Great surf lesson for a complete beginner with an amazing atmosphere

My friend and I were complete beginners and had such a great experience! We were really well looked after from the start, and Nuno did a great job of helping everyone at their own level. The atmosphere was super relaxed and fun, and surfing during sunset was definitely the cherry on top! 🌅🏄‍♀️ The surf school was also really accommodating when we needed to reschedule a booking that technically couldn’t be cancelled anymore. We really appreciated how understanding and helpful they were. Would definitely recommend, especially for beginners!

Sunset surfing

Hugo and Sara was great. The waves wasn’t that great but they really tried to make everyone feeling good! They were great and they had the best intentions!

First surf experience

Marianne and Laura did a very good job learning us to surf. The sea was a bit too crowded but we all had the chance to practice enough. Thank you 😊

Good

Even though they notified us actively and passively, we had to wait for people who arrived late and this meant starting half an hour late, honestly, it doesn't seem right to me. The instructors are kind and attentive, very good. We asked for an activity in Spanish, we were told that it was no problem but it was done in English and Portuguese. The kids had fun, that's what it was all about.

Great experience for the whole family

We had a great time learning to surf - one of the best activities of the holiday. Would have loved to go back for another session if we had more time.

Super cool experience!

It was our first time on a surf board and we got very good instructions so that we were able to even (almost) stand up :-D we had lots of fun and we definitely want to try it again!
