this school and I must say he nailed it. The whole day was fun and even though nobody had met before in our group I felt like it was a bunch of friends just going on a trip together. We went to a beach about a half hours drive out of Porto as it's less busy and had better waves for beginners. He was super patient with us all and help be constructive and supportive the whole time. By the end we had managed to catch a couple of waves and couldn't stop smiling. All in all I would recommend Porto surf school from start to finish

Had a great first experience of surfing with Porto Surf School. Instructors were good at teaching and the class was well run. Managed to stand up on the board and catch some waves by the end of the morning so mission accomplished!
Hello! Thanks so much for the awesome review! We're so glad you had a great time and that we could help to accomplish your mission! Keep practising and enjoying the waves hope to see you back soon! Best regards Your Porto Surf School Team
Myself and my friend had a fantastic time on our surf lesson. Alfonso was a great teacher and helped us beginners to get the hang of it. We even stood up a few times !! I would definitely recommend this trip, the pick up and drop off made it very accessible. Bonus points for Alfonso’s playlist !
Hello! Thank you for you amazing review! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience! Keep surfing and we are looking forward to surf and share new playlist together with you again! Best regards! Your Porto Surf School team.
A great experience. The instructor Mico very good, competent and nice. He explained exhaustively what to do and what not to do in the water with the board. We had a great time and would recommend it.
Thank you very much for your kind comments. They are very important for us. We're so glad you enjoyed our school and instructor. We hope you'll come back for another surfing adventure. Porto Surf School Team
Super recommend the experience. I went three days to improve my surfing skills and really was a great time. They taught me things that I've never learned in any surf school and it did help me a lot progressing with my surf. Thank you team!

Wonderful and Amazing day! It was my first surfing experience, I have to say that apart from the ocean being a bit cold, all in all the lesson went well, the weather was clear and there were waves, very professional instructors! Thank you
Hello Danilo, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear that your first surfing lesson went well, despite the chilly water. It’s awesome that the clear weather and waves made for a great day, and our instructors appreciate your kind words. We hope to see you back in the water soon for more surf adventures! Your Porto Surf School Team.
If you want to get the best learning experience I suggest taking private classes because group sessions can be a bit crowded. Michal anf Oli were fantastic instructors, explaining a lot, making it fun and pushing us to the next level!!! Thank you so much guys 💪💪💪🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥
